Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 1 hour ago, No Place To Hyde said: I agree with what you're saying however I see at least SOME of the point of the unvaxxed athlete as well. Let me get out of the way that if their refusal is political based or centers around the misinformation then I really have zero symphthy for them. However the big 2 points I can see is this. 1. As we see...getting the vax does not automatically translate to staying on the field. 2. If I was an athlete I would have MANY questions about what long term side effect there may be. Especially when the vax first came out. It seems like every 3 months the "facts and science" change for various reasons. If I made my living due in large part to my physical condition that alone is something to take pause and read up on. If Mike the accountant gets his vax and there is some sort of long term issue...he can still be an accountant. What happens if an athlete had a bad side effect that ended their career? Potential for losing millions. Again, this would be the train of thought when it first came out and around a year into it. Now we are at a point where I believe the ones that were skeptics about it for legit reasons have educated themselves and gotten the jab. The holdouts now are by and large people that are too swept up in politics to even care about becoming educated....but hey,they have a snazzy podium collection. I suspect this is a "Gateway drug" to a general Covid discussion, but since we're working within the "we're talking about football" framework: The thing about Point 2. is "what long term side effects there may be of getting infected with a novel virus?" Equally true that if an athlete has a long term side effect of the virus (say, if Tommy Sweeney's myocarditis didn't resolve), it could end his career. Even a guy like Dawkins, where he's still on the field but perhaps playing hampered -- - if this were his "contract year", I think it's fair to say he'd not be getting the same Payday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Pretty much a nightmare in a critical game. Dawkins hasn’t played to his usual standard, but he is certainly the best Player on this poor OL. I know you have to play with whoever is healthy, but in a game without Dawkins, Allen could sustain a serious injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 I looked at the depth chart and brown is listed as Dawkins backup at LT so that’s what i expect to see. But I’m seeing Mongo as starter at LG and then Ford as Williams backup at RG. Since ford was a healthy scratch last week, i do wonder if they would start him this week with Williams needing to play RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he put in the work to be at an elite talent level, this year his production has completely dropped off, missing easy blocks, and letting others chip off of him to create pressure.

He didn’t think unvaccinated should be treated so differently and that the league was pushing the vaccine and just cared about money and not player safety. On this case they are referring to the teams in the advanced protocols doing the daily testing for all players.

I don’t read all the stuff out there on the bills so have no idea if he was later vaccinated ? It seems like this would be false pos test as he had natural disease and from lectures I have seen , pretty rare to get second infection.even a variant, after natural infection. Of course maybe he has some other immune issue we are unaware of ? Hope he is ok and this is just a false pos test. Sure don’t need more hits to this o line !

The rate of infection we're seeing with omicron is unprecedented. A bunch of players carrying it will not be taken away from team activities so it is going to spread through a lot of teams and only the unvaccinated players will be caught with it.
