    Disagree with this 100%, it's one thing if coming back from injury...another altogether if he tested positive and has had no symptoms/impact on conditioning.

    Nope. If it's Dawkins just back vs. Bobby Hart, Dawkins will start.

    Did you watch Spencer Brown last week?

    No time for that. Season might be on the line, he is playing.

    Fellas, you were saying?

     

    Look, it's not what I wanted as well....but I simply raised the thought that perhaps he would be a reserve today. Hasn't practiced in a bit amd likely isn't fully ready to go. He may see some snaps (look for him in the tackle eligible role...perhaps even catching a pass). 

  2. What would be really great is if there were I...I don't know...a squad of players. They could practice with the team and get to know the playbook and game plan.

     

    They...in an ideal world wouldn't count to the 53 man roster BUT if they were needed they could be called up to the main roster. Maybe somewhere between a dozen and a dozen and a half. Could even have experienced vets there stashed away.

    Wow that’s massive! Why is a Lamar out? Covid or injury? 

    Injury. Ankle. 

     

    He's had a really odd season this year. Barely practicing due to "illness" or "personal" reasons. Seeing a lot more players across the league get those designations then I can ever remember. Starting to think some players have some lingering COVID after effects and that's the way teams are masking that.

    I think there are a few yes. Schwartz, Decastro, Okung. I think there are probably guys that maybe either don’t want to play or can’t play so I’m not going to just say I know for sure who would be the best choice but I can say absolutely there seem to be better options then what we have actually done. From a depth standpoint alone it’s reckless. I keep hearing they don’t want to use Bates because he is the backup center. Well sign another guy that can play center then. You can’t keep risking the health of your season and franchise qb to reserve a spot for emergency centers. We need the best guys on the field. With Covid you could lose 4 guys in a week. Get 2 or 3 other veteran linemen in the hopper here to have options. It’s been a 3 month issue now. We are pissing away a season in a league where you never know when you will be back.

    Schwartz is coming off a serious back surgery. Has he healed? Does he want to return to put his body through that?

     

    Decastro had an ankle surgery and has said himself his body has just given out. He's retired for all intents and purposes unless his body magically heals.

     

    Okung sounds by all reports to be sitting by and waiting for a team to pay him enough to entice him to play. He made about $13M last season. 

     

    We have no idea, of course, how accurate any of these reports are. You know who probably has access to the facts a bit more? Brandon Beane. 

     

    So these 3 guys just sitting with bated breath for a phone calls from Orchard Park and willing to play for peanuts...has Beane looked into them? Has he been in contact with their agents? Do they get a say so in if they want to play at all...let alone play in Buffalo for a fraction of their normal cost? Or did you just Google "free agent OL" and pick 3 names you recognized?
