Some are concerned, but he is taking the #2 spot while Mad Max recovers then learns. He is an upgrade on what we had going on last year. Tre was playing well (finally) post-ACL right before he tore his Achilles. I hope he can approach being the player he used to be again, he just doesn’t get there quickly. I take nothing from last year, and I’m encouraged by the camp reports. 2 1 1 Quote

He will never be 100% of what he was. If he can be 80% its an upgrade to our secondary. I really hope they start controlling and monitoring his reps. We need him in January and Feb more than anything. 2 2 Quote

I always wonder if guys just don't want to practice and make up injuries.. That's why it's so important to get true dogs that love the game. 1 Quote

beebe Posted August 4 Posted August 4 What are we thinking for playing time vs the Giants? Will Josh play a series? Will starters play? Quote

I am a firm believer that not having these guys in house more often is part of the reason that we see more injuries. I think more in person practice (without contact/pads) will reduce injuries and greatly improve the product on the field. That isn't a knock on the work these guys put in all offseason. But individual sessions and maintenance work isn't a replacement for team work and constant in persons with S&C. A track star can run all they want, but it isn't the same as racing. Both need to be happening regularly and in tandem. 2 1 Quote
Gregg Posted August 4 Posted August 4 3 minutes ago, beebe said: What are we thinking for playing time vs the Giants? Will Josh play a series? Will starters play? My guess is NO as far as Allen playing. Some of the starters may see playing time but probably only for a series. Quote
buffblue Posted August 4 Posted August 4 12 minutes ago, beebe said: What are we thinking for playing time vs the Giants? Will Josh play a series? Will starters play? None, or as little as possible. 2-3 series apiece for starting offense and defense in the Bears game and then bubble wrap them Quote

Cheektowaga Chad Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Two thoughts on the crazy amount of injuries 1. I wonder if the bills are being overly cautious with all the cameras around the team especially after the benford passing concussion protocol so quickly in the playoffs last season 2. Would be curious if injuries and rehab are off limits to hard knocks cameras unless specifically given the ok by the player thus creating some private non filmed mic'd up time Quote

The Bills are planning on playing well into January and hopefully February this year......it's a marathon, not a sprint. I want guys healthy then, not gutting it out in training camp even with a minor injury in August. 4 1 1 Quote

No one's mentioned it in this topic so it bears mention that if the above list is accurate, Taylor Rapp is back practicing. 1 hour ago, Cheektowaga Chad said: Two thoughts on the crazy amount of injuries 1.

My guess is that the majority of the players on the list are being held out as precautionary moves. It is funny and painful seeing all the posters here freaking out AND criticizing the training staff. 4 2 1 Quote
