Giuseppe Tognarelli 1,817 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 "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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RiotAct 5,139 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 maybe he just forgot in the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Frankish Reich 1,681 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 He’s just listing the 3 RBs on the practice squad so as not to disrespect anyone .... 15 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YoloinOhio 54,830 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I just think he was giving him a shout out. He’s probably going to be Dobbins on scout team 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie Joe 3,084 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 He is simply saying that Wade can inspire the team during practice.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch 1,297 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 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?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

msw2112 476 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 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 12,976 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 He was probably just cycling through the list of RBs on the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beast 5,869 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Put Wade out there and have McDermott yell,"run Forest, run!" Christian Wade will never suit up for a meaningful NFL game. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jobot 514 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mykidsdad 563 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Please, someone really look into this. Is Sal out there? I really want to know if Wade is possibly eligible for a playoff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JGMcD2 1,345 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (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 by JGMcD2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuffBillsForLife 204 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
