Nihilarian Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 5 minutes ago, BuffBillsForLife said: I feel bad for Christian Wade, the guy's dream was to play in the NFL so he quit rugby and came over here but he's never played a down in the NFL and father time is catching up. That said, he must not be very good if he can't dislodge any of our mediocre RBs. The man is probably very talented because if not he wouldn't even be on the Buffalo Bills practice squad. It's all about learning the game. It's so important for an NFL RB to know his roles, running through holes and lanes is just part of it. Blocking, Receiving too. Other American players have been playing USA football since pee wee football, high school, college and then the NFL. One missed block and our newly minted All pro franchise QB could be toast! One another note, after watching Williams run like a freight train against the Dolphins...I'm kinda hoping he knows his stuff and plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) Why is Wade ineligible to be brought up? That special designation he had for the Practice Squad was last year, not this year. Am I wrong about that? I thought this year he's just on our normal Practice Squad. I don't think McDermott made a mistake. Edited January 11, 2021 by transplantbillsfan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I think because of Brexit all of the earlier rules and laws don't apply anymore, so he can probably play. 2 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Does anyonw know if the exemption changes for the playoffs? PS changes drastically in the playoffs so possible? Its the NFL program would they allow it for the positive story and use it as a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhit34 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The thing that would make a deep playoff run sweeter for many on TBD: Christian Wade and Duke Williams active vs. the Ravens. I'm surprised people didn't want them to bring in Da'Rick Rogers last week for Colts intel...even though it's been a few years. I still don't see it with either of them.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Wade....Wade....Wade....Wade....Wade....Wade.... LOL, a Google search asking if Wade can play in the playoffs references TBD as like the 4th hit.

DCofNC Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Wade either makes the roster or goes home next year, it’s pretty much that simple, hope he can make something of his opportunity to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bay is allowed to play Indy’s players so why not? I say we pick up Dalvin Cook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
