Guest dog14787 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 TE is going to help the Jaguars not only this Sunday against the Bills, but also going into the future. Trent Edwards (thanks to Gailey) now has a good understanding of how certain plays set up other plays. Just because Trent never received good enough protection in Buffalo to use the information on the football field doesn't mean Trent Edwards won't put the knowledge to work helping another football team. Releasing Trent Edwards the way the Bills did is one of the worse, most unprofessional moves I've ever seen this or any organization make. TE wasn't a trouble maker, a cancer in the locker room, or a player who lacked motivation, just the opposite. Trent Edwards is a goal oriented individual with one thing in mind,to win a Championship. The Buffalo Bills deserve to have Trent Edwards and the Jaguars come into Buffalo and kick our ass and it might not be Trent on the football field , but you can bet Trent Edwards played a role in our teams demise on Sunday. The way I look at it now, Trent Edwards is just helping us move one step closer to the first pick overall in the draft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyd19 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/article212821.ece Chan Gailey: "He can give them a few of our calls and he can give them a few of our signals, probably. <...> He can tell them a little bit of the protection situations that we've got and what some issues might be with that. " He was the starter. Wouldn't he be expected to know more than "a few" calls and "a few" signals and "a few" protection situations? Seems to me either Gailey is talking very lame -- grossly underestimating the impact of essentially having your starting QB playing for the other team Or Edwards was worse than we knew -- wouldn't you expect a starting QB to have mastery of the entire offensive playbook, all of the signals, all of the calls, all of the protections, 100%, shake him awake at 2 am and he could explain, roll over, and go back to sleep? Football players amoungst us -- what's usual and typical here to expect of the QB? A few, or the whole enchilada? It makes sense because I am sure Gailey and the coaching staff are working to change and alter the calls and terminology for this game. But to overhaul everything would not make sense (they have been working on this since OTA's), so they will tweak it. Hence, Trent will be able to pick up on some things and general protection philosophy, but the terminology will be altered as to not allow them to pick up on everything. So what he is saying makes complete sense to me. We did this in High School when we played our rival. Our head coach's old assistant was the new head coach at our rival school. The week of the game we changed our calls and terminology. Sure enough first play of the game, where we altered the terminology, the defense shifted completely to one side of the field in anticipation of the "picked up' call. The play was completely different and went for 6. We won 38-22. So I know if it happens at a high school level, it happens at the professional level as well.... to some extent.

Well he certainly started us down the road to the #1 overall pick by absolutely sucking it up in game 1 and 2. If we lose come Sunday it will be because MJD ran for 215 yards and 3 touchdowns.

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 If Trent comes in and passes for 300+ yards and engineers a late game winning TD drive, I will chew both of my own feet off. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Trent plays this Sunday and we break both of his vaginas, one of which has to be amputated. You should leave this board and join Jacksonvilles, and cover yourself with a tarp, twirp.

MRW Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 They always say, you can tell the opposing team the exact play...but if you execute the way you're supposed to execute, they still can't stop it. We are so, so screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonestake Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Since Trent never audibled, would he even know those calls? Plus, I could see his debriefing sessions with Del Rio going something like this: Edwards: "Okay, this next play is Steve Johnson running a 6-yard hitch on the right, with the tailback leaking out to the left flat." Del Rio: "What does Lee Evans do on the play?" Edwards: "Who the hell is Lee Evans?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well then. (We're screwed) This is a funny thread I figured he just went to kinkos on the way out of town What's that you say? Whaa? What's that? He just went kinky on the way out of town? Now I have a visual. Waaaaaaaay TMI. We are so, so screwed. Brudda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I'm hoping Garrard hits his hand on a defenders helmet. Nothing serious but enough to put Trent in. If I were Chan I'd call a jailbreak blitz every down and watch the urine run down Trent's leg. PTR Trent won the job against BUFFALO'S DEFENSE...it was against others that he struggled... ...so I would be careful of what we wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog, this guy dragged the Bills down to his level since he was drafted. Now that he is on another team I will damn his very existence. If you want to cheer for him, that's OK by me, but not when it comes to playing the Bills. Your previous post makes you a Trent fan, not a Bills fan.

Geno Smith's Arm Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Edwards will tell them to cover the running backs on pass plays. He will tell his new coach, "this play is a checkdown" on pretty much all passing plays. He was the guy turning every play into a checkdown. I think people are overrating his ability to help JAX. What's he going to tell them "Pick on Green, he is terrible"? Anyone watching some film of the Bills will know the weak links (if they can keep track of all of them) and strengths. He knows what plays they like to use in certain situations, but they don't have to be predictable. The Bills biggest enemy, no matter who they play, is themselves.

wonderbread Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 ...IF Jones-Drew is held under 100 yards and 2 TDs. Which he won't be. If Jones Drew doesn't get 100 yards I'll grow a Tom Brady haircut. The way I look at it now, Trent Edwards is just helping us move one step closer to the first pick overall in the draft... Tsk tsk dog. He called you a ball-licker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
