Big Blitz Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Shut him down till week 9. Next 3 games Giants Patriots Bucs Don’t need him till week 9 at Cincy. Edited October 6, 2023 by Big Blitz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ and Kingsley need to step up if Von is also out Also tried changing x to Twitter and still won't embed. I'm on phone btw even if Von DOES dress and play, it’ll be a very limited snap count. Really wish the Giants and Jags games were reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 That sucks. Hopefully it’s a minor injury. I’m thinking Von and Kingsley Jonathan take up all his reps…. Jonathan is going to have a breakout game when he gets a chance. Hopefully it’s against the Jags…. Von gets some selective reps to work his way Into football shape.

zow2 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 This feels like a Vet rest game for him. I'm not saying his foot isn't hurt. But I bet if this was the AFC playoffs he'd be out there. But this season I am Ok with the club sitting guys out to preserve their health for the playoffs. The Bills have good depth and it will allow another player to shine who might have otherwise rode the bench this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von gets some selective reps to work his way Into football shape. Connecting the dots, it would seem to be "minor". A lot of reports, first from @HappyDays, that it could be a bad bruise or sprain. Maybe a 1-3 game absence. The fact he finished the Miami game and played through it, tells you its likely "short term" / could be similar to what Po dealt with leading up to last week (albeit his knee). Either way, I'd expect AJE to get 50%ish of the snaps and possibly more Shaq. Step 1 is activating Von, which would have to occur by tomorrow. Step 2, I'd assume they gave him on a snap count...maybe 25% or less of snaps...so I think we should all tamper expectations if he plays...torn acl/age 34/approx 10 months from surgery. No need to rush him back. AJE and Kingsley need to step up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Stinks. Hopefully not a lingering thing. Luckily, the Bills have nice DL depth this year. Leonard Floyd has been outstanding, and AJ Epenesa has been playing well. Add in Shaq and Kingsley for breathers and, if we're lucky, Von Miller and...not too shabby.

Chuck Schick Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I feel like this is a version of the NBA’s “load management”. 17 games, sneak in some rest during the season when they think/hope it won’t affect the outcome of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a couple of years ago on Inside the NFL that Ray Lewis said he would have trouble playing in today's game with how defenses can't hit players anymore. At least not like they used to. I wonder if players like Bruce Smith, Reggie White, Ronnie Lott would have been as effective as they were in today's game. All 3 were extremely physical players who would hit the opponent into next week. Edited October 6, 2023 by Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Was hoping Von would make his debut next week. But it seems he is cleared and what's one more week going to do at this point? But if he doesn't go I still feel pretty good about AJ and Floyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I don't know if Vonn will play but I don't believe the injury to Groot will impact their decision making in regards to Vonn playing. I think this game is going to be a dog fight, the Jags match up well against the Bills and they have the advantage of already being there a week. I hope I'm wrong but I do think it will be a hard fought close game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 It's frustrating that we haven't seen this defense at full strength, and we probably never will. We won't have one game where Miller, Tre, Groot, Poyer, and Hyde all are on the field at the same time. With Hyde and Poyer probably in their last year here, by the time Tre gets back next year, it will be a new group. Maybe Hyde is back, but I just don't see both of them back next year. Injuries have not been kind to this team the last few years. Especially the major ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the Bills will need him to get a win vs them. Can't overlook opponents in the NFL. We need to stop penciling in wins, as it's never that easy. Commanders just got blown out by the Bears (who everyone thought was the worst team in the league), Cowboys lost to the Cardinals, we lost to the Zach Wilson Jets... and never forget losing 9-6 to Urban Meyer Jags. Sure, it'd be nice for players dealing with injuries to take a couple games off against "easy" opponents, but there's no doubt in my mind that Daboll is going to want his team sharp against his former team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
