PromoTheRobot Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Joe B's thoughts: http://www.wgr550.co...i-camp/16322520 Just scanning the article to see what jumps out at me... EJ Manuel..."Manuel was high or behind on some of his throws during this drill." Robert Woods..."He dropped a pair of passes" Kiko Alonso..."sound like a terrible problem" Marquise Goodwin..."His biggest enemy during the minicamp was his concentration" Da'Rick Rogers..."he lacks...the burst in and out of his breaks." Dustin Hopkins..."never really a threat to Rian Lindell's job" I've read enough. We're DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEDDDD! PTR Edited May 13, 2013 by PromoTheRobot
3rdand12 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) To echo what others have said, it sounds like Bob Woods might be a guy that can help the team right away. Looking forward to watching his career as a Buffalo Bill. I can see that.An immediate upgrade/threat is Woods i am guessing. Stevie must be delighted and who ever is chucking the ball even moreso. And more importantly , demand respect from defenses ? The whole game changes for the Bills if we can actually throw the ball anywhere and have some youngsters who will catch and run. Kind of exciting for Nate i bet. I would be kickin' the stall as a player looking forward to what this coaching staff is doing to improve the future of the organisation. Could we become relevant again ? Edited May 12, 2013 by 3rdand12

3rdand12 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Throw-in the threat of a running QB and it opens things up even more. Toss in CJ plus Fred = good fun. and an ever expanding play book i bet.Let the party begin
The Wiz Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) day 3: http://www.buffalobi...42-73e14ed38606 Stick a fork in EJ. 2 picks in a row. Kaufman is looking like a diamond in the rough every day though. Edited May 13, 2013 by The Wiz

FluffHead Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 So what I'm getting from this thread is its OK to talk up every single player that makes a play in practice but don't you dare express concern over any mistakes.

Kaufman is looking like a diamond in the rough every day though. Look at Donnie Henderson getting his guys ready to go, I love it. Does Duke Williams start at SS?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 So what I'm getting from this thread is its OK to talk up every single player that makes a play in practice but don't you dare express concern over any mistakes. Can you show examples of posts where this happened? I recall Dorkington or someone making an erroneous statement about EJ lacking accuracy, a claim that has been conclusively debunked numerous times. That's the only critical statement I recall and it was civilly corrected. What exactly are you sulking about? Is there something wrong with us being excited about the Bills rookies working out in pads? If you've got something to say, say it. Don't sulk like a kid. Legitimate criticisms are always welcomed.
Fixxxer Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Look at Donnie Henderson getting his guys ready to go, I love it. Does Duke Williams start at SS? I don't see it. I think Searcy will win the job and be big part of the defense.

I didn't state he was inaccurate, but rather I was concerned about what I read. Big difference. Day 3, still concerned, but still hopeful.
yungmack Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I didn't state he was inaccurate, but rather I was concerned about what I read. Big difference. Day 3, still concerned, but still hopeful. Let's see: after practice number, you were already concerned about his accoracy? And after 3, you're still concerned but less so? Before you gave yourself agita, did you take into account that he hasn't been on the field with a team in months? Or that he is throwing to completely unknown receivers? Or that this is a brand new system? I think I would wait just a wee bit longer before writing him off.
ajzepp Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Given that EJ is having his footwork adjusted, he's going to be off a bit on his passes until he adjusts. Nothing to worry about here...
eball Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I really shouldn't be making any predictions based upon watching three 4-minute highlight videos of guys running around in shorts...but that said, it would not surprise me to see Tuel hang around and make the final 53 as the 3rd QB.
Dorkington Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I love that "concerned" equals some sort sort of extreme emotion to you guys. Also, when did I write him off? Other than my mocking "bust" statement after you guys overreacted to my original post. Seriously folks, calm down. I really shouldn't be making any predictions based upon watching three 4-minute highlight videos of guys running around in shorts...but that said, it would not surprise me to see Tuel hang around and make the final 53 as the 3rd QB. Logically speaking, it makes more sense to keep him, than both Kolb and TJax.
The Wiz Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Given that EJ is having his footwork adjusted, he's going to be off a bit on his passes until he adjusts. Nothing to worry about here... Sincerely, R. Fitzpatrick Couldn't resist. He's going to be up and down for a little bit I'm sure while adjusting but I'm not really making a claim one way or the other. Just hope it works out.

NickelCity Posted May 13, 2013 Author Posted May 13, 2013 Thanks NickelCity!! No worries amigo! I can't wait for this season to start. I don't think I've ever been so excited to watch a Rookie Minicamp.
NickelCity Posted May 13, 2013 Author Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) http://www.buffalobi...45-b096571dd06f EDIT: Oops, foolishly assumed "EJ Manuel hits the field" would be footage of many of his plays over the weekend. The above link is Chris Brown talking about EJ on some show. Edited May 13, 2013 by NickelCity

Why not? Trot his @ss out whenever we're up four touchdowns, with three minutes to go in the fourth... Let him run the clock out, and we'll call that "Tuel Time". -Everyone will LOVE IT. It also protects our starting QB from cheap shots. -Puh-layoffs B!tches! Edited May 14, 2013 by #34fan
