Tre White Injury Updates (Torn Achilles now confirmed)

[Big Blitz]

I don’t think we should be downplaying what a loss this is. 
 

Did you see his coverage on Hill that last play?

 

He has an IQ that you can’t teach.  And a skill set you just don’t replace.  
 

Especially in a secondary already down a starter.   

I’m absolutely calling around for CBs.

I think Von being activated this week is 50/50.  And agree he likely takes Tre roster spot, after IR.

 

Not sure there is a reason to "elevate" Ingram on gameday yet.  They've rolled with 3 outside corners each week, expect that to continue.

 

But I am high on Ingram developing into a "Dane" role (3rd corner type in the future).

I agree the injury sucks, but I wouldn't point to that "last play on Hill" as evidence.  Hyde was sitting over the top, doubling Hill.

 

We've not had to put Tre, or Benford for that matter, into many situations without safety help.  Benford got beat 1-1 last week against Curtis Samuel, but he's done really good.

 

There's a reason people say Coachs schemes are CB friendly, going back to his Carolina days when he didn't have "elite" talent there some years.  We are primarily zone, and have a talented DL/instinctive talented LBs and 2 safeties that get guys into position very well/communicate well.

 

Everyone hates the injury for Tre personally and the team, but realistically Coach will have this defense playing at a high level.

Tre is the heart of this team. Just beloved. Guys needs to rally. Elam needs to step in like we know he can.

Mike Florio never said anything about the Tre White injury a little bit ago when he was on football night in America. Usually he will point out guys that will be out for the season or miss significant time. I don't know if he forgot to report it but I kinda hoping that could mean a small chance of good news for him. Although unlikely 

 

He said they are running tests tomorrow and the Bills think he ruptured his Achilles

There was a report he had an MRI at the stadium during the game. I feel like they should know by now 

[Jerome007]

Damn it put a damper on this AWESOME win for me. Seeing both corners go down wasn't fun to begin with, but a season ending maybe career ending injury to a guy that fought so hard to come back, that's tough. Both non contact injuries too...

They knew 5 hours ago when Tre was lying on the field. Someone correct me if I am wrong, I am not doctor, but I think a torn Achilles is something you can basically diagnosis immediately. MRI just "confirms" it. 

[Shemp]

SMH. Poor Tre.

[Scott7975]

this was during the game so I dunno but it's probably true.

Or Poona Ford??  They've been keeping him active the past two Sundays over Ford so could see it going that way too.

Speaking from experience I tore mind almost 30 years ago, 6 months after Marino tore his and recalled him talking about it in a press conference how when it happened he turned around as thought some one kicked him in the back of his ankle.  That was exactly how I felt so based on Marino's comments I told the people I was with, I think I just tore my Achilles and they all thought I was crazy.  2 hours later at the ER confirmed it.

 

So yes would agree you likely know it right away.  A simple test is laying down with legs out and doctor places his hand against your foot and tell you to push or pull.  When it's torn you can't.

[Strethor]

Losing leadership, losing a fighter on the defensive side. Just because Tre was a little slower post-acl doesnt mean he's a nobody. He has been playing good. Hope for the best

Kingsley won’t clear waivers. Waive a depth OL or LB

minor complaint but I think Ford should be in the rotation above Tim Settle

Agree. settle has surprisingly been a little disappointing. Expected a lot more from that signing.

I agree with all of this save for the final statement, which I'd probably leave for the trade deadline. Even then I'm not sure they do it.

 

But folks are absolutely downplaying Tre's quality.

Agree another option, could go that way. They seem to like Kingsley

Funny, I was thinking earlier in the game when Tre had a well-timed blitz on Tua how some guys just have that awareness on the field (much like several guys on our D).  Definitely will hurt not having him out there, these guys will need to overcome

this piece of adversity.
