Basham coming off a very good game playing majority inside Efe coming off a great game playing in n outside. Need these guys to step up. I'd take Dawkins over Star all day! Now we can throw Brown back to RT and Williams at RG. Dawkins upgrades 3 positions, LT,RT and RG. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late. 3 hours ago, MasterStrategist said: It's possible it's under consideration, but I'd think if that decision was made then he'd been moved to the non-injury list and free up a roster spot. It's not possible. The deadline has passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long has he been out. Based on change in rules, he could have been back since early in the week, but wasn't. so that tells me he likely wasn't symptom free. Injured players will start to at least practice with team before being cleared to play. If on the Covid list, that's not possible. So his only option to stay in game shape was working out at home. Not exactly the same. Add in that he hasn't played like he's been 100% even when he was back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Hopefully, Dawkins didn't have severe symptoms and was able to work out all week on his own. If he could do that then he won't necessarily struggle any more than he would normally. Which is to say, he has struggled sometimes during the current season. Still, if he can man the left tackle spot, that means the starting 5 on the Oline is 80% intact, as opposed only 20% of the starting 5 playing (center Mitch Morse)) at the spot which seems to work best for the team.

However, if it's not actually something serious it's seriously starting to have a Vontae Davis vibe to it... Vontae Davis vibe except he is not returning the money. I was a supporter of Star but not now. I thought he came back in good shape but with all of the risk to him of getting COVID I am really surprised he did not get shots when he could have with doctors and medical staff around to manage the risk. He has had far too many personal issues and had lots of time to handle those which are schedule based during offseason. 1 hour ago, Niagara Dude said: Great news on Dawkins, missing Star was expected and I think he is done with this team I think team is done with him even if they make deep in playoffs and he wants to come back.

I have tried to stay out of this, but I can't help but get the feeling that #11 Cole is trying to tweet his way out of Buffalo. That would be too bad, if true. Maybe he is just an excitable boy, but the constant poking of the issue and then making light of being out for such an important game, it doesn't add up any other way for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweeting his way out for expressing his opinion?

I think team is done with him even if they make deep in playoffs and he wants to come back. Availability is one of the most important attributes of football players. He has to know how important this game is to the team and yet is a no show. The Bills gave him a 50 million dollar deal and he has been a major failure signing. How do you think players on this team making far less money feel watching his actions? He got guaranteed money and then got lazy, time to say goodbye even if the team needs to suck up the dead money next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
