Color me pessimistic. He’s a center. This will happen again. We need to shore up that position beyond Morse. One or two more concussions and he’s calling it quits.

Yep- maybe they  draft one next season

Nothing (as usual) thus far on the Bills Twitter page 

 

 

Or not.

I thought the concussion protocol was independent of the team. I don't think they get to choose when to take him out of the protocol. Of course they can hold him out of practice if they want but I don't think they get to say if he is or is not in the protocol.

What’s your vector, Victor? 

 

Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

I think has been in a spot where he could be cleared for quite some time. It almost looks like they are intentionally not taking him out of the protocol. This seems like he is completely recovered.

This is the problem with this.  You never fully recover from a concussion, especially when they start happening more frequently.  It is what it is now and you can’t change anything.  But this will always kinda linger.  

 

Sad part is back in the day, to prove how tough you were, you would just hide a concussion.

Sources say he got his hands on this same model

Now he just has to play 40 yards away from line of scrimmage and not hit anyone.  

 

Also, Kelso kinda looks like McDermott.

Wonder why they wouldn’t want him to have to talk to the media though - 

Expand  

 

I'm guessing to protect him from saying anything that could then be published out of context, creating and inviting unnecessary drama.  A sad reality.

I was wondering this from early on.
 

Secret weapon  lol

 But very good getting a feel for Bodine and the Long and Feliciano, even Bates.

to me that is good use of preseason and camp.

methinks Morse and Allen are quite tuned in already. just a hunch though   : )

Yes, the league gave him permission to wear Antonio Brown’s old helmet.

Expand  

I doubt it would fit given that Antonio Brown's head is so swelled.

[RocCityRoller]

I'm hoping Morse's treatment was nothing more than protecting an asset.

 

It says a lot about the Bills medical staff if this was known and allowed.

I cant see Pegs or McBeane doing this on purpose.

 

Hoping for the best, but if Morse gets his bell wrung again I personally want him to hang it up.

 

Mongo has been an enlightened signing and can hold down the C position for a year until Buffalo drafts the

best center available in 2020, then he can slide to LG and the OL is improved 2x.

 

If Morse can play Mongo (Feliciano) can slide left to LG where he is natural.

 

Hoping for the best.

Has Kelso been asked recently how he’s feeling, a generation removed from playing? He was a sharp-minded kid then and willing to protect his future using this humorous protection. Did it work? Is there any way to know if it did? There’ve been a couple players wear this since, but nowhere near enough, considering how many players suffer.

[ALF]

Kelso is still as sharp as the best, very successful and articulate.

I'll say it, cantaloupe is one of the worst fruits.

Oh I agree. It’s right up there with honeydew. Both act as cheap fillers for fruit salads across America.

I'm the guy picking out the grapes and leaving the melon in those "fresh fruit" platters on the buffet.  Just letting you know.

[Royale with Cheese]

You guys are all crazy....coconut is the worst fruit.  Followed by pineapple and then regular red apples.

Honeydew melon and cantaloupe are delicious.  

[teef]

who the ***** doesn't like melon?   especially honeydew?
