'As mentioned, EJ Manuel was at his best on 1st down passes. His 98 passer rating in weeks 1-3 on first and 10 ranked him behind (primarily) future hall of fame quarterbacks. Manuel was out-dueling most of the league on 1st down. And he was passing on 45% of these 1st down plays (NFL average was 46%). But in weeks 4 and 5, Marrone called 9 passes and 36 runs on 1st downs. That's 20% passes and 80% runs!'
