OldTimer1960 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Depth Chart: Diggs Davis - really too injured to be effective, but gutting it out McKenzie - concussion, likely out at least 1 game Crowder - out for season broken ankle Kumerow - out, ankle Shakir - likely starting v. Pitt Boy, that is f*cking ugly. Davis should be sitting until healthy, but they NEED a body on the field. Shakir will be fine, I think. Nobody else even has much chance at all of playing this week. Can’t go into a game with only Diggs, Shakir and a seriously hobbled Davis. Who is available? I loved Isaiah Hodgins effort in preseason, but he can’t create separation against preseason fodder. I don’t think he will contribute anything of note in the regular season. None of the other practice squad bunch is likely to help. I guess maybe Tavon Austin could make a play once in a while, but I would not want to count on him much. Do they have $ to sign a vet? Is one available who could be more than just a guy? Is Emmanuel Sanders in shape? Beasley signed elsewhere. TY Hilton? Will Fuller? Things are desperate enough to consider a trade, but really can’t take on significant salary so maybe for a young guy they liked that hasn’t hit it big yet? 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuba guy Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I believe the strategy will be gut it out this week and help from the magic bean might just come before the buy week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, might as well move Cook to the WR depth chart since they don't want to use him at RB. 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I think this week they go: 1) Diggs 2) Davis 3) Shakir 4) Austin (from PS) 5) Hodgins (from PS) Then they probably mix in more of Cook and DS into the passing game, and maybe go more two TE’s. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA OC Bills Fan Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I don't think we can assume McKenzie is out. Conclusions come in all levels of severity. I read on this board he's doing his show today which implies it's likely not severe. And hopefully Davis will be better with resting most of the week. Othersise, Hodgkins or Austin it is. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't get a ProBowler but maybe a promising young player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, and Shakir to be ready to go. We have Hodgins and Austin on the PS. Stevenson also just completed his 4 game IR stint if we want to activate him to fill Crowders spot on the roster. I think we are fine. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
