Ed Oliver in walking boot..per Matt Parrino

[Delete_Delete_Delete]

Not like Breece Hall and Fields weren’t going to run for 200+ anyway… Sorry, I know, apparently he’s coming off his “best game as a pro” in a game where the defense gave up 40. I get that “they wouldn’t have won without him forcing that fumble”, but they also likely aren’t even in that position as a team if they were able to hold Henry under 15 ypc in the first place…

could be worse news.  Hopefully we get him back for Week 4? 

 

So, his foot got stepped on and he ended up in a walking boot with a multi week injury? What the hell stepped on his foot? An elephant?

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

I can’t skate either

He didn't have the boot on the sidelines during the fins game.

If Ed is good to go for the Saints game, I would still let him rest and let the rookies get their reps. We SHOULD be able to win that one without him.

Yea agree if there is any doubt give him one more week. Get him 100% for New England who will try and test the centre of our line.

I agree with this. But if we're sitting him again, do we use up our 3rd and final call up (before the Playoff exemption) of Zion Logue or do we save that and give Phillips a call up this week?

Enjoy the mini-bye week Ed & Matt. Then gitcherazz back on the field!

Good question.

 

Id probably use the final call up. Logue has played well IMO when elevated. With Ogun returning and Ed on the mend, you’d hope you’ve made it through the toughest stretch with DT numbers. Who knows how game ready Phillips is in terms of conditioning. It’d be interesting to watch as using his 3rd call up essentially renders him useless until January.

Yeah and if they were to add him to the active roster and later release him he would have to clear waivers.

🤘👍 To the last 3 comments😆

I'd like to say the Bills are the number one reason I come here, but it's you people. And I emphasize "you people"😂😆🤣

Walker is a big guy

[PoundingDog]

There are reports that Ed still walks with a slight limp - without the boot.

 

I'd not dress him this Sunday.

I kinda wonder if a strategy of a couple of bye weeks for stars wouldn't be a bad overall strategy in today's NFL.  Let Cook and Oliver sit for Cleveland.  Shakir and Bosa for Miami.   Maybe sit Josh for the patriots game in week 15...you can even just let them sit out the first half and bring them in if things get dicey. 

[Big Turk]

Let him rest...definitely not needed against the Saints...Bills should win by 2-3 TDs.

 

Opening line is Bills -14.5

I agree with the consensus.  Let Oliver rest.  I think the idea of calling up Jordan Phillips instead of Zion Logue is good, unless the Bills have been calling up Logue in order to save their callups of Phillips for later in the season.  I think Logue's strength might be run defense where Phillip's is rushing the passer.
