All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Re: Aaron Williams going through concussion protocol
Good Lord.
Aaron Williams was already skittish because of what happened with his neck last year. Even if he recovers from this physically, this will not help him play with confidence. That's his biggest obstacle.
Sucks.
On the other hand, this might help him to realize that his neck is fine. Can't tell.
Re: Aaron Williams going through concussion protocol
I dont think his confidence is his biggest obstacle. His neck is his biggest.
If the whole team goes down on a knee when you tackle somebody, that is not a good sign.
Aaron, please hang up your cleats. And I am saying that as a Bills fan who thinks that we are already paper-thin at Safety anyway.
Re: Aaron Williams going through concussion protocol
When he hurt is neck originally he never even got hit. If he's this susceptible its pretty obvious its over for him. We've got to stop banking on injury prone players.

When he originally got hurt, he did hit the turf with his head and that jammed his neck
Yesterday was just a hard collision between two guys on the field. It happens. He has a concussion.
Re: Aaron Williams going through concussion protocol
I liked aaron Williams as a player, and the profiles online about who he is as a person off the field makes him out to seem like a good guy. I wish this didn't look like the winding down of a career, but we've seen similar stories over the years with players around the nfl. they are good, they have an injury or two and then it keeps compounding. I don't think we can really expect to count on him for more than maybe half the season. safety is going to be a need next year.
Re: Aaron Williams going through concussion protocol
You know, I've commented before that the team isn't going to improve unless they practice. With the number of guys getting hurt, maybe I was wrong about that. Maybe we should just wrap them in bubble wrap until Sept 11 and go in cold but healthy.

Re: Aaron Williams going through concussion protocol
I've trained with fighters, and for them, it's always a difficult balance of training hard enough to be in shape and prepared for their opponent without training so hard that they get injured.
Most sports are similar. What I don't understand is that camp doesn't seem that strenuous compared to what it used to be before it was limited by the CBA and compared to what these guys go through during games, but guys are still dropping left and right.

I'm spent a small amount of time trying to find the daily lifting regime these guys go through. Linemen for instance may lift heavy three times a day starting in the wee hours until night, with football in between, eat over 6000 calories a day, its crazy. Now if you're entering a bodybuilding contest you may get away with it. But combining with the gruel of football, it's no wonder the knees are going left and right.
Lawson ripped his pec muscle lifting before camp, to get bigger. I'd rather have him functional.

Did you find anything on their stretching routine? People tend to gloss over the importance of it, especially younger people. And it's boring as ****. But it makes a huge difference in preventing injury.
