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.

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).

Hope the kid does well. They have a lot of weapons on that offense. Good chance for him to show well and end up on someone's 53 next year.

As great as it is that Dawkins is back...wouldn't shock me if he's either inactive or dresses but doesn't start. Guy hasn't practiced in a while and may be hard pressed to play next day. McD seems to like to bring players back slowly as well.

Baker and A-a-ron...2 of the top 5 QBs on the Dbag scale.

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?

What in the....no. Not even a chance they should. Love me some Smoke. Have the jersey. However he waa a speed guy that has lost his speed. Makes him Just A Guy now. And bringing him in now wouldn't really have him ready to run the game plan well.
Father Time catches everyone.

Oh, Did He Now
Who are these two free agent linemen that can actually play in the NFL (and that are known to be healthy)?
Keep in mind when the Titans needed emergency help at OT, they signed Bobby Hart.
That he did....and he's been elevated to the Varsity Squad😂

Dawkins has had an “ off year “, but he’s been a career solid starting left tackle. Feliciano AND Ford both being guards probably forces Williams back inside and leaves a very weak option like Hart at one of the tackle spots, and a promising but raw as heck rookie at the other tackle spot. It’s about the drop off at these spots.
Williams being back inside is a plus.
Yes, likely that Hart seems time (my guess is LT. Brown cannot go back there.)
Sometimes knowing your weakest point can actually be a point of strength. If we keep the right side Williams/Brown then we move the pocket right. Plan around your weakest spot. Up to Daboll to put in the best plan he can with the guys he has available. Good chance for him to show perspective new employers that in this world of COVID the can create on the fly when missing people.

So, is he a process guy yet?
Heck of a nice move by this young guy. He makes a great Bleu Cheese as well.

Are y’all forgetting that we are down 3 offensive linemen?
At this point it really shouldn't matter. Everyone has talked about how terrible Dawkins, Feliciano and Ford are all year long. Guess we can't claim we are doomed with 3 "terrible players" out.
Seriously, Josh has played behind a terrible line all year. It's like he's been training for this the whole season.

Titans are 2-3 in their last 5, so it isn’t like they are lighting the world on fire.
A lot of their wins have involved some luck as well. An OT win against the Colts, won on the last play of the game against the Bills, basically won on the last play of the game against the 49ers last night.
They don’t pass the eye test, and will be one and done in the playoffs in my opinion. Henry is a big wildcard in all this, but I don’t think you can pin your hopes on a RB coming back from missing months and carrying your offense.
Baltimore is another team like that. Horseshoe up their butt all year.
Yea, simply don't agree there. Even going 2-3 with the personal that have had is impressive. They have won games that are close because of their mindset and being able to force errors. That isn't luck. This is a team that is getting healthier and peaking at the right time.
While any team could be 1 and done in the playoffs this year I just cannot see it especially in that stadium with a playoff atmosphere.
What doesn't pass the eye test for me is the oversimplified way you say "a RB" like Henry isn't one of the biggest gamebreakers in the NFL. He's not just "a RB".
Baltimore, I can agree on.

These players owe it to the team take all reasonable efforts to be ready to play each week. They rehab like crazy, play with broken hands, torn MCL... but won't get a simple vaccine to greatly increase the odds of missing as few games as possible.
I have to think that some vaccinated players are pissed that their teammates didn't make every effort available to be ready to play in the biggest game of the season.
If the reasons they aren't taking it is politically driven, I agree with you.
Other than that, sorry this is lunacy. The players owe it to themselves and their family to do what they feel is best. Just like every other human in the world. Playing a sport gives them no further responsibility or requirement.
They are paid a paycheck and given rules by the league to follow be it vaxed or not. They owe it to their teammates to follow which set of rules apply to them. The "holier than thou" attitude to the unvaxxed is not productive at this point. Everyone is spreading it now.
At this point the unvaxxed have valid points just as us that have taken the vax have vailid points.
Some of you need to go back and watch The Sneetches by Dr. Suess.
This is the new normal of the world. People need to stop letting things like this divide.

While I hate that any are out, I actually am not that worried about the WR position. Our back-ups are solid there.
The bigger issue is Ford, if no Dawkins or Feliciano, our o-line is getting very thin. …. Bates, Doyle, opportunity and time to step up and produce.
Well, Allen is used to playing behind a turnstile OLine. As long as a guy or 2 can step up and play mediocre it's not a huge drop off from normal.

BB will scheme to take away Diggs and make us win with jags.
Seems pretty safe to say we will not be winning the division.
That's way they still play the game.
It was pretty safe the Bills would beat the Jags. Pretty safe the Cards would steamroll the lowly Lions. Was a great bet the Bucs would wipe the floor against the Saints ect ect ect......

Get it out of the way now and be ready for the final 2 games. They'll make it in on the wildcard and then it's a whole new season.
Teams that already had their QB recently on COVID list may have a huge advantage.

WTF...COVID going to decide who makes and misses the playoffs I guess.
Losing to Jacksonville and the 1st NE game at home may also have something to do with it.

Sucks, for sure. Other teams win games missing players due to COVID or injury. Time to hope Beane built a strong 53 man roster with COVID in mind. McK and Kumerow....time to earn your pay check

Agreed 100%.
Excellent post. Vrabel is a top 5 coach in this league if not top 3.
Titans are severely underrated and might win the AFC with Henry.
He is. He also has a To 2 most punchable face.
While I'm hoping for a Bills/Bucs Super Bowl (would love a rematch where we played 4 quarters)my current picks are Titans/Packers (assuming Henry comes back close to full strength).

Dawkins not likely to see many snaps today. Just not enough time to get him game ready from what it sounds. I think we may see him get a few snaps as the "tackle eligible". Wouldn't shock me to see a red zone target.
