bigK14094 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 A thinking coaching staff should have disaster players for this kind of position outbreak. Having Duke Williams know the TE routes seems like that kind of thinking. Not sure he could block much, but, until you try who knows. He could do the receiver role, however. I might have a tackle learn the position as well btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 1 hour ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: That's a lot of close contacts for what's supposed to be a physically distanced meeting room and practices. Since Kroft only missed one day and since Gilliam isn't on the list, I wonder if there was some kind of gathering outside the facility? Knox, Sweeney, and Becker all young unattached men. Smith has talked before about how it's important to him that the TE on the Bills are all decent guys since they're hanging around his house "getting to know his daughters". Wouldn't surprise me if Smith had a Thursday Night Football gathering at his home or something. Since Gilliam started out as a FB maybe he hangs with a different group off-field. IMO Schefter's tweet does not make sense. First: "where the virus passed" the virus hasn't passed (yet- hopefully never)!!!! The other guys are ID'd as close contacts, not as infected, they just go back 24-48 hrs for whatever criteria the NFL uses to define "close contact". Second, Gilliam is a TE and presumably at those same meetings, so why wouldn't he be a "close contact" if the TE meetings were the concern? That said....Knox was already declared "out" for the game and DNP all week, Sweeney on PUP, and Becker a PS guy...Lee Smith has been active only 2 games and played 4 offensive snaps and 15 ST snaps....so for something to hit with "minimal" impact Seems like Gilliam is mostly special teams so I assume maybe he was in a special teams meeting maybe? 2 minutes ago, bigK14094 said: A thinking coaching staff should have disaster players for this kind of position outbreak.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 What happens if we trade a 3rd for Ertz but the NFL hits us for irresponsible Covid and takes away our 3rd? Do we have to give Ertz back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Well, let’s hope Knox gets well soon, and let’s hope the spread is contained. I guess we will see how well the Bills have been following protocols. I believe they have been. McDermott and Beane seem too smart not to be.

Every NFL player, Every Day https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30023113/nfl-extends-daily-testing-covid-19-including-bye-weeks It used to be every day but game day, but my understanding is they now test on game day as well. If a player misses a test without team permission, $50k fine for the first missed test, suspension for the 2nd. Except on game day, my understanding is they test the morning of one day, and the results come out at 4:30 am on the following day. Positive tests are checked by rapid test in the facility and by priority re-test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Devey is a better run blocker than Ike Boettger. Nice find in that 2nd link. I note that while the author critiques him for a poor block in one clip (and it could have been better), he slowed the guy he was assigned to down until the ball was long gone The other interesting point was that they used him to chip and then release, like a TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I like WRs who can block. Too many WRs are too fragile to block and to make things happen (other than run past the coverage) we need WRs who can block properly without a lot of penalties.

HardyBoy Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The "only thing he can catch is covid" jokes are in poor taste and not really clever at all. There is a chance he develops long term impacts from this, but good to know who doesn't value players as humans...classy...wonder how many people laughing about Knox testing positive were indignant when others were saying someone else had it coming to him.

In light of your unkind remarks, and since it's been 6 hours since the last award, a conditional draft pick has been awarded to the New England Patriots. * As for 'tight end day', I thought it had to do with the sobriety of certain positional players, both offense and defense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m remembering correctly - I think there were 20 contacts of Cam and they all had to test negative before they could travel, hence the extra day of testing, and then traveled on a separate plane. In this case, there were only 3 and none are expected to play, and the one who actually tested positive definitely wasn’t playing and hadn’t practiced all week, therefore minimizing his contacts to just the meeting room. Lee smith would have been available to activate i suppose. Edited October 25, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
