Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 If Torrence starts at guard, there is zero chance Doyle is on the team. There was only a tiny chance to begin with. Bates is the backup center in that scenario. Bates also can play OT in a pinch. Hell he is probably better than Q. Quote
Dr.Sack Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Average is good. Hoping for a full recovery soon. Quote

I didn’t realize I tore mine for over a year because it stopped hurting pretty quickly and I could function fine. The third time my knee gave out after a sudden side movement I got it checked and found out. Ortho knew it instantly when he manipulated my knee. Quote

And of course it effects everybody differently.. Thurmanator played without an ACL his entire career But that has to be unique.. you're lucky you didn't do more damage if that's possible Edited August 14, 2023 by Buffalo716 Quote

How many tackles did we keep last year? 4? I guess that depends upon how you count. We had Dawkins, Brown, Quessenberry, Doyle, and Bobby Hart on the roster last season but that lasted for like, 2 whole games. At Miami, Hart had been suspended and Doyle tore his ACL so I guess, 4 through most of the season? 4 hours ago, BillsShredder83 said: Not coming at you, but I thought I saw in GameDay thread a lot of ppl saying he looked bad and hobbled and very stiff out there. Am I mixing him up with the other late round T, Nick something? The discussion I've heard was around Ike Boettger who, sadly, does not look good. 1 Quote

I thought it was interesting that been Denmark was the first guy off the bench and not Tommy Doyle Maybe the bills have found somebody a diamond in the rough 1 Quote

May not be head trainer's issue. Some injures cannot be diagnosed without a MRI and sometimes insurance companies or whomever is in charge of paying the bills for equipment is mi$nydery. I had an ankle injury which never healed and went to 8 different doctors with 8 different diagnoses. It got to point I needed to use hand control to drive car. The eighth doctor said it could be due to plantars causing too much strain on ankle and put me in a cast to soften it. Within days I was basically crippled and he said that should not happen and got an MRI approved. Test showed a cyst size of a golf ball surrounding ankle bones, tendons and everything else in error. I specialist needed to be called in and cyst was removed. I was told I would be out for at least 6 weeks, My company did not want slot unbillable so convinced government agency to change my job requirements and then let me go for "lack of work". 1 Quote
