Nephilim17 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Pleasantly surprised to see this so soon. Six documented concussions is a lot. If he gets a ring with us, I wouldn't be surprised to see him retire. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 This is a big deal. Reader is a beast on the interior, but the pass rushers they rely on (Hendrickson/Hubbard) are both banged up. Hendrickson playing with a broken wrist and Hubbard with a calf injury. If our interior doesn’t cave in, we can be optimistic the tackles will give Allen time to throw. The Bengals pass rush formula, from what I’ve heard, is to have Reader and co. collapse the interior and allow their high motor pass rushers to clean up off the edge.

I know it’s an unsexy position, but he was quietly one of our best offensive players last year. I am concerned for his health as I think this was his 6th concussion. My eldest son had five and surprisingly not from football, but all lax. He had to give up his scholarship over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Bates was basically Mitch-lite at Center last week, but the real value of having Morse back is Bates going back to OG and taking one of last week's Guards off the field. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eldest son had five and surprisingly not from football, but all lax. He had to give up his scholarship over it. Morse has played well. But in the one game sample size Bates was fine. The issue in Miami was they did not move Bates to C when Morse went out. Is Morse at C with Bates at G better than Bates at C with Ike/Q/VanRoten at G...yes I think so. Bates has been a bit of a disappointment at G. He's been ok but in retrospect I now wish Beane had not matched the Bears offer sheet. I advocated for keeping him then and I won't fault Beane for doing so. Had White not been injured my guess is he lets bates walk and drafts OT/OG. Oh well what is done is done. The key is not letting Van Roten anywhere near the center spot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't THINK so... over eight seasons. Tua has had THREE concussions in ONE season. THREE in ONE. You are being very disingenuous.

Why because you watched a documentary about concussions and CTE? Maybe he should consult doctors and make an informed decision. Any football player has been concussed and most are not documented. People are taking big liberties with their limited knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I am glad he is back, but I am also worried about him. He is clearly an upgrade, and this is an all hands on deck type game, but we need him in the playoffs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Today on GR-55, Ross Tucker did his weekly segment. They talked about concussions, Tua, and Morse for a while. Ross said that if he knew he had a documented 6th concussion (like Morse) he would not return to playing the game. But he pointed out he's older now, has kids, at a different point in life, and everyone has to answer this for himself. I totally agree with him! Morse is nuts to continue playing. You have to assume he is gone after this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather draft a C and have him be the key piece ob the OL for 10 years. Doesn't change the fact that G is still a strong need.

Eric Wood nicely implied that Bates did fine AND played through an-game injury, but that the line is operates much more smoothly with Mitch in there, esp on the road where he calls out assignments etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
