Now we risk having our all-pro receiver out indefinitely because our vet safety felt he needed to play with some “swag”, as LeGOATski put it...great... If you are down with that, that’s fine- you are entitled to your opinion...but I am not down with that, especially if it ends up costing us regular season games- or worse, Diggs missing the season due to needing surgery...I know, call me crazy- but stuff like that happens...

WotAGuy Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 “McDermott on Bobby Hart: “I’ve been happy with the way he’s approached it. Seems to be working on his game. He’s here early and I appreciate that.” Now there’s a ringing endorsement! Wonder what he’ll say after next week’s game? ”I’m happy with Bobby Hart. He parks his truck perfectly within the lines in the parking lot. I appreciate that.” 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I was looking forward to seeing more of Sweeney. Thought he had a solid outing against Detroit. Hopefully the boot is precautionary and he'll be back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW. @Hapless Bills Fanhad some type of info showing who was on the field for each drive. I'm not sure if that had the ST snap count per drive too. That would be pretty cool to look at. What say you Hap? It was a Joe B article in the Athletic and no, @ColoradoBills, it showed offense and defense but not ST. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he miss last summer's training camp with a foot injury that lingered into the season? 4 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Yeah, well, considering it's been reported: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-roundup-latest-training-camp-news-from-wednesday-aug-11?campaign=Twitter_atn Quote NFL Network's Judy Battista reported 91.7 percent of all players have had at least one dose of the vaccine. Fifteen teams have more than 95 percent of players vaccinated, Battista added.

Yeah, I had the thought that McDermott (and certainly Daboll) probably weren't too thrilled with that interception of Hyde's. Moreover, when he was on-top of Diggs, he rolled over and got to his feet, right over Digg's legs. I "get it" he was probably just real excited but you can't lose your sense of what you're doing (practicing!) like that. I don't think "indefinitely" is in the picture. Remember Diggs stayed on the field and was tossing signed footballs into the stands, and has been walking around at practice coaching players. My guess is a sprain he might play through during the season, but is taking extra pains to "get right" during training camp. Maybe BangedupBills will watch the play and give us his take. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to bet they gave Hyde the proverbial pat on the back and "nice play" and that was it. You make that play all day in practice no matter who is involved. It's a clean play and this is football. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Not to mention Tre White revealed in his interview with Charles Davis last week that McDermott was specifically coaching the DBs to play physical. If he didn't want to risk Diggs, he would just have given him some "veteran rest." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see a difference between coaching to "play physical" and launching yourself horizontally into the team's star WR to pick a pass in practice, then rolling on his knees as you get up, I don't know what to tell you. As Hyde himself has said at times "I'm the 'he be doing too much" friend". There's a time for that, and practice in training camp is not that time. I'm sure having film on that will make Allen a better QB...IF Diggs isn't more seriously injured than thought. It's possibly not a good sign that Diggs has been out at practice and traveling with the team but wasn't out there today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde isn't some bubble player looking to prove a point out there. He knows what's up and, like Tre said, doing exactly what McDermott told them to do. If you want to blame somebody for the Diggs injury, you can blame the coaches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD just needed a reason to set him for preseason IMO Hyde helped. I bet he is fine Ja the other young/ new receivers TE's need plenty reps and Diggs is a lock and a Pro. If Allen aint playin and it is nor for the money ? Diggs should sit, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
