Wait what? All he said was we'll see and he doesn't know.  Don't see how that equates to a bad or long term injury 

 

It would suck considering he got 100% of snaps at LG 

 

Don't fall to a trap post by a Chiefs fan pretending to be a Dolphins fan in a Bills forum.

Consider the source

[HappyDays]

Heard from my usual source on this. McGovern has an MCL sprain that does not require surgery. Could have been worse but the usual recovery timeframe on those is typically 4-6 weeks so he'll likely miss a few games. My source thinks closer to 4 weeks and he'll wear a brace. That would put him back in week 3, although that is an educated guess not definitive.

I think Edwards takes the LG spot if McGovern does miss time. That time table if true really puts him on the PUP bubble. Wouldn’t be the worst thing if true. We have some solid depth there.

McD wouldn't make these type of comments if it wasn't serious.

 

Very concerning for an oline that looked as bad as they did against the Steelers. 🤢🤮

 

I see what you did there....

He is actually a Chiefs fan pretending to be a Dolphins fan trolling a Bills forum. It's actually kind of sad if you think about it.

Edwards can fill in well. Always concerned about overall depth when a starter goes down. Kromer needs to really step up this year. He has to get SB on track.

I'm kind of surprised this is being taken so lightly.

An OL that has been shaky all training camp, and looked pretty bad vs the Steelers, may lose a starter for the first few weeks of the regular season and people are mocked for being concerned. 😂

Bates is better on the left side and Torrence is a house

The oline should be fine. Kromer is damn good and Beane knows what he's doing. 

 

Not a big deal if McGovern goes down. The Bills are deep in that position. 

 

Smash the Jets!

Trust the process. Kromer is an excellent coach and Beane has solidified the oline.

The drop off from McGovern to Bates or Edwards is not so great that it kills our season. Our IOL is deep.

It's not like McGovern is elite. The pieces are there so long as the back ups don't get injured.

 

The Bills are more vulnerable at the tackle position. If Brown or Dawkins go down then I'd be more concerned. Even then, Beane has a solid plan for that too. 

 

Almost everyone in the league has oline concerns. 

 

Remember, number 17 can make up for a lot.

Thx for sharing.  I hope your source is wrong on this though. 

 

Curious McGovern stayed out with the team yesterday to watch remainder of practice and not seen on crutches immediately after.  But perhaps they found out more today, testing/imaging.  Depending on severity of sprain, Week 1 will be challenging to play.   Agree with your take on Edwards/Bates being capable depth, Quennin Williams seemed to have a field day LY with our IOL (will need to see how much of that was Morse/Bates).

all the "concerns" were at Tackle actually

[78thealltimegreat]

The Bills interior play is much better. It’s the tackles that are the concern and also James Cook getting bouncey and not the hitting holes that where actually opened for him see his 2nd and 4 debacle

how does an offense offset a strong DT  ?

Yes

 It's play calling

Correct.  100% agree, saw it happen week 1 against Rams.  Dorsey/Allen need to take the "jabs", then mix in the deep shots.  

 

It's against Ken's philosophy, but hoping he has learned that lesson for this year.
