T master Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Well if you read into his statement on Rogers it almost sounds as if he will be on the team this year one way or another ...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Stop cutting Brad Smith. The guy is a ST beast and (unlike previous WRs kept on the roster just for ST) is actually playable at the WR position. This dude is going to be cut every week on here until he retires, much like kelsay.
BobbyC81 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I don't see that happening. The guy drew interest from nearly half the teams in the league. He'd have to look terrible during camp and preseason, and if that's the case they'd just cut him. There's also the mysterious injury that appears at the end of the preseason and puts him on IR.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 There's also the mysterious injury that appears at the end of the preseason and puts him on IR. Interesting thought
jaybee Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Great thread. I actually added a signature line to profile......... Because of this darn thread !! LOL !
Zomb_12 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Strange that he doesn't see Rogers contributing much this season. Seems like he did well in the ota's and they haven't even put pads on yet.
FluffHead Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 There's also the mysterious injury that appears at the end of the preseason and puts him on IR. The downside to this is he doesn't get to practice with the team all year. Hopefully he plays well and finds a role. If not I think you keep him as the 6th WR and he's inactive if he can't play special teams, but at least he can practice all year. Hell they found a roster spot for John Potter last season.
chris heff Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 This dude is going to be cut every week on here until he retires, much like kelsay. Made me laugh.
The Voice of Truth Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 It seems wierd to me that he would talk this candidly. Fishy.
Malazan Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 This dude is going to be cut every week on here until he retires, much like kelsay. If the Bills would cut everyone then we wouldn't have to complain about these suck players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chef Jim Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I was at a fundraiser in the Bronx this past weekend and DOug Marone was hanging out talking shop. If you weren't a Bills fan you would have not even noticed he was there. A few things of note: He is going to use Spiller more this year (which we kind of already knew), he said Manuel is competing for the starting job and both have shined at times. He really admires Manuels leadership qualities as he's been working with the WR"s and contantly seeking veteran advice. He says Da'Rick Roger could be a good player in this league but he doesn't think he'll make and impact this year. He also said he thinks Woods and Alonso will be very good pro's. I'll told him I was from NYC but I go to every opening day he responded: "Oh, so you're going to the New England game?....It's gonna be a war!!!" Then he walked away. Fired up for opening day! So there are two QB's competing for the starting job and both have shined.......at times?? Ob boy can't wait.

Fired up for opening day! me, myself ,and i would come off as an idiot or a stalker fan in this situation you lucky dog. You did good. and thanks a ton for sharing. this guy is consistent with his message and tone. I dont care much about Rogers . But i sure as hell appreciate having this big fella Marrone running the show. I suspect with ups and downs we are in for a heck of a ride the next 3 years gents and ladies. Great post . And Ye Ole , the phrase you dog one of us ? Times ten with Coach Marrone i am feeling. I'm fired up too. darned tootin' Go Bills
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 It seems wierd to me that he would talk this candidly. Fishy. I disagree. I think what happened is that Marrone never considered that he was having a conversation with a Bills fan who happens to post regularly on the most viewed Bills message board.
DC Tom Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 "Oh, so you're going to the New England game?....It's gonna be a war!!!" Now I'm psyched...
BillsWatch Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 IT's GOING TO BE A WAR! I'm all in..... I think that is coach speak for get ready to harass visiting team in hotels with false fire alarms, noise makers, etc.
eball Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 So there are two QB's competing for the starting job and both have shined.......at times?? Ob boy can't wait. To be fair, why in the world would Marrone say anything to a fan about the QB situation that could tip his hand at this juncture? It's great that he went out of his way to praise Manuel. It seems wierd to me that he would talk this candidly. Fishy. What was so candid? Using Spiller more? Excited about his rookie QB? Cautiously optimistic about an UDFA WR?
ganesh Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Surprising to me that Marrone would be so open about his projection on Rogers (or any player). Rogers is an immature athlete. Marronne is not going to give him a free ride on the bus. Darrick would have to earn everything at OBD. And he should be thankful for this opportunity. Edited July 18, 2013 by ganesh
Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks for all the info!!! Wish you asked about Dustin Hopkins vs Lindell battle. I am very interested to see how serious he is about the possibility of going with Hopkins over Lindell Love his enthusiasm! CBF Edited July 18, 2013 by Canadian Bills Fan
HankBulloughMellencamp Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks, love the story and wish I had the chance to meet Coach Marrone and chew the fat in a setting like that. I have to admit that I have developed quite a man-crush on Marrone as our new leader, and stories such as this one only solidify my feelings a little more. I am sure part of it is the fact that we have been starving for a good coach since, well, I'd have to say Wade ... but I really like Marrone's no-nonsense/highly motivated way that he comes across. Is there a rookie-of-the-year award for head coaches? I choo-choo-choose him to win that if it exists. And I love what Lindell has done with his clutch old leg for us, but Dustin Hopkins will be our kicker this year.
