The problem is with Mitch we're all walking on egg shells. Other teams know one good slap to the helmet might retire him. If anyone in the NFL deserves a special "Kelso" helmet its Morse, not AB. He's not playing a full season, in fact if he plays 8 games it will be a miracle. This is where I’m at. Any more than 8 games from Morse and I’m happy. Just assuming our line is: Dawkins - Spain - Feliciano - Long - Ford ...until I see otherwise. Good news is that Feliciano looks pretty decent at C. 1
HappyDays Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 They should probably draft a center early next year just to be safe. I'm not sure if he has 2 full seasons left in him, unfortunately. I'll be happy if we get 10 games out of him this season.

I wonder if the NFL will let him wear the red jersey for regular season games. Was joking with my brother I’d put the over/under on Morse at 5 games.

If he ends up with another concussion and retires, then he retires. Nothing I or anyone else here can do about it.

Just as long as you realize Morse retiring after another concussion is a real possibility.

It seems to me to be a foregone conclusion he'll be sidelined again, sooner rather than later. Chalk this one up to taking a risk that probably won't pan out. I'm just glad Beane got other guys in like Feliciano, Long, and now Bates who have gotten a lot of reps at C during camp. 1
oldmanfan Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 You do your due diligence, make the best decision you think you can, and cover your bases as best you can. Not much else you can do. 3
Patrick Duffy Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) If he does go down again I feel pretty good about Feliciano taking over. He seems to be pretty good at C if needed. Edited August 20, 2019 by Patrick_Duffy
njbuff Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Well, the Bills do seem to have a million guys who can play C, unlike years past. How effectively they can play when the games start FOR REAL is another matter. ?

They did the best this could with what’s out there and have plan B, C and if they have to D. D by the way is The guy who we plan A last year... so there is that. calcilated risk taking is part of the process.

I'm still holding on to the slim chance that they considered keeping him out of serious contact play until the start of the season as a precaution. My only flimsy evidence is, they went ahead and took care of the core muscle maintenance and then as soon as the pads come on.............well it seems that next week after preseason game #3 he will (just in time) start taking snaps with Josh full time to begin the season. I know it's a long shot but I have thought of the possibility.
