Tre White is ACTIVE for today's game!


Recommended Posts

I find it very peculiar that Tre and Elam were both on the field so little. In a season where the team’s depth has been taxed so severely every active spot is important. Having two corners who are basically non participants is questionable. If it truly is a mental block with Tre, then I guess just getting him out there is a step in the right direction. I wish we could have seen him later in the game though. Elam was on the field in the 4th for at least one play. I think he was maybe an emergency option this week and not part of the plan.

I think the plan is to work him in slowly. Getting more plays each week and hopefully he will be feeling confident enough to play major snaps by the Miami game. We will need him for that one. We can survive the Pats and Jets offense with Tre playing a limited role. 

 

Agree.  He does not get preseason games and having him in beginning of game allows Bills to recover if he cannot finish due to conditioning.

This game was close and if any of the DBs got injured he may have to play more snaps.

If you have a guy who's mentally having a hard time coming back from an injury, is it wise to throw him in the deep end? I think they are just getting him more comfortable.


 

um, yea, throw that guy in.

 

I think the bigger issue is getting into game shape to avoid a hamstring issue haunting in the playoffs because of how late in the season it now is

As far as I know Elam was out like last week?

Seems like the game plan was to stretch him out, Defense on the field first, get him a series or two and call it a day.


He’s not a pitcher. He shouldn’t have dressed if he couldn’t go more than a few snaps. This is football, it’s not his personal preseason, and that kind of coddling handicaps the D.

So I didn’t notice Tre out there during the first two series, which I guess is a good thing. Does anyone know if they even threw his way, or was he even involved in any of the plays?

 

I think he played the either the first play or the first series and they didn't throw at him. But I never heard or saw him again after the intro.

He played 15 snaps on defense, according to official folks on Twitter.

Seems like the goal was to build his confidence, as they have been doing. Now they’ll have him on tape and he’ll be able to see himself competing in an NFL game without limitations. It’s not ideal, you’d like him to be fully ready to go, especially with our CBs struggling, but at least he got out there for a series. I’d expect them to build on that next Thursday.

According to a site called lineups.com, Elam played 21 snaps and Tre 16. I only noticed Tre on the first drive and noticed Elam only once which was in the 4th quarter. I don’t know how accurate that site is but those numbers are more encouraging than I initially thought.

It’s pretty obvious now what the plan was. Give him a training camp and preseason games. Camp lasts 6 weeks, White practiced 6 weeks before playing. Preseason game is typically 1-2 series, White played 2 series. 
 

We should expect White to play a quarter or into the 2nd quarter vs NE. Then after that I think he gets a full game.

White is the best corner I’ve ever seen in a Bills uniform.

Too young to have experienced the Leodis McKelvin era?

 

Robert James.

 

Ironically, a knee injury in the '70s ended his career way too soon. Tre is lucky to be playing in the era that he is or he may have suffered a similar fate.

Antoine Winnfield, Nate Odomes are up there too.

 

It is interesting that Stephon Gilmore, who will probably go down as one of the greatest corners of this era, is rarely mentioned as a Bills great, by Bills fans. He spent the first five years of his career with us.

It's easy to say but they're doing the right thing imo.

 

Does anyone know what they used for the graft? Was that ever announced? My son used his hamstring for the surgery and there IS some trauma there as well. I won’t pretend to know if that would have any effect at this point, but it makes me wonder.

Was just coming to post the same thing haha...

 

Good sign...he looked like he was moving pretty well on that one and I didn't hear his name get called which is never a bad sign on D.

Isn't it usually from a cadaver?
