VW82 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I wonder whether the fact that Ford doesn't have Nsekhe as a snap-to-snap threat to take his spot anymore will cause him to better focus on his job and play better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 3 hours ago, FLFan said: Ty is done for the year and he very well knew it when they took him off the field. You could see it in his face. Our depth at Tackle was always a question going into the year and unfortunately the worst has happened. Ford will be fine and Bates is questionable at best, but he is now the man. It will be very hard (impossible ?) though to find someone capable who can learn the offense and play with 6 weeks to go. They are really looking for a backup to Bates at this point. As for Henderson, no thanks. He has had plenty of chances here and he is unlikely to get one more from this management team. Probably so but if it was a fracture they would have done surgery by now. It may be a high ankle or fibula fracture that does not require surgery. Those coudl be 4-8 week injuries. Given they have 6 more games and the playoffs, they might see if he can come back. But it is more likely than not he will be on IR when they sign someone.

TigerJ Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 1 hour ago, HOUSE said: Brian Mihalik is like 6'9" 320 LBS But looky what he can do.... He actually sounds kind of interesting. He was a college defensive end, but I don't think there's been a defensive end that tall who's had a successful NFL career wince Ed "Too Tall" Jones for Dallas back in the day. It takes a while to successfully change positions like that, but he's had a few years now to gain some skill at his new position. I'm sure he's not a any kind of potential starter, but his college background suggests at least some athleticism. He needed to add good weight and get a lot stronger, but maybe there's something there, and at 27 he's not too old to still have some upside.

Rocky Landing Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I have to believe that Ty’s career is over. Damn, that sucks. One of my favorite players on the team. Great attitude, solid RT, and an absolute giant of a man. A great story. One of the people that made it so fun to be a Bills fan this year. And, being a Bills fan hasn’t always been fun. Here’s to you, Ty Nsekhe. I hope we see you on the field again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Tackles are a liability against smaller pass rushing Ends. As long as he has quick feet Sam could be a good fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not being sarcastic, I’m truly wondering if I missed some kind of update) I don't think you missed anything, unless you missed the replay of his injury. The fact of the matter is: he's 34, and it looked like he broke his ankle pretty badly. That's a good 12 month recovery, at best. So, he'd be able to get back on the field midway through the 2020 season? As a #2 RT? At 35? I just don't see it happening. He's had a really interesting, and inspiring career. I will remember him for years. But, I strongly suspect that his days as a Buffalo Bills RT are over. 37 minutes ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: i only need to gain 20 pounds Over ??

biggerdaddynj Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Scrap heap of available OTs from Walterfootball (just using them because their list looks more comprehensive than others I found): https://walterfootball.com/freeagents2019OT.php Injuries this late in the year suck that's why you hope your practice squad has players stashed there who can step in and put in a yeoman's effort.
