IR? Begs the question -is surgery required?

I’m thinking they expect it be at least a 3 week injury

Feliciano has struggled this season. Hopefully we can take a peak at our backup olineman.

Thank god…. Gives them time to come to their senses how awful he is…

 

Unfortunately Ford has been worse and is probably the replacement.

Hoping when Spencer Brown comes back they kick D.Williams inside and put Ike in at LG. I don't know why so many dislike Ike but I thought he played well last season. I know he isn't setting the world on fire but he can at least play decently from what I saw last season. Mongo is not a tragic guard but his play has ranged from below average to backup caliber. Hopefully he just needs time to heal an injury and can come back.

Quinton Morris elevated. I have been looking forward to seeing him in action. Hopefully he gets an opportunity and rises to the challenge.

I am praying Douglas is that gem that comes in and shows he can actually play

I thought something was "up" when the "fashion shoot" photos were late

 

Interesting that it's Morris and not Warring who got the call-up this week.  Perhaps they weren't impressed by the 3 snaps they saw from Kahale last week.

Or perhaps they're trying to "spread the callup loooove"

 

I personally don't think it's good news to see Mongo go on IR.  I might be alone there.

I read recently that calf injuries tend to be slow to heal because the blood flow isn't as good there as opposed to a hamstring injury..........so perhaps that is the issue.

That is their best line IMO. Ike has played better than Mongo this year

I thought Ike was fine last year, I’m wondering If Bates is that bad? It seems the few times Bates actually plays the line does well. 
 

I trust our coaching staff, I am more thinking that our guards are so “mediocre” there isn’t much drop off between the starters and the backups to be honest

Nah probably Ike…. Though Ford will play tomorrow due to Brown being out.

 

Im hoping that being on the bench will kickstart something in Ford.  At least stop the 1 on 1 jailbreaks.

I assume this is the moment the coaches put Ryan Bates at OG to see what he's got, right?

I don't know why he hasn't cracked the lineup at some point. He can supposedly play anywhere on the line, but he never gets significant playing time.

It's baffling to me, he can't be worse than Cody Ford.

Some stuff about calf injury timelines here.

Magic 8 ball says "unlikely to occur until Feliciano comes off IR"

 

I agree with the people who would like to see Bates crack the lineup at OG

Well, the Bills like him. They have protected him all season--but probably more for his vet experience than ability.
