Enjoy your retirement, Lo! My thoughts exactly. He always gave great interviews, has a million dollar smile, and should just get on with the next phase of his life. Preferably as an announcer.
MarlinTheMagician Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 I respectfully disagree. I think if Zo came back he would be the definition of all-in. It is in his DNA. The way he acted his entire career. What kept him in the league so long despite the fact no one wanted him at the outset. I think he senses this could be special, and that he respects McDermott enough to say "only if you think I can help, I will be there."

Da webster guy Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 What about Star? Can guys who have opted out come back? Not sure where the problem is on the front 7 run defense, but if we keep letting RB's run through us not only will we start losing games, its hard on the smaller db's to be tackling these beasts with a full head of steam.

Sig1Hunter Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Judging by his recent IG post, I don’t think it’s likely he comes back any time soon.

Feels premature to jump to needing leadership and a guy off the street saving the defense. let them play through it a bit. while on the sideline, he can remind our players to “walk with that swagger”, a la Ray Lewis.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 12 hours ago, BuffaloBills1998 said: Lorenzo said before that he would come out of retirement only if Buffalo needed him badly, I think it’s safe to say we need him and it would be nice to see him back out on the field as he would help and be a leader in the locker room along with Allen and many others. Thoughts?? For what purpose? Even last year, whenever it was a passing down he'd come off for an extra DB. Klein played one snap Sunday as they went with five DB's all game. You could argue that they did that because of Klein's weakness or because the Rams passing game dictated, IMO it was the Rams play that caused the Bills to go with five DB's. I don't recall last year when Milano was hurt, Alexander filling in for him. Unless you suggest he play nose tackle I don't see that we'd gain much.

Can’t just jump out of the golf cart and onto the football field 🤷🏾♂️ If there is an NFL player that could its him I mean he played offensive line and defensive tackle before switching to linebacker in the NFL

He would be all in and then some ! and me too ! just hope Bills are not in need of his help. Who wears # 57 now? Maybe we see what he can do yet ?

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 I think we need his leadership. I do. I don't think this is far-fetched, because I noticed something very interesting on his segment on One Bills Live on Friday. He was constantly saying "we" and "us" when referring to the defense, much more so than usual and almost as if he is a part of it. I would not be surprised if there is some kind of an arrangement.
