Expand The bigger test will be in Week 18 when we have the 1 seed locked up. Starters should not have been playing late vs the pats or at all vs Miami last year. Will he do the right thing and rest starters this year?

Got to get him ready. Expand FTFY Edit: You're right in that I know Dawkins will play. I just would not play him. I get his situation is different with recovering from COVID, but I would not play him if he was healthy, so I would not play him if he is unhealthy. Edited August 19, 2021 by JohnBonhamRocks

Or was that a misperception? Expand Yup. Soft tissue injuries and Achilles tears, of all things. I don't believe football lends itself to an "on/off switch" like the NBA. That and NBA players play basketball all throughout the off-season. They stay conditioned. 1

Expand From TC thru the first 7 or 9 games, then the playoffs, lots of players dinged up last year on O & D, yet we swept the division, pretty damn good team aye…, Go Bills!!! 1
FilthyBeast Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Not going to lie, assuming that Allen doesn't play a down in preseason I'm going to be paranoid as a Mofo week one against the steelers for the simple fact that it seems a lot of major injuries always happen in the first few weeks of the season. Also going against the Steelers defense and TJ Watt won't be easy especially if Dawkins isn't anywhere close to 100% or peak form. One thing is for sure Daboll better not get cute or call many designed QB runs right out of the gate.
John from Riverside Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Let Dawkins get himself back to game shape before we put Allen on the field "The first check you right is for the house" "The second check you right is for the insurance"
BigAl2526 Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Well, technically, the Bills are not going to have Josh play. Josh would be more than willing to suit up and play.

Expand Dawkins won't see much of Watt over on the other side. Last year Daryl Williams spent 4 qrtrs beating him up and taking his lunch money. I was with a bunch of Stillers fans and they were blown away. They were absolutely adamant that nobody had ever even come even close to man-handling Watt the way Williams did that entire game.

Or maybe it's the Pegulas? As the rumor goes that if he doesn't play a preseason snap, his signing bonus is cut in half.

I'd be interested to see data on league-wide injuries in 2020 vs other years. Expand On 8/19/2021 at 2:36 PM, Motorin' said: Yeah, that's a data driven answer. But something that definitely needs to be looked at. Expand My guess is they have looked at the data (though not sure there is really a large enough sample size) and they are acting accordingly, possibly even player by player. Could explain why Oliver was playing for example.

Expand Oh yeah, I don't think there's any reason to play Josh. I just wonder if not playing most starters a fair amount in preseason games might make injuries more likely?
