Sucks but we are entering the weak part of our schedule. We can live without him for 2-3 games.

 

Banged Up Bills on Twitter is saying the mechanism of the injury (foot stepped on) likely means it isn't too severe and the timeframe to return shouldn't be too long.

 

 

Banged up Bob says Ed looked his gif horse in the mouth and got a sole clap for his insolence.

Is it possible to bring up both Logue and Phillips, as kind of a just in case? At what other position could they sacrifice? OL maybe?

Would be a waste of a promotion imo.  Each player gets 3

 

Agreed. We don't generally go with 5 active at DT. That's why we didn't bring anyone up when Carter went down. Carter would have been inactive so it didn't change much.

 

What I do find interesting though is Logue is thought of as a 1T. So I assumed they'd bring up Phillips to step in at 3T alongside Sanders. 

 

My guess is that since Walker is like Phillips in that he plays more like a 3T in a 1T body that he'll be used more as a 3T this week. With Sanders and Walker at 3 and Jones and Logue at 1 - with some mixing and matching due to flexibility amongst some of the guys, depending on the situation.

 

It'll be interesting to see who gets more snaps this week between Sanders and Walker, with Oliver down. Walker along side Jones would provide some serious beef up front for the Jets rushing attack.

Sad but this has been the story of Oliver's career. Dominat in a game or two, then gets dinged up and misses time or plays ineffectively while injured. He flashes brilliant play then disappears. I know this is a fluke but its happened pretty much every year. 

Just start Sanders this week and let him show what he has.

Zion is built more like a defensive tackle. Jordan is 62 and his knees are shot. 

Man at that age, he’d be T. Edmonds great great great grandfather. Who I believe will be eligible for his learners permit next year.

Didn't the Jets get Harrison Phillips for a 7th or something?

Waiting for the you're still faster than Coleman comments ... 😃

I wonder what the circumstances around being stepped on entail? My guess is that he was almost stepped on in a way that rolled it, not a puncture or bruising that is keeping him out

He's a 1 tech not a 3. 

This is what Sanders was drafted for. Should be a good opportunity for the kid.

Glad you said it, I was thinking it.  He had his big game, he was going to be invisible for the next 3 weeks anyway, so it’s not much different.   Now that’s sarcasm (sort of) because Ed is a solid player at baseline and has flashes of greatness.  If he could ever consistently play like he did week 1, the “good, but not top 10 pick” label could be dropped.

Give Kevyn Adams a call. The Sabres need a 3rd liner.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Jets plan to run the ball.

 

That should be everyone's game plan until we can prove capable of stopping the run.

 

Justin Fields isn't Lamar, but he's just as capable of running the ball as Lamar is. The Jets are just going RPO all day, and without Oliver, we're in real pain.

Im aware.

 

Harrison Phillips played a lot of three tech in college.

I think his horse Panty Snatcher stomped on his foot and McD is just covering for him

 

If he got stepped on to that degree during practice they would have held him out. He wasn’t noticed to be limping after practice although IDK the access non Bills employees had and Bills are very tight lipped.

 

Whatever the cause, just another chapter where Ed has a big game then disappears for one reason or another for weeks at a time. Just keep him off the field until he’s 100%.

Pretty much whatever city Ethan resides in, he's  but Cleveland is probably a good place for him.

Behind a paywall but to clear up once and for all... because there are two versions of how Oliver was injured:

 

"“It’s unfortunate. Things happen, come up through practice. He got stepped on, friendly fire type of deal,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Friday. "
