Tre White inactive

[Freddie's Dead]

Tre' gonna be just fine.  No need to rush him back.

[HOUSE]

This is the grand bummer of all world  bummers....

I'm getting tired of this already. Only solace I can take is that this should be a cake game. Also the turf at Jets stadium is notoriously bad and has caused many injuries thus far.

There’s a difference between being cautious and babying someone. They’re babying him at this point and the media flat out refuse to get any specificity from the staff as to what’s going on and why it’s taking so long

Being discussed in the game day thread of course, but some posters have to LAMP. 

[hemma]

Wet field?

Afraid of cheap shots?

Looked crappy in warmups?

 

I dunno, a little confusing.

And then go out with hamstrings (Gus Edwards) and additional surgery (Jk Dobbins). Everyone is different and there is zero harm in slow playing it

Who cares? The team has 1 loss without him. 

 

Tre must be okay with the treatment he's receiving, and it's his body/career.

 

The FO of the Bills seems to be fine with it and it's their money/investment. 

 

Can't understand the people complaining they don't just throw him out there.

Because, team. He is a core part of the Buffalo Bills, a centerpiece of their locker room brotherhood. The team relationship, the culture, matters.

Just curious if Spenser Brown, Poyer, and Milano travelled with the team. Anyone have any clues?

Never actually seen that word typed out. Man it looks ridiculous. 

My only thing is, why even have him travel with the team this week if you were just going to make him inactive? Seems dumb 

 

What if 2 CB's work up this morning with food poisoning or the flu or trip and hurt themselves getting onto the bus?  Likely no, but If they really needed him, likely he could have played so have him available.  Also as others have pointed out, gets him use to pre-game routine and back into weekly flow 

[Process]

No need to rush him back. 

 

Have to wonder if it's a mental thing at this point.

Discom BOB ulated. One of the most excellent words ever.

 

As for your second sentence, I think it's a psychological ramp up to returning to active duty. It'll make much of what happens next week seem like less of an adjustment.

Sometimes high caliber athletes coming off serious injury have a harder time being mentally ready than physically ready. The knee heals but there is still some fear and uncertainty involved. Now I'm not saying with 100% certainty that is what is going on...but it really wouldn't shock me if he's going through some confidence issues in relation to how the knee will respond come game time.

 

He was on KB radio and said that recovery from such an injury has a "mental component" to it. So yes, you're correct.

And all athletes have the exact same injury and physiology, biomechanics, and tissue profile?

I don't know, I feel like they're being way too cautious with him. Eventually they have to start acclimating him in. Players come back from ACL injuries just fine these days, they're treating him like he broke every bone in his body.

 

Truly amazing that you guys are second guessing a professional medical and training staff that has an excellent track record. The Bills have been one of the least-injured teams in the league since the beginning of the McBeane era.

 

But you guys know better than them?

I mean he's probably not in game shape yet. So you'd what, play him for two snaps, pull him off for a bit and then two plays again.

 

That's a lot of time for him to get cold muscles between reps. He needs to be able to play complete series I would think before they put him on the field and have his muscle fatigue be above a certain threshold. This is all being scientifically measured by the sports medicine team, which is elite.

So what??? It's not YOUR body, and THANKFULLY you have absolutely zero say in this because that is utterly ridiculous... Blame softness and the media, wah, wah, wah... don't you people ever stop with that nonsense? He's not a damn machine!

I’d rather have him 100% healthy and fresh, especially for the end of the season/playoffs.

At least he will return to a hero's welcome in Buffalo! 

[Nephilim17]

No big deal against the Jets. I trust whoever's making the call here.

 

The secondary minus Tre could handle Aaron Rodgers; there's a decent chance they can stop a BackStreet Boy throwing a football.

IMO I'm happy he isn't coming back on a surface that is pretty notorious for messing with players.

who knows. Maybe there was a complication. But it’s November and I remember them allowing for debate of if he’d even start the season on PUP. At some point he’s got to get reps in though and I’m all for a few drives here and there to avoid the inevitable hamstring issue etc… now instead of December and the playoffs maybe impacted.

    Well he can probably help the young guys during the game.  Never hurts to have him talking to them speeding up their learning the pro game.
