Tre White carted off

[nedboy7]

Every year I feel like we are gonna win it all but this year I have a bad feeling.  So maybe I’m wrong again.

Dane better not be the next guys up

Hairston may start and if White is comeback healthy he will start.  Forrest was also expected to compete for a starting S job, but it didn't work out.

 

Bosa is the only DL FA or Draftee set to start.  Sorry!

Hairston was not guaranteed… Tre White I doubt would start on any other roster.

 

My point is the Bills should have signed a solid FA corner who has starting experience. Other than Tre White, we all knew he might be a liability.

 

Best ability is…… we all know it, availability.

Has he been that bad?  I really liked how he played for us in his 1st stint.  He got burned now & again, but he was physical & a sure tackler.

I really hate this one. Tre was the “feel good story” of our off season. Because it’s Tre and his history, I think I an even more anxious for an update on this injury than I was with Hairston. 
 

And it happened on my birthday.  Ugh.

I'm there too on refreshing. Beyond thinking he was ready for a revival and the need for the team, I'm just tired of Tre's story being defined by misfortune. (and happy birthday, shrug)

 

Personally, I still feel superstitiously responsible. Nothing good ever happens to players I get merch for. Bought a Tre White Hockey Academy Jersey, loved it, but only got to wear it three times and we were 1-2. The one win: you guessed it! The Thanksgiving game where he got hurt.

We could do worse for sure. But he's a short term answer.

He is at the level of a 3rd string corner.

This secondary is a mess!!!! But it’s good we picked up like 10 Dlinemen in FA and draft

They drafted 3 db's.

The Buffalo Bills stacking injuries at a position...

 

Just another day that ends in y...

Reverse psychology.  We are winning it all for SURE now. Thank you

The bad defensive free agent class strikes again.  Sucks for white but relying on him as a corner was not very smart.  
 

nothing good ever happens during training camp.

It'll happen the year we all think we have nothing going and have no expectations.

This would only be true if something happened to 17 but these injuries are still concerning. Hopefully they can get healthy for the Ravens game which is 17 days away.

Nothing is ever easy is it.

They did draft a corner in round 1 also Tre was a fairly cheap signing. I don't think they went into the season intending to rely on him...

Well I just say this. In a 17 game schedule and preseason you (all the teams) are going to have injuries to deal with. 

[ShakAttack]

Usually, when it comes to injuries to starters, I get upset because of what it means to the team.

 

Today, I realize, for the first time, a potentially major injury is bothering me because of what it means to the player himself.

 

We all know his history, but what a great story and opportunity to come back to Buffalo, he had been in great spirits, locked in, extremely excited and grateful to be here.

 

And then this happens... it's just cruel. All major injuries are cruel, but this one, in particular.

 

We've all seen White react to these injuries. I would have been feeling a lot more optimistic if he didn't punch that wall.

 

But even with that, it seems like his reaction was not as "extreme" as the ACL and Achilles. Hopefully that means something.

I wanted Beane to spend on a non-retread starter at CB as well, but with having to re-sign Shakir, Benard, Cook, Josh, and Benford and limited cap space, Beane had to make a choice between getting needed help at WR (Palmer), DE (Bosa) and a CB starter and a S starter.  He felt (right or wrong) that DE and WR were bigger off-season needs than CB/S and with limited cap space for FA he went in that direction.

 

I understand the decision and mostly agree with it.  Our WR play and DE play were worse than our DB play last season (and that is saying something).  He also had Bishop who he hopes will make a huge step forward in year 2 at S and a good group of CBs with 1st rd grades.  

 

PS I'm not absolving Beane from wasting money on Samuel or for blowing the Elam draft pick.  I think we'd all feel better about things if Elam had worked out.
