Anyone else concerned about our OL injuries?

[WG]

When I hear names like Carman and Farris, I start to get worried!

Is it just me...?

[JefftheBillsfan]

as long as the injuries aren't serious. besides...everyone says farris really blows...but IMO he did an OK job last year before he got hurt.

[WG]

I mighta missed it...

[WG]

Besides, the question is can he stay healthy? His entire career has been an injury. He makes RJ look like Cal Ripken!

lol....true...not funny...yet i laugh...

I think if these injuries were midseason, you wouldn't hear names like Carman and Farris being inserted into the starting lineup - Conaty were more likely be inserted into the lineup and TT moved to LT. Because its preseason where the scores don't count and they're trying to get people used to where they'll end up playing, I don't think they want to move starters around to different positions on the line so they can get all the reps at their main position. Come the regular season though, they'll have no problems moving starters around in case of injury.

Good point...

Trouble is brewing. Yep, its only preseason but if those are the guys starting and we still can't establish a run game?? 3 more games to solidify or Drew will be like the old #11 - I don't want to see him on his a$$ all year long unless its because he dove into the endzone for a score!

the jennings injury is a big blow.we need him to stay.what's the latest on his injury?

[TigerJ]

Yeah, it's deja vu all over again isn't it. Mike Williams was held out of practice this morning, but that seems to be precautionary. He twisted his knee yesterday, but continued to practice. I haven't heard anything about how M. Price and Jennings are doing. It would be nice if the Bills would issue an update.

It would be nice if our training camp reporter would report. It would be nice if people who went to the game would report.

I get nervous when I hear Ostrowski and Conaty, let alone Farris and Carman.

Wys - makes RJ look like Cal Ripken - lmao!

For now the injuries don't appear to be threatening an intact line for the season opener (JO is the only maybe to miss it at this time). We also have the ability to juggle positions if we have to so unless more guys go down we should still be able to field an above average line to start the season.

TD and GW have made the line an absolute top priority once Drew came on board so I'm confident they're prepared and will be able to piece something good together.

Sprains heal slowly the first week, then pick up speed around the second week. I'd say that JJ will be out for about 3 weeks and at 100% in 4. Hopefully they get all the tough injuries up an out of the way for the season. Unfortunately, the line needs this practice time to develop rapport and timing with one another. I'm afraid that the OL may face some small problems at the opener(offsides, blown plays, a couple sacks etc.).

OL injuries do concern me, but I'd rather it happen now than in October. As long as nothing is serious, I won't panic.
