The loss of Poz

[HAMMER]

Are none of you as concerned about the loss of our defensive leader/QB as I am?

[Oldbillsfan]

Too bad better LB depth wasn't picked up in the off season. Plenty of CB's though.

[Mitchell55]

QB?

QB?

QB of the Defense.

This is starting to worry me because it seems like he cant stay healthy.

ts a broken bone... not a reoccuring knee or elbow injury... It will heal twice as strong as it was when it broke.

It is a significant loss. Buffalo is not very deep at middle linebacker. Marcus Buggs is a willing hitter, but at 5'11" and under 230 lbs he's going to get overpowered sometimes, and he's more of a liability in pass coverage than Poz.

Yeah but aint it in the same arm that he broke a bone in last year?

The Bills seem to have some odd obsession with filing roster spots with LB's who only play ST and couldn't contribute on the other 3 downs to save their soles.

Jon Corto case in point.

I wonder if Nick Harris can play middle linebacker. That would be nice considering he is our best backup linebacker.

Good thing they used that 2nd rd. pick this year on another safety. We really didn't need an o-tackle or another linebacker anyways.

[TacklingDummy]

bust due to injury.

Thats what i am saying. If it was a reoccuring break in the same spot we should be concerned but being it is a different injury i think it is just one of those circumstances you can apply "**** HAPPENS" too....

[T-Long]

There is no reason he can't play with a cast of some sort. He may have to because this is the 2nd year he's had this.

[shelby]

i am concerned.

The D got instantly worse the second he went out and we have no depth at LB. He looked like a beast in pre-season and in this game before the injury. Losing him will definitely hurt.

depends on the severity and location of the break- high impact activities with a broke bone is not exactly a wise choice. Also, it's not a very good idea for a LB to play with the "club"- too hard to wrap up on tackles.

[HHURRICANE]

The differnece between 6-10 and 4-12 so I'm not too worried.

[homeslice5484]

thats what happens....if this team had a good coach the backups would step in and perform. Does New England worry when they have an injury? Nope, cause they keep backups who can play on ST and on offense or defense and their coach expects them to step in.

I'm concerned. Poz was playin great before he hurt his arm. He was in on everything. It seemed pretty clear to me that he was 'ready' for the game last night. Like Op said, as soon as he went out, our defense began to soften up.

[Tatonka]

i dont think that there is any question that mitchell HAS to go to MLB
