But if I'm McDermott I'm telling Beane to keep a keen eye out for a starting calibre center. I don’t think there’s even 32 starting caliber Centers in the League...

Second of all, trading for a left tackle does not do anything to help the problem of an injured center. The Cowboys did alright when their C went down last year. Because the rest of the line was good. Anyone worried about chemistry or too many changes.....the whole dam line is new. Can't bolster center but you can improve the rest. Some of you can say there is zero need to panic concern sure no panic. Sorry another concussion for this guy already is absolutely reason to panic especially considering he was our most important UFA signing to a position that was hot garbage last year. I'll chose to panic. I'd much rather it be a shoulder or knee where you know---hey, 2-4 weeks he'll be good. With these you just dont know. 1

He looked good doing non contact drills yesterday so hopefully it isn't severe and doesn't linger but def a concern. We need him in those pre season gms getting those reps with Allen

Bodine is case and point of this... he was a starter with Cincy and they let him walk, he came here and didn't win the job outright ... we made him the starter then replaced him the next year. I think with Morse's history with concussions, this means Bodine gets to keep his spot on the roster. I know he doesn't have the ability to swing to OG like Feliciano or Long, but he's a better center than both of those guys, and you need to be prepared for the eventuality that Morse misses time, whether it be snaps or games, I think it's obvious this dude isn't going to be in every snap... 1

Maybe I’ve missed it, but we don’t even yet know what happened and whether or not this is just the coaching staff’s way of treating him with kid gloves to be more safe than sorry over a big nothing burger? I’d be much more inclined to be in the same mindset as you if this happened during the reg season and we saw him take a crazy bad shot—not saying you’re wrong, just saying maybe we need to pump the brakes a bit until we know more? 1 1

The fact he's doing conditioning is a good sign. Tells me its minor perhaps even precautionary. But still, already getting one to some degree.....not good. 3

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Sorry of already posted PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills center Mitch Morse is in the concussion protocol, head coach Sean McDermott announced Wednesday. Morse will miss Wednesday's practice. Morse's concussion was diagnosed Tuesday but occurred during Saturday's practice -- the Bills' first in full pads. Although it occurred Saturday, Morse's symptoms were not immediately discernible. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27294492/bills-high-priced-c-morse-concussion-protocol Marcel Louis-JacquesESPN for the twitter peeps
JerseyBills Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Makes me appreciate the Spencer Long signing. I know Feliciano was at C too but I think Long is a great backup. His bad play at C last year was largely due to a hand injury . 12 minutes ago, MR8 said: Bodine is case and point of this... he was a starter with Cincy and they let him walk, he came here and didn't win the job outright ... we made him the starter then replaced him the next year.

No way Bodine>Long at C
bigK14094 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 He needs to retire......his brain can't take the NFL game anymore. I am not happy, but I want him to lead a normal life. I do wonder how much guaranteed money Bean gave him. 1

RobbRiddick Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 A concussion already? Did he do it to himself wiping the sweat off his head? 1
Best Player Available Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Not good is an understaement. IMO he was the most important FA signing. And for good reason. He needs to stay healthy for the entire season. I would guess with all the games he missed one season due too a concussion. He will sit the entire pre-season with a bubblewrap helmet. 1
