Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 "We'll look at guys on our roster that we have a lot of confidence in -- T.J., Antonio, and Christian...we have a lot of confidence in all three of those guys." OK, so I'll never make fun of anyone again for suggesting we call up Wade, because even though we all (okay, most of us) know he's not eligible to play, McDermott himself just this afternoon suggested it is possible. What am I missing? Why would McD go there? I don't buy the idea that McDermott himself might not be aware that Wade is ineligible. Smokescreen for opponent? Also makes no sense, because you have to figure they know the rules, too. So what gives? Is there an explanation I'm missing for these comments? 1
The Frankish Reich Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 He’s just listing the 3 RBs on the practice squad so as not to disrespect anyone .... 15 5 1
YoloinOhio Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I just think he was giving him a shout out. He’s probably going to be Dobbins on scout team 2
Aussie Joe Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 He is simply saying that Wade can inspire the team during practice.. 2
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Unless it's some kind of a loophole, can't call him up during regular season, but post season is not bound by that rule??

Yeah, later on in response to another RB question he said specific things about TJ and about Antonio but not Christian...so I think his intent was to just give Wade props as being someone we have confidence in. 1 3

msw2112 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Just a shout-out to Wade, who likely is a good guy who works hard in practice. He won't be elevated for this game (and if what I read on this board is correct, he isn't even eligible to be called up). The interesting call will be whether it's Williams or Yeldon.
Warcodered Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 He was probably just cycling through the list of RBs on the team.
Motorin' Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Maybe the unlimited Covid call-ups for the playoffs includes the international waiver guys? 2
Walking Tall Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Put Wade out there and have McDermott yell,"run Forest, run!" Christian Wade will never suit up for a meaningful NFL game. 1 1
Jobot Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Mcdermott is a leader. As a leader, he leads the entire organization. Believe it or not, not including Wade's name in his statement says something as well. He has now included Wade personally as a Buffalo Bills running back. He's part of the Buffalo Bills. It sounds simple, but I guarantee, Wade was listening, and now has one more reason to bust his ass for his head coach. 2 1
mykidsdad Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Please, someone really look into this. Is Sal out there? I really want to know if Wade is possibly eligible for a playoff.
JGMcD2 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) It's simple. McDermott read all the people on this message board saying he didn't know opposing player's names. Seeing the McDermott has a growth mindset, he's now going to list EVERY name possible when he has a chance - even his own players. This is because he heard us here and wanted to be sure to make the proper adjustment! Edited January 11, 2021 by JGMcD2 3
Brennan Huff Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Nothing to see here. Carry on with your night 1
Big C Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Man, calling up Duke and making him inactive and now this... McD is really trolling us. 2 1
BuffBillsForLife Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 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.
