is norman going to be activated? We could at least use him in nickel situations. 

 

he is a vet and a leader and if Hyde is out we could use that in the secondary. 

 

"In the Locker Room" interview with Hyde up at Buffalo Bills ("This Team is being Smart")

https://www.buffalobills.com/video/inside-the-locker-room

 

Hyde says he feels great, he's ready to go, he feels like he's 22 again, he can't wait to go to Vegas and play there for the first time.

The reporter quipped "Let us know how you go about feeling 22 again because we'd all like to know"

Got a laugh from Hyde and the reporters.

 

Hyde says "This team is being smart" with regard to going out and going to restaurants and bars and so forth, which contradicts some eye-witness comments from some here about seeing Bills players out and about town.  I'm gonna guess there might be a disconnect between the guys who are married or in steady relationships, have kids where "quarantine life" and "normal life during the football season" don't look all that different, vs. the younger unattached players.

I missed the eyewitness accounts - who was seen out and was it against protocol?

Names and specifics were not given

 

I don't know the details of the NFL protocol other than the players are to comply with local restrictions.  So if local restrictions are for gatherings of <50 and there's a gathering of 200, obviously that's against the protocol and the players shouldn't be there. 

 

If local restaurants and bars are open, I don't know what NFL protocol directs.  If anyone actually has a link to the actual NFL or team protocol to provide that factual information, that would be great.

NFL COVID-19 rules & protocols

• Player fines

According to ESPN, NFL players in early July that they could be fined for conduct detrimental to the team "if they are found to have engaged in 'reckless' behavior away from the team facility." (No such fines have been announced by the NFL or teams.) Per USA Today, below are the forbidden high-risk activities:

— Attending an indoor night club with a crowd of more than 10 people and without wearing a mask.

— Attending an indoor bar with more than 10 people (other than to pick up a to-go order) without wearing a mask.

— Attending an indoor music/concert/entrainment event.

— Attending housing gatherings with more than 15 people in attendance and without wearing a mask.

— Attending professional sporting events (other than their own games) without wearing a mask and sitting in a protected area such as a suite or an owner's box.

— Attending any gathering or event that violates local and state restrictions. 

A memo issued to players in early August and obtained by USA Today detailed the fines players can be hit with for COVID-19 protocols violations. Refusing to take a COVID-19 tests carries a maximum fine of $5,000.

Refusing to wear a mask comes with "a progressive scale that includes a max fine of $14,650 for repeated offenses," and refusing to wear contact tracing devices or not adhering to social distancing guidelines also carries a maximum fine of $14,650 for repeat offenders.

There are no known cases of players being punished for violations of COVID protocols except one. Seahawks rookie cornerback Kemah Siverand was cut because he was caught trying to sneak a woman into his room at the team hotel. He even tried to disguise the woman in a Seahawks hoodie to make her look like a player.

The NFL's early July memo stated that all hotel accommodations for players during camp must comply with NFL-NFLPA Team Travel Protocol, which states: "Room visits are permitted only by members of the Traveling Party."

This is fantastic stuff.  Helps me understand much better how McVay was making life difficult for our defense.

 

'Zo sighting as a commentator!

 

Am I correct in interpreting this that in terms of pass protection, the Bills were employing somewhat of a "prevent" strategy with the DBs playing deeper than normal?

I cannot imagine the level of low-life that would feel compelled to create a fake account just to mess with people.  At times I wish the internet never existed lol.
