Riverboat Ritchie Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Have there been any updates? Is he on IR now? What week? Seems like this year more than any other year we are all getting to learn more about IR rules and practice squad call ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Ike's return is big for us - we really need to improve the line as much as we can, and he's a solid player. My understanding is that he's off IR and could be activated any time. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHAN Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I think they can activate him today, or he's done for the season. That's what I remember anyways. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I always liked Boettger, so I recall a lot of people complaining about him last year. But I guess now he is the savior. I do think he can help us, but an achilles is really a terrible injury for offensive linemen as that plant foot has to be able to bear weight and explode. It happened so late last year that I wouldn’t be shocked if he he doesn’t play this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Well, ok. Bates, Boettger, Quessenberry, whoever else - the OL is a mess and will be worse if Morse is out. The OL is a hodgepodge of low-end draft picks and undrafted FAs. Dawkins is the lone high pick on that line as a 2nd rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codyny13 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I’m more concerned w Morse, as he’s had a history of concussions and if I remember correctly, he was contemplating retirement after the last one. Hes been our best lineman this year and could spell bad news if we lose him for any considerable amount of time. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsDad51 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) I like Ike. Remember the cheap shot Kiko put on Allen a couple of years ago? Boettger was 1st Bill into the melee to defend his qb. But when Boettger went down last season, Bates replaced him and o-line improved the rest of the season.

And he may be, don’t under-estimate the effect of bringing in fresh, strong legs at a time of year when both OLmen and DLmen are by and large playing dinged. Feliciano looked great 2/3 of the way through the season coming back from a torn pec, got a contract, and sucked next year playing “good on good” with everyone healthy.

Ike is probably on a similar level to the guys you mentioned. If anything, Van Rotten and Quessenberry are crap sandwiches and Ike is a crap sandwich with mayo. We desperately need to address the OL this off-season and it can’t be with guys like Ike. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike is better than both of them (certainly at guard). He is a very similar level player to Bates and the Bills put Ike in before Bates in 2020 and 2021 and only went to Bates when Ike got hurt. I see both as guys who you are always trying to upgrade if they are your starter. But you are really comfortable if either is your lead interior backup. I thought I head Ike was going to be done for the year though on one of the pods the other day. The expectation was he wouldn't make it back and would revert to IR. I hope not because if Morse is missing time I feel better about Bates at center and Ike at RG than I do about Quess inside or GVR snapping the football. Agreed he isn't a long term starter. But he would be a short term boost if he can return. Edited December 19, 2022 by GunnerBill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
