The other factor would be we think it would help us get an idea of this Buffalo offense." So they are scared of our offense and need Trent to tell all our secrets. I cant wait until next week when Fitz and the rbs tear things up!!!!
The Senator Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 It's a pretty sleazy move by New Jersey's blowbag of a head coach, who did the same thing last season the week before the Jets played NE* - Jets may have upper hand over Patriots because of backup Kevin O'Connell (and New Jersey ended up winning that one 16-9) I think it's hysterical, though, that the only two teams that put a claim on Edwards just happen to be our next two opponents. After that, Trent gets a week off - then heads to B-more for a week, then KC...man, dude's gonna rack up some FF miles!
Like A Mofo Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 They really need to being someone in to get an idea of the Bills offense?
Buffalo Billy Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Trent should thank Chan. Do you think teams would have been lining up to steal players with knowledge of -Jauron's- offense? Its weird, we're considered to be worse than ever, but more relevant...
DC Tom Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 The other factor would be we think it would help us get an idea of this Buffalo offense. Maybe the Bills should sign him.
The Senator Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Trent knows our offense - couldn't execute it for sh_t, but knows the playbook - which is what Ryan wanted, because Fitz can execute.
LGB Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 Trent knows our offense - couldn't execute it for sh_t, but knows the playbook - which is what Ryan wanted, because Fitz can execute. yea, I wonder if TE made a copy of his QB wristband...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 With the league the way it is now... I always wondered if it would be possible to have 16 different offenses... You know for 16 different games.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Maybe the Bills should sign him. This post KILLED me.
bobinaz Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 You don't think we did it when Lawyer Millow was brought in a week before the season opener with the Patriots? With the way the Jags are struggling, I'm sure they have Edwards head under a microscope.
ektin Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Trent is probably talking to the Jaguars right now giving away all the offensive secrets. "They only throw 5 yard passes!!!"
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Maybe the Bills should sign him. :w00t:
cvanvol Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 i wish the jets would have gotten him we would probably have a better chance of winning
Ozymandius Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Not surprising. Not immoral. These teams are in competition afterall and I would hope the Bills would try to do something similar. In industry, companies try to sign each other's talent all the time. Maybe NFL franchises should begin using non-disclosure agreements with their players and coaches but that is probably unrealistic for many reasons.
evilbuffalobob Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Quite frankly, there should be a NFL rule blocking signings of cut/waived/released players to the next team, two or three up on the cutting/waiving/releasing teams schedule. OR... the signing team should be impossed with a mandatory 2-yr contract to sign that player. We can't have fatholes like Rex and Mr. Personality signing dudes just for the info.
Mr Info Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 i wish the jets would have gotten him we would probably have a better chance of winning Outstanding!!!
The Wiz Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 "It would have been two factors. We think he can play quarterback in this league. The other factor would be we think it would help us get an idea of this Buffalo offense." Well this is actually only one factor because we all know he never knew the offense.
truth on hold Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I dont have a problem in general with Jets doing this ... unless they were just going to toss him to the wind after the game and not really give him a chance. That's selfishy messing with the guy's career. Otherwise if the Jets pulled it off, the blame really should fall on the Bills for releasing him the week of an upcoming division game.
reddogblitz Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I don't see this as sleazy at all. It's a strategy as old as the NFL, or as old as me at least. I can remember HOF coaches Tom Landry and George Allen doing this in the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, I always though Jauron was a moron for not picking up some guy cut by our first opponent. That's the way Tom Landry always did it. Even if it "messed with Trent's career" I'm sure he would be compensated nicely for it.
