Golden Wheels Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 From the reaction of the medical staff and the fact he was taken off on a cart, it looks like Schouman suffered a season-ending injury to his knee. Do the Bills do anything other than activating Stupar?
agilen Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Depends on Nelson's injury....hopefully it isn't serious.
Huuuge Bills Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 We still have fine, and Stupar like you mentioned. Depending on how severe his shoulder injury is, we should still have Nelson.

Do the Bills do anything other than activating Stupar? Looked to me like a broken leg. I missed what happended to Nelson... Thank GOD we have Derek Fine ans Stupar on our team or we would be lost....LOL Best thing to come of this may be more Parrish and (eating some crow here) Reed on the field.
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 One could only hope for the 6'8 Leonard Pope!
benjamin Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Not that I see these two going down to be a good thing, but I have to say, TE one of the few positions I feel that we have good depth on. And I agree that our midfield/underneath receiving corps (Roscoe, Reed, Johnson) may fill in too.
Ralonzo Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Dunno if I'd call it "good depth" but it's depth. There's a reason TE's are typically not drafted high unless you're a complete game-changer, there's simply truckfuls of cornfed dust bowl white boys who can catch everything and run... sorta, that can get plugged in and look mostly similar to one another. Like, say, Derek Fine and Derek Schouman and Jonathan Stupar. Nelson is the potential game-changer but still went in the 4th round because he's so raw.

But that's why I said 'good' and not 'great'! [if I were an emoticon type of person, I suppose I'd put some sort of 'wink' there.]
Fewell733 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Chris brown says we worked out these 3 guys friday: Joe Klopfenstein Leonard Pope Tony Curtis if Pope is in shape I like him best, then Klopfenstein. Pope looked really fat last year.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Pope was very highly rated out of college, I remember hoping that the Bills would draft the guy...but after seeing him play in the NFL, I'd rather pass on him and sign Klopfenstein.
billsfreak Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 My guess is if Schouman's injury is serious, and it appeared to be, they will bring someone in. They had a couple TE's in Buffalo working them out a couple days before yesterdays game, and that was before the injury. If they were considering bringing in another TE then, one would think they would think that even more now.
billsfreak Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Ouch: If he comes back quick from that, he is one flexible dude. Hurts to look at a pic of it.

Like, say, Derek Fine and Derek Schouman and Jonathan Stupar. Nelson is the potential game-changer but still went in the 4th round because he's so raw. So basically Schouman, Fine, and Stupar are all the same player because they are white, but Nelson is a game changer because he's not. Got it.
K-Gun10 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 We will bring stupar in and Nelson will start to break out with more time.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Folks seem to be underplaying Schouman's importance to the Bills offense. So far he has been Edwards #1 target. Maybe Fine, Nelson or Stupar will step up but Schouman's loss is major. PTR
