Does anyone remember when Tre started practicing again? Im still worried Von won't be nearly as impactful, but that seems like a common worry for any player coming of an ACL tear.

I think there are two big differences: Von has done this before, and he can be rotated into the lineup easier. With Tre, the mental aspect of it I think really hindered him, that won't be the case with Von.

Also a lot more cutting and change of direction for a CB so much harder to come back

He had 14 sacks the year after he tore it in 2013. Obviously he was 10 years younger, but the dude is an anomaly.

CB is very different than DE.

yeah plus Von was pushing for non PUP, he'd been on the field a lot putting in the work, I'm sure he's been ramping it up last 4 weeks.

I agree…

im not sure on thefundamental differences innthe injuries beyond it being knee injuries.

inna pass rushing role van is generally running in one direction And not doing the cutting a CB woukd do

if he’s back he’s going have play limits to start.

especially with the DL rotation we are throwing at teams…. yeah, i’m not worried about Von. he’s just a thick layer of icing on an already delicious cake. the depth we have is truly unmatched league wide

 

[K8fool]

If Von is back in games by week 8 , confident by week twelve in key situations . He may help as a tresh rusher at a key time as he has learned to trust his knee where tre took 18 months. He may only rush around of certain moves til he's comfortable. Hopefully every is more patient than they've been w tre. The only games that matter are 18th and beyond.

Today is going to be a reality check….for the dolphins!

They ran up the score against the winless broncos who gave up. They had 17 points well into the 4th quarter the week before against the patriots. And it took a comeback against the loser Chargers. Their opponents have a total of two wins. Miami’s two winds against the bills the last four years were the games where our te (clay or whatever) dropped the winning TD and then the heat game where we dominated (our backups even dominated) but it took a million injuries for the dolphins to squeak by us.

The dolphins offense was unimpressive against the bills last year. Allen owns them. The bills own them.

Congrats dolphins on your September awards! But the bills will remind them how meaningless that is today

Yup. Im expecting a win. Just get some hits on Tua, and he'll get anxious.

There's still a good chance Buffalo loses. The Dolphins are a good team. Any given Sunday and all that. Even if we lose, we'll be underdogs, which doesn't bother me at all. I want them playing their best football in January!

The Toy Story game is unique, and a nice novelty and a nice way to show the game to people who don’t normally watch it but I was over it after 2 plays and went to the normal broadcast.

 

[HOOats]

Got to meet OJ at Patrick's Rooftop Friday night. Proud that I resisted any of the 100 Norm OJ jokes I have memorized. Nice guy honestly lol.

Go Bills. Very nervous about the result, but hoping we take it 31-27.

I’m loving it. Not for every game but it would be especially great for a way to make otherwise unwatchably bad games fun. Get broncos/bears on here stat!

 

[Waterfowlist]

I’m way too anxious for a week 4 matchup.

Elam healthy scratch again

Not that I’m trying to look past this week but watching Jacksonville in London this week, I definitely think that them being able to stay in London and have so much more time to adjust to the time is going to be a big advantage for them.

I was thinking that this morning too. Seems a little bit unfair from a competitive advantage standpoint for them to get two straight in London. Especially with the 2nd one being a "road game"

Oh it’s so dumb. We have to travel to a different continent to play a home game against a team that’s been staying there

ESPN just talked about Bills Dolphins for 15 minutes without mentioning a Bill by name. Stunning.

Edit: I take it back, they mentioned Jordan Poyer and Damar Hamlin.

Lol an injured guy and a guy who's likely to only play on special teams if things go right (ie no injuries).

Never change, ESPN. Buffalo's become the team to shit on and "a team on the downfall" at this point in the media.

Reminds me of how the media completely invented a narrative for the USC-Colorado game (that it was a "moral victory" for Colorado and how they "stayed with" and "had a chance to win the game" against USC when the reality is they scored 3 garbage time touchdowns and didn't touch the ball with a chance to tie the game since 7-0 in the 1st quarter.

Elam healthy scratch again

The fact that Elam can't get on the field ahead of Cam Lewis in a week where his positional versatility is less important (with Hamlin being active) is damning. Yes, Lewis is a strong special teams player, but given the quality of the passing game we're playing against, Elam should have been able to force his way onto the active roster with Hamlin covering the ST duties.

I expect them to keep Elam for the depth this season, but he'll be gone in the offseason.
