Success Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That doesn't seem too bad. Worst is Douglas - but in this kind of game, Dane will do well, I think. It will be physical and he shouldn't have to cover too many deep passes, and he's great at that kind of game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely isn't trending well for him playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just speculation on my part but I don't think Rapp, Douglas, Dodson or Davis play. In this type of game I think Rapp and Dodson are a loss on defense. I think Elam and Hamlin will likely be active and this type of game kinda plays into what Hamlin does do well as a guy that is a bit physical. Dodson has also been pretty decent against the run...but maybe AJK gets the elevation. Is Davis week to week? Not worried about Dawkins playing. I'm betting he's out there but if not Van Demark looked ok in his limited snaps. And no TJ Watt helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he said immediately after the game he'd be good to go, but I haven't seen anything conlusively saying how it's looking for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I doubt Douglas Davis or Dodson will play. Hopefully they are back for the divisional. Diggs basically confirmed Davis is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcd yesterday had them all “day to day”… Not his “week to week “ which means they are out … so I’m still hoping a couple of them play … hopefully Rapp and Dodson who should be suited to this game .. There is no tomorrow … so you gotta push it a little,,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he said immediately after the game he'd be good to go, but I haven't seen anything conlusively saying how it's looking for him. Douglas has moderate MCL sprain. That’s usually a 2-4 week injury. Gabe has the PCL, unless it’s mild which is 7-10 days, I think he’s in that same 2-4 week boat. Of course I expect both guys with ligaments to try and go next weekend. Dodson apparently wrecked his shoulder on that flip tackle - torn labrum and partial rotator cuff tear. It didn’t look that gruesome at all, but after that flip tackle he only played two more snaps and he went to the locker room. Guess he could try the Jordan Phillips from last year, but how effective is that going to be. McDermott might not declare all three of them officially out tomorrow at 11:00 AM on WGR, but after reading the main game thread, I don’t think any of them are getting back on the field Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) I think there is a chance Rasul plays considering he felt he could have kept playing last week...but if he doesn't then this is an ideal game for him to miss. Weather will slow the game down and the other DB's will be fine, plus the Steelers are scaring no one throwing the ball anyway. Dawkins kept playing last week, so I assume he plays this week. Rest seem more about rest days, were full participants, or are guys who we can win this game without.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Against Miami they had all 22 starters from opening day (counting Douglas as better than White) except Milano. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfaBill Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 This stinks. The only 20 minutes ago, Process said: I doubt Douglas Davis or Dodson will play. Hopefully they are back for the divisional. Diggs basically confirmed Davis is out. The only time we’ll miss Gabe is in agame where his blocking will be needed for the run game.

cgang Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Concerned about Rasul forcing to come back. Get that this is a huge game but I worry that he could really damage that knee and I also worry about his effectiveness if he tries to play thru it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Dawkins will play, which means both Bills’ lines will pretty much be at full health. Daquon and Ed are game wreckers, and Daquon has his sea legs now. Rasul going down in a game vs a weak-armed qb in Drake-Passage weather conditions doesn’t concern me all that much. Dane is fine as a fill-in in crazy conditions because he is an excellent tackler. People need to take a deep breath. All of the Steelers success has occurred on deep throws or mid-tier throws and catch-and-runs in cover-zero situations, and that’s why Rudolph is enjoying an entirely unsustainable 9.7 yards per pass attempt over the last 3 games. The bills don’t give up that stuff, and he is likely to be humbled by the conditions. I am betting on the far superior qb.

BearNorth Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Summarizing: Douglas ---> Dane Davis ---> Sherfield/Harty or more 2-TE sets for blocking Rapp ---> Hamlin [?will we have to use 6 db's against Pitt? - 21st ranked passing attack] Dodson ---> Dorian or Spector or AJK Dawkins ---> Van Demark Still should be serviceable against the Steelers 25th ranked offense. Wouldn't want to play KC without some of these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
