FULL practice for Ed Oliver. That's pretty cool, at least.

 

I want to know how someone stepped on his foot so badly that he was out for a month and a half.

If that month and a half was towards the purpose of bringing him back as close to 100% as possible (as opposed to 70-80%) then I am all for it, and I sincerely hope that is the case here, but yeah, they definitely painted an oddly vague and incomplete picture of whatever happened.

Bills are 9th in sacks and fastest to QB this year, shockingly

Even worse when you consider 95% of FA and the draft was spent on improving the D!

Shhh. Brandon Beane is clearly a genius who didn’t simply luck into Josh Allen…

I really wanted a reporter to say something like "how did you hurt your ankle, Mr. Ed?"

McDermott and Brady address the offense being "too cute". 

 

Brady seems to justify it. McDermott doesn't seem happy. And I think he's correct. Look for Buffalo to get back to basics and downhill running this week IMO.

Horses are really heavy.

You know that Knox fumble was an interesting play.

He had blockers out in front of him.

Way too bad about the fumble.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Milano’s injury brings up an interesting position battle: who starts at Will?

 

Previously, Dorian Williams got the nod when Milano went down earlier this year. Then last week, mid-game, Shaq Thompson came in with Williams inactive due to injury. 
 

Do yall think it’ll be Bernard/Williams again? I thought Shaq was then better of the options at the position but wonder if their plan to play any 4-3 factors into who they want when we are in base.

Right, probably could have gained a whole 12 yards 😭

With those moves to IR, we have two open spaces. I am guessing Logue gets the call to the 53 since he is out of call ups. 
 

 

 

Gotta assume these two spots will be going to Hoecht and Ogunjobi after Monday!

I'd be surprised if its not Shaq.

 

Bijan is an all around weapon, but in the pass game can be lethal/big plays.  I'd rather have the better coverage LB on field. 

 

I'd like to see us stack the box and make the Penix to Drake (Benford matched up) connection beat us.  

 

Kyle Pitts the other middle of field/mismatch for them...another reason for Shaq and to drop a safety to take away middle of field.

The guy has been with multiple teams in four years, even the Eagles said no thanks. Perhaps a red flag there ? 

Still better option than what we currently have.

 It is rarely play calling. It is usually execution.  Would i Like some more designed plays for Shakir and Kincaid - yes! But the players need to execute a simple handoff that is done at the high school level every Friday night

Honestly Shaq looked a little slower last week than he did in the previous games. Not sure he can hold up at a high level for a full game. I'd probably platoon them, but McDermott has stated in the past he doesnt like to do that.
