BubbaT Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) I was surprised to see Nsekhe on it with a groin injury. Williams was limited with a groin as well. If neither can go Monday night, do you think Bates will be the next man up? https://www.patriots.com/news/week-16-patriots-bills-injury-report-x8898 Edited December 24, 2020 by BubbaT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Was relieved to see the CBS report that AJ Epenesa is said to have "avoided a concussion" and is expected to play. He's been very useful at RDE.......which has helped allow Hughes to go to LDE where he finds the rushing easier against less agile RT's. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't see Williams practicing Weds. Let's see (rummage rummage). Yep, looks as though Nsekhe injured during practice Weds, got checked out and returned, but they kept him out today. Bates isn't just "next man up", might be only man up! Looks like we may elevate a couple OLmen this weekend. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Williams 922 snaps, 2.5 mil Nsekhe 46 snaps, 5.2 mil Wonder if Beane is doing a ‘hmmmmm... groins’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Wouldn't Bates play inside ? I might think they will have to shuffle the deck again at O line and adjusting Offense with Williams out. He is pretty darned reliable. Ty needs to be ready to go . But heck, its just the Patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st&ten Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Bates has played guard & tackle. He'd probably be the next man up but they might mix in Lee Smith on plays, he listed at 265 lbs but he looks to be closer to 290+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Our injury report is near useless. McDermott as become near Belichickian in his use of the injury list. Unless he rules someone out there is little information to be gained on the players we know have suffered injuries. I don’t put any stock in Williams not practicing. We know he pulled his groin, we have no idea the extent of the injury and won’t until game day. That’s good coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying in my own odd, 5 WPM truncated language is that both are UFAs next year, we have had a good year from Williams (28 years old) and it would be good to keep him on the team. Redirect that 5.2 mil Nsekhe (30 snaps and his 35 year old crotch hurts) money toward Williams. It may require an additional 5 mil, but 5.2 + 2.5 is a good start. Bates or one of the PS guys can be the 2021 float. That can be Beane’s next, smallish wizardry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lined up as a tackle in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea he has started to come on since the bye when they committed to him and benched Trent. Was always gonna be slower for rookies given the reduced offseason. He needs to take another step year 2 but I have been reasonably pleased with his progress in the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But heck, its just the Patriots Bates can play anywhere on the oline really. Has experience at C, G and OT. He is super versatile which i think was a big factor in him making the team this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
