Frustrating if Dodson starts, the middle of the field will be the size of a barn for QB’s Beane is good at throwing bodies at roster holes.

Would have been great to see Gouriage get run on the right side but alas... 1 minute ago, Airseven said: That'll go through a day or two of editing. Definitely.

Warriorspikes51 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 If Beane doesn’t bring in anyone else where there is desperate need for even a barely average stop gap player…. it’s discouraging and it’s going to cost us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to happen. Otherwise we are going to be absolutely wrecked over the middle Who would that be? Christian Kirksey is still coming off a hamstring injury. And if he were playing at an all time level the year before, they wouldn't have released him. Good MLB's aren't available for trade. Even if there were a guy, you're operating under how you'd handle things. Not how McDermott operates. As I said in another thread, he wasn't comfortable playing a RUNNING BACK months after trading for him because he "needed time with the playbook". RB is maybe the easiest position to transition teams with. MLB is one of the hardest. Especially in McDermott's complicated Defense. He's not going to plug and play a guy there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterStrategist Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 From all the updates, appears like these will be moves made tomorrow: 1. In season IR -min 4 week out (3): Barkley, Shorter, Spector 2. Sign(1): Reid Ferguson That leaves us with 2 open roster spots. My guess would be backup RT and Kirksey at MLB. We have Evans, Johnson, Isabella as options for the P/S. Each provides KR options, as call ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, I'd expect him back on the Practice Squad and called up quickly if things really deteriorate. Bernard returned to practice recently. So they'll roll with Bernard and Dodson for the time being, maybe Klein too if he's brought back tomorrow. The level of "concern" must not be as great as fans are reading into it. Or else they'd have made a move right then. I suspect it was more of a message to Dodson after his freak out and about the injury to Bernard. Message sent to Dodson and Bernard is back from injury. We'll see what happens. You may be right. Or they may scheme the Defense in a way that helps out whoever starts. Maybe Rapp playing up the field some with 3 Safeties. Maybe switching guys in and out to keep them fresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his nod to Von Miller, it seemed pretty clear Lavonte David wanted to stay in Tampa where his kids are in school and stuff. Bobby Wagner wanted to "go home again" to Seattle. Drue Tranquill is someone the Bills could have signed, in theory. You got one there. Who are these "any average players" that you feel would be better than what we have? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when Brown goes down again they may try Bates out there or Dawkins, VanDemark taking over LT. Hopefully, the plan is revealed tonight.

Nah, dude, I heard from a buddy who attended a high level meeting, that McDermott isn't content with just being the head coach and calling the D. No, no, no... He wants in on the long snapper action, too! /s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB is a major issue obviously. Perhaps too is relying on White, Poyer, and Hyde to stay healthy. They still have three guys stacked at CB2 on the updated depth chart, so maybe we get the platoon bonanza. And there's no reason to think this DL is improved as far as controlling the line of scrimmage. Lord knows when Miller comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your really good at throwing hot takes at everything Bills related. Turns out they were so cold most were probably heaved at Miami players faces in December. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
