I was there Sat and it was hot, but I definitely would not consider that day high humidity (not saying it wasn't hotter with higher humidity today) - having also lived in So Fl, it did not approach anything close to the typical late summer humidity in Fl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 2 hours ago, nucci said: why is it always mid-season form? Is early and late season form worse? I'm sure most reporters are just spouting cliches without thinking about it, but I personally think this cliche makes some sense. You'd typically expect players to show some rust and/or inexperience early in the season, and you'd also expect players to wear down some late in the season (whether due to injury or fatigue or whatever). So "mid-season form" is where you might reasonably expect the best balance of having enough game reps to improve performance, without being so beat up that performance starts to suffer. (Not that that always holds true of course!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Good to see Dawkins back, my understanding is he's cleared his quarantine but he has to clear medical protocols and be progressed back into the workouts (what kept Boettger on the sideline for two days) Would like to know the "non-Covid illness" though 48 minutes ago, JaCrispy said: It might have been that collision at the end of practice with Hyde yesterday...just speculation though I'm worried about that myself.

eball Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 The only "injury" I'm concerned about at this point is Dawkins. He clearly had enough of a reaction to Covid that it has kept him from participating for multiple weeks. Stamina, conditioning, strength could all be affected. We have a month until the season starts but I hope he can get out there soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per NFL protocol, Fri or Sat (depending on the date of his +) was the soonest he could have been back (minimum 10 days) and they had off Sunday. We're talking a week and a half here, tops, and there's no saying he wasn't healthy enough to work out during that time. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie was also waiting for the ball and telegraphing its arrival. He needs to be better there. But agree, he shouldn't allow himself to be out-fought like that. Hopefully a "growth experience" for McKenzie And also agree with @Forward Progress, hope Lil' Dirty's OK and was grabbing his helmet in horror at having lost possession of the football, not because he injured his head.

appoo Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 5 hours ago, Rochesterfan said: Honestly - the way they monitor these guys - the players may not have been as bothered as some data they were monitoring gave a warning and the trainers had them sit out. The week prior to the Miami game - I remember the staff talking about extra hydration all week to get them hydrated. It was a week of getting them ready for the temps and the humidity and then still having to give a few guys IVs to replenish the fluids. During training camp - they are hydrating, but losing fluids everyday - so they never build up the excess. My guess is that is what you were seeing today. Hot and humid - taking breaks and getting off the field for protection. Hope everyone is alright! Contrast this back to High School ball with 2 or 3 a days in this heat and few water breaks - I can’t believe more of us didn’t collapse. Nah we just pissed coca-cola when we got home and thought it was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
