Traina comments on red jerseys

Matt123 : 5/20/2022 6:54 pm
Not sure this means alot, but I watched the beginning of Patricia Traina's podcast following yesterday's OTA.

She said that red jerseys for players coming back from some sort of injury is new under Daboll vs the last 2 coaches, and claimed that this resulted in the players doing certain drills on the field, rather than spending the day on the sideline with the trainers. (And ultimately that this will keep their skills from getting rusty.)

Not sure if that's true. But hopefully they are actually working towards starting the season ready to actually play instead of treating September as a virtual preseason.

Given our inj history

I'm ok with it.
The Bills have been very progressive in their thinking about injuries  
Ben in Tampa : 5/20/2022 6:58 pm : link

I think Daboll will bring a lot of that to New York

Keeps them "in" the practice rather than standing on the sideline looking at the sky.

Shepard and Toney has red jerseys on and were photographed doing some type of drill.

It's probably true to a degree.

I'm not sure if this is in response to my original post. I wasn't saying there's a mystery, was pointing out Traina's claim that the injured players are getting more/better practice time compared to the previous regimes.

The red jersey has traditionally meant that other players are to be particularly careful not to contact the recovering injured player. Given that heavy contact is not allowed in OTA's, this is simply another layer of protection.

Daboll said that the players wearing red would vary from little activity to being more involved, depending on their particular situation.

The red jerseys have been around for quite some time.
Treating September like the preseason  
Gman11 : 5/21/2022 7:19 am : link
was a quote from Judge that really pissed me off. It isn't the preseason. These games count. You only get 17 of them. It's not like baseball where you have 162 or even basketball and hockey. 17. You lose those games because you're still trying to figure out what the hell is going on then your chances of contending are out the window.
Toney...do we know specifically what injury  
Gjfro : 5/21/2022 7:35 am : link
he is recovering from?
Didn't Beal get about $3 million for about 3 plays in actual games?

I may be exaggerating a little.

We don't know anything about any of the red jersey guys other than you connect the dots on the obvious ones (Gates, Peart, etc.).

We don't know why guys like Roche, Golladay, Toney, Douglas, Brown, etc.).

guy who is not getting enough attention is Rodarius Williams. Cross your fingers that (1) he is recovering well, and (2) his injury isn't going to impact his speed/quickness moving forward. He's a pretty important guy right now given the state of the secondary.

This year is slightly more important. Install new offense and defense.

It's astounding that people say things like this when the head coach says the opposite.

It's like hiring a plumber and then proceeding to tell him how to do his job.
Jimmy was being facetious.

This is something I have Ben wondering about as well, haven’t seen anything reported on Williams but he looked like a real find before the injury. Your 100% right that his health will be huge part of have some solid DB depth, really rooting that he comes back strong.

100%. Lose some winnable games early on and it spirals. Golladay saying publicly that the offense would start slow because they haven't had time to gel was a bad sign.
