Fans need to understand they signed him to be the backup. There wasn’t an injury forcing him to be the backup. They chose him. He is nowhere near good enough to fill in for Josh Allen.

Beck Water Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 27 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Report after he was cut says he’s healthy now. It was a strain. "Strain" is the generic term for excessive stretch and/or tearing of a muscle, just like "sprain" is the generic term for excessive stretch and/or tearing of ligament. Like sprains, strains are graded according to severity from Grade 1 (NBD) to Grade 3 (serious injury, may require surgical repair) My guess from the duration would be he had a Grade 2 strain, meaning it hurt and swelled and needed several weeks rest, but not surgery. "Healthy" for a football player returning from injury is a relative term; he likely is "healthy" in the sense of being able to practice now, but he's going to have to get into playing shape. And for a 30 year old guy, injuries do tend to linger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s best buddies with Josh. If you watched the movie “Seabiscuit”, the horse performed much better when it had the best buddy in the stable/paddock. And beer. So we should start referring to Kyle Allen as "Pumpkin"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 4 minutes ago, Logic said: It's like the time they asked Peyton Manning's coach why his backup didn't get more practice time, and the coach's response was "Because if Peyton goes down, we're *****, and we don't practice *****". Folks -- if Josh Allen goes down, the Bills are *****. Whether it's Kyle Allen, Tim Allen, or Allen Ginsberg, the Bills aren't going anywhere without #17. The division should be tight. If Allen aggravates the elbow and misses 3 games, let's say, being able to win 1 or 2 of those could be the difference in making the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks -- if Josh Allen goes down, the Bills are *****. Whether it's Kyle Allen, Tim Allen, or Allen Ginsberg, the Bills aren't going anywhere without #17. This is very true - but it's also not the best reason to treat the position of backup in a casual way. Sometimes, a QB gets hurt and just misses a few games, or a month - and that's when you need someone who can just hold serve for a bit. I don't consider it to be the most important need on the team or anything, but you do need someone capable in those circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klein is a vested vet and does not have to clear waivers. Spector will go on IR and Klein will come back tomorrow (IMO). IIRC, they usually give the guys who do them a "friendly" that way, a little "cookie" in the form of guaranteed $$ or a little extra bonus.

Remember they can "elevate' a PS player for the Jets game even if it's not Klien. Kirksey is scheduled for a visit at OBD too. Or so it was reported.

I just didn't see much good RT play in the preseason - certainly not from Van Demark (who did much better on the left). Anderson was a tackle in college I believe, but has been IOL-focused this offseason. Same with Edwards. Bates is a swiss army knife...is he the first in at RT?
