Willis?

[Marino13Phins]

You guys are out of the playoffs, why hasn't he been given some time to get some work in?

[OpIv37]

keep him off the field- no sense re-aggrivating the injury and having a draft pick wasted.

We're all curious to see what he can do, but it's probably a bad idea to rush it.

[Marino13Phins]

All I have been hearing is that he is back to full stregth, isn't he practicing at full speed?

In a game that doesnt mean anything, I don't want to risk his knee. Besides, maybe his cap value goes down or something if he doesnt play?

Last I heard he was. I believe he was on the roster going up to the Jets and Titans games, and both times he was deactivated at the last minute (correct me if I'm mistaken on this).

I can see both arguments- trying to keep him healthy vs getting NFL experience- not to mention the Bills O needs all the help it can get.

I mean I wouldn't want the guy to get hurt either, but he should get the feel for the game, the action so he has a good idea of what to expect next year.

a player with this injury or similar aren't 100% in under one year.take note to j.lewis and e.james who weren't the same the following year after their injuries.there's no sense in rushing him.

[OpIv37]

not that having him in the game would matter all that much. With Gilbride calling the shots he'd be lucky to get 2 carries

Maybe Drew should put his jersey on GW's desk this week and have Willis dress in his place.

;-p

Jamal Lewis and Edgerrin James are perfect examples of why I think he should come back.

The longest part of the recovery is the mental aspect and becoming fearless and confident again. Lewis and James were 100% back physically long before they were 100% mentally.

The doctors and everyone have already cleared McGahee to play. The longer we keep him off the field, the longer we're delaying his complete recovery.

Not with 3 backups making up the O Line.

I would like to see him out there. Not full time. As a decoy at least. Catching a screen pass at least.

Then why should we play Henry, Drew, Moulds, Morris, or anyone else?

All of the above named players have had rather serious injuries and have all been cleared to play by doctors.

They said during Sunday NFL Countdown yesterday that he will not play this year per Ralph's request. Apparently Willis tweaked his hammy at some point, so Ralph requested that they not play him til next year.

[Marino13Phins]

I don't thinkt he pats are going to use many starters are they? Don't they have home field wrapped up?

I say start him, as someone mentioned earlier the mental aspect is a big part. When James and Lewis came back, they were afraid to make hard cuts, and use the quick moves they banked their running on before.
