That's fair. I just looked up his numbers http://pickingpros.com/nfl/quarterback-rushing-leaders.php I didn't realize they were that high. Watching the games it doesn't seem that he is running the ball that much but he is. Surprising numbers from Alex Smith as well. I always forget Terrelle Pryor even exists. I don't know why

Is that a Dick Jauron sighting at the end of the video?

Would you swap EJ for Manziel right now?
Mango replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's people like the ones you describe that make me think that Bills fans don't deserve nice things. Not an EJ defender, although an easy guy to root for. But the guy played 10 NFL games, and the people with pitch forks running him out of town are incredible. Patience, and the answer will be clear on what the next step is. At that point pick up your pitch forks, but we seem to run anybody/everybody who could develop into something out of the city before they get a chance. The sky is not falling. News flash, Russel Wilson is slightly above average and is carried by the other two phases of his team, and the last time Andrew Luck came out of the draft, his name was Peyton Manning. Finding a HOF QB is hard/almost impossible. -
There is a huuuuuuuuuge difference between an elusive QB and what Manziel does, possibly labeled mobile. While a mobile QB is always elusive, elusive QB's aren't even close to always mobile. This is the crux of the argument. Of course avoiding pressure results in more injuries, but being hyper-mobile will result in more. Rothlisberger is actually elusive, not necassarily mobile in that he isn't a take off and run guy, he just buys time. Brees, Rodgers, and Wilson fall into the same category. Although they both can and will, it is opportunistic, not a natural playing style. Within the pocket Brady is one of the most elusive in the NFL. He has a keen ability to sense pressure, and merely side step it. Cam Newton does not play an elusive style, he is mobile, huge difference. He takes off and runs, regularly. Difference with Cam is he is built like almost like a DE or LB. We will see how this treats him down the stretch of his career. Mike Vick is paying for his playing style later in his career, and he even got a reprieve from the NFL for a few years, and still can't hold up. Kaep lands here too. This popular new breed in QB may not last, this is the first time we are seeing such size in mobility in larger numbers at the position. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. The sack rate for QB's is pretty sprawled based on playing style, not a huge favor to either. So if all QBs get sacked at an equal rate regardless of pressure, the mobile QB is setting himself up for a minimum of lets say (guessing) 3 hits per game, 48 per season. So yes their rate of injury will be far greater.

A few takes from the game/preseason so far
Mango replied to BADOLBILZ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wade Phillips and Gregg Williams most likely the top two D coordinators in the league. I know Dick Lebeau, will get mentioned. hence I said arguably. That said, if one of the top guys at his job, say top 2 or 3 at what he does in the league. Why would you grab say the 6th best guy? The HC's rely on wins, something Fisher doesn't have many of. Comparing Schwartz to Williams isn't fair at all. That's like saying, Ben Rothlisberger isn't any good because a team signed Tom Brady instead -
every play behind center in the cleveland game was a perfect example of why we should never want to see this guy in a real game. this could catch on like 40 year virgin and, "you know how i know your'e gay?"

Mango replied to BADOLBILZ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Fred also did a terrible job at getting low by the way. He hit the hole pretty hi. They were begging for a read option on both 3rd and 4th down. Also putting one WR would have atleast given a little hesitance that we might throw. DIdn't think there was a need for 2 jumbo packages in a row EDIT: referring to going for it on the goal line -
A few takes from the game/preseason so far
Mango replied to BADOLBILZ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
on one of Andersons runs for a 1st, I think it was his second, and came on a third and mid to long. Hughes set the edge just fine. The LT got way outside the numbers and had a pretty blatant hold. Hughes makes that play without the hold easy. he was right there. -
i thought his highlight might have been an incomplete pass. chandler was in really tight coverage, manuel laid the ball out just before he came out of the break where only chandler could catch it. should have been a completion. i think it is just a timing issue since scotty hasnt been around much in tc
-
very much like whaley, very happy with schwartz thus far, cautious on marrone, not optimistic about hackett, hate crossman. please don't keep a kickoff specialist with our lack of depth all over the roster and the rash of injuries we seem to incur each year

Illegal contact; bad calls; We're doomed!
Mango replied to Clippers of Nfl's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seattle pissed in the punch bowl and ruined the party for everybody. I thought both calls today were a bit ticky tacky. I was watching the WAS v NE game, and there was a garbage call on NE that was the same. I don't like it, but as long as they're consistent across the board, I will be ok. It sucks -
Should the New Ownership Fire GM and Coaches?
Mango replied to jethro_tull's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If the defense remains the same, or improves, Marrone's replacement is already on the roster. Jim Schwartz. Great hire for Marrone, good assistants make the HC look better with better results. His marriage/gamble to Hackett could be his demise. im convinced youre a troll -
He has 12 career TD runs, 755 yards per year, in the 61 games played, that is only 49.5 yards per game. Yup top 10. He totally deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence of as AP and Jamaal Charles too! Delusional.

"It wasn't his turn" -Chan Gailey

agreed well thrown after the break. poor timing from both the QB and TE. If Chandler didn't miss a bit of camp, that's a conversion. At first I thought it was a drop until the replay

Would you swap EJ for Fitz right now?
Mango replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Oh god, is this really happening. Tebow is terrible, almost embarrassingly bad at the QB position. Tremendous football player, terrible QB this is sarcasm right? what is there to suggest this? if anything the response could be, there isn't enough data to see if Hackett knows what he is doing, good or bad. but keys to the castle? one year? terrible offense and play calling? -
My guess is if it wasn't trump, it was almost always Pegula. He is a close family friend of Pegula's other half/business partner in the oil business.

Training Camp tweets & media reports, week 3
Mango replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
a few things about the recap. why are we running reverses, counters, or jets with Hogan. I understood his snap count early on, but this might be the final push i need to seriously start questioning the staff with moves like this. We have CJ, and Sammy, those two are the ones that get those plays. Hell even Mike Williams. It just seems so forced. I also noticed, at least on yesterday, our stable of RB's seem to be more productive than CJ at camp. He just seems to keep getting stuffed. I wish we would get him in space. Maybe run the ball out of a 4-5 wide set, even having EJ under center. Nothing too crazy. Somebody noted the simplicity of the playbook. A few things with the, "just beat your man" school of thought. One we saw that on defense with Wanny, not sure why we are so accepting of it from Hackett. Two in all of the all 22 video last year, it seemed there were very few play calls, where the play isn't complicated, but with varying degrees of depth from the receivers, or receivers moving in opposite directions. This isn't a complicated task. The most mind blowing play call last year was 3rd and 1, with 4 wide, we run 4 effing go routes. Christ. Manuel needs to step up, but we need an NFL caliber OC. If Hackett were let go this offseason, he wouldn't be offered any HC position of a top 25 program, I think that says a lot. -

It was more than that. Every time Trentative touched his helmet it was a run, regardless of motion. -

Ellis Lankster- Didn't he return to int's for td's in a preseason game. Another similar era- Justin Armor Another one I left out. Fast Freddie Smith. Killer pre-season KR -
Buffalo is winning the AFC East Division this year.
Mango replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
you failed to mention the most important part of the division. THE PATS! if the jets will be tough for us and the phins no walk in the park, what are your thoughts on those two games versus NE -
LaCanfora: bills may be willing to deal Spiller before season
Mango replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Given our very serious concerns at OL, I am for it if we can grab a more than quality starting linemen. Nobody can run or pass behind this. The running game will be better if we can get some solid blocking. No matter who is running behind this, it will be garbage. Mind you I am not for losing talent. I am against this for anything other than a really good young OL, even then I cringe a little, but at least get it -
How many times do you want to see EJ pass per game?
Mango replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I really think this OL has been falsely heralded for too long now. Glenn and Wood are good. Urbik can get hot, to the point where he is our best OL at times. However, Gailey negated how terrible this line was by stretching the sidelines. Our pass protection is terrible, and we seem to magnify our deficiencies by running a bunch of bunch sets. Gailey made this OL look average-ish, and now we seem to be making excuses for them. We lead the league in rushing yards last year, but also ran the ball about 40 carries more than any other team in the league. We were almost right on average with yards per carry. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/rushing/sort/yardsPerRushAttempt Our QB carousel was also the 10th most hit in the league last year http://wp.advancedfootballanalytics.com/teamOL.php OL is by far our largest issue currently
