Let's review the rules, or at least my understanding, because it may be less of a practical difference than you think:   1. vaccinated: test 1x per week (think it's Monday) OR if symptoms OR if exposure as a close contact Can return to play if no symptoms for 48 hrs and 2 negative tests 24 hrs apart (or after 10 days, whichever is first)   Close contact: Do not have to quarantine but must test daily for 5 days   2. unvaccinated: must be isolated for minimum 10

This has nothing to do with getting vaxxed.

 

If he's vaxxed, he might be able to play Sunday, and will almost definitely be able to play against the Saints.

 

If he isnt vaxxed, he can not play either game.

 

HUGE difference, and plenty to do with being vaxxed.

If we are relying on a rookie RT to make our break our season, then we have bigger problems.

 

We will be under center more that will help the OLine.

 

There have been major upsets the entire season.  The WFT beat Tampa, Jets beat the Titans, Broncos destroyed Dallas, Dolphins manhandled the Ravens.

Don't let the Jax game change you're entire thinking on this team.

I hope you’re right.  It’s isn’t as much about Brown as much as it is about the situation with Cody Ford.  He has been bad in just about every start and Williams hasn’t played that great at Tackle this season either.  I’m pretty concerned about this outcome

While the injuries and covid issues keep piling up for this team, let's be serious though.....if our entire season hinges on a 3rd round rookie olineman then again this front office had an epic failure this offseason.

 

One thing is clear though, Ryan Bates must start now right tackle. Time to stop worrying about him getting hurt because of his backup center ability because at this point it doesn't matter and need to keep Williams at RG and Ford nowhere near the field as a starter.

FWIW, I think we would all feel a lot better if our OL/Offense can show they made adjustments and win a tough game without Spencer Brown..  I don't think any of us feel that great with the notion that our entire season hinges on the availability of a rookie RT, as good as he may be.  

 

We absolutely cannot weaken two positions to save one again.  I'd rather keep the other four lineman in their current spots and let Doyle or Bates take their lumps at RT.  Knox is back and we can use him to help on that side.

That would be concerning.  If Bates or Doyle can't start over Ford....how bad are they right now?

If I read the tweet from Sal or Joe B with who has been lining up with the first unit and I see Ford....gut punch.

I have never been a doom & gloom type when it comes to the Bills. But, unless the D has a shutout, without Brown the game is pretty much over, right?


I don’t feel so great about it, but we’ll have to wait and see.  They did win 3 games with Brown not starting at RT

The season doesn't hinge on it but anytime you lose a good player it affects the team.

Im almost positive that happens.  I’ll actually feel a little better if Bates gets the start.  They do have a little time to prepare

you still need good linemen to run a screen play

 

In an ideal scenario, yes, you'd have five good linemen blocking for a screen play.  However, as things happen (like the subject of this thread), you work within the confines of what you have available.  Running more screens and quick passes helps to compensate for a line that can't hold pass protection for a typical longer-developing pass play.

Did you watch Doyle’s rep from the Jets game.  He got destroyed easily by Shaq Lawson who was quiet the rest of the game.

Yes, and he was playing on the left side.

 

If it's not Doyle then go with Bates. I don't want to see Williams at tackle again.

True, my concern is the abyss, otherwise known as Cody Ford. 

 

If anything now I won't be mad if the Bills lose, I'm already expecting it.

He's only started a few games though and he's was never supposed to be starting this year to begin with.

 

The issue goes back to offseason when this front office was adamant about bringing back the same exact oline that struggled mightily last year in run blocking and against the Chiefs twice. I get Williams because he had a probowl caliber season but there shouldn't have been any question regarding letting Feliciano go and looking elsewhere to replace him.

 

Also magnifies Basham over Creed Humprey (who is a top 3 olineman in the entire league already) and why on earth we didn't do something at the trade deadline.

 

Either way everyone knew that this is the type of season we would see because of the Covid stuff still lingering and it's only going to get worse in the coming weeks as cases start to explode again across the country regardless of vaccination status.

Why do you say that? I follow him on IG. 

 

Ah, looks like he's cleaned it up since becoming pro. When he was drafted, there was some talk about some of the things he had posted previously.

 

Maybe he's changed his tune. Hopefully he's vaxxed for employment reasons, if nothing else.

I think Josh being under center will make a huge difference.  Even with everyone healthy, our OLine has been below average with Josh in shotgun.  I think our 3 highest shotgun percentage game, we lost them all.

I'm actually not as worried about this as some of you are but I understand.

 

I think Josh being under center and the playaction game will help cover up the OL weakness.  I think we will be fine.

Josh just needs to put some extra Charmin in his back pockets
