ChronicAndKnuckles Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 This is huge. I really hope we can get past the Fins tomorrow. If not we’ll need Von even more. I’d rather Buffalo not be so desperate in the win column so they can ease him in the rotation slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 4 hours ago, Limeaid said: I wonder if they can make him active, get dinged in practice and then put on short term disability. I suppose they could. But why? They don't have to activate him this week. They can wait as long as they want. The three week window only kicks in after he's activated.

Gunsgoodtime Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Nice, he can join the safeties on the roster and race wheel chairs at this point! The 3 of them only make 50m a year! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 12 hours ago, ColoradoBills said: I'm going to wait and see how they want to get him back to full time. I would guess a DE has to get cut to make room for him. Kingsley Jonathan seems likely to be the guy. Not sure if he would clear waivers. Lawson could also be the guy, I guess. Guys get banged up all the time so maybe they'll just take it one week at a time before activating him. They may need him to start with a decent number of snaps if another guy is banged up. I wonder in Kingsley gets "tweaked" somehow the game before Von is activated and he sits on IR for a few weeks. Funnier things have happened. We will see how it shakes out for sure and someone heading to IR is always a possibility. But one name to keep an eye on if they do move someone off roster may be Poona Ford. Especially if he's inactive again today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll get worked in more and more with each week. Once we get through the Jags, we could see him sparingly for the next few games. We need him full court press for the. Engels game. After we hit the hard part of our schedule with the Bengals, Jets, Eagles, and Chiefs. We also will definitely need him in Miami towards the end of the year. You mean "snap count. Pitch count is baseball" 🤪 8 hours ago, PrimeTime101 said: So Floyd normally plays on vons side. anyone know if von or floyd can play on the other end?

Ford will be valuable vs run heavy teams (the 2 or 3 left😆) and later in season rough weather games. Never forget missing DaQuan Jones against Cincinnati 😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never forget missing DaQuan Jones against Cincinnati 😫 Ford played 10 snaps week 1 against a team that had to lean into the run. He played 13 snaps against the Raiders. Then was a healthy inactive last week against a Washington team that leans to the run. He hasn't looked solid when he has played dating back to the preseason. I was excited to see him signed but at this point he's starting to look like a JAG...and they seem to like Kingsley Johnathan. Like I said above, if he's a healthy inactive again today (and Miami has a VERY healthy inside run game) then I think he's likely odd fella out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the potential upside with Jonathan maybe something the Bills don't wanna risk losing. Nicer problems to have compared to back in the day though!👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Fan Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Floyd, Von, Rousseau, and Oliver on the line at the same time. This is a Superbowl worthy DLine. Me likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippery Rubber Mats Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I can't wait I love watching Von play. What's interesting is how much Floyd reminds me of Von, he's got a similar bend and speed rush off the edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like that gut from the panthers That's kind of the weird thing. The system we run on D upfront is a lot like what Seattle used when Poona had success. The Seahawks changed and he didn't fit that system. Popular thought had been that him coming here would help him bounce back to old form, but that hasn't seemed to happen IMO, either. I'm looking forward to inactive list here in a bit to see if him being a scratch last week was more of a match up thing or if Johnathan has passed him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
