John Adams Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Manuel has looked a couple of rungs short of fine so far. It's preseason for Indy and a few other teams as well. Somehow a lot of other teams have thrown balls that traveled more than 8 yards in the air. This was one of the biggest complaints we universally shared against the previous administration. Again, I'm not saying that it's an accurate indicator of what the regular season will bring. It's just not all that encouraging on this day. You were saying?
Bronc24 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 He's looking better, now. Imagine: a rookie QB looking better the more he plays.....
NickelCity Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Some very nice plays. Woods over the middle and the TD throw were great.
NoSaint Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 are these short throws just to get EJ comfortable and deeper throws will come in the later games? from the camp reports and highlights, he seems to be throwing it downfield effectively. Likely part that with the play calls, part ej going to his comfort zone with live bullets flying too... Even a team that takes a lot of shots only takes so many of them any given game, and this is still both a very small sample and not a traditional game where you are setting up for a 4 quarter battle and a win. We don't always know the primary goal is on any given playcall in preseason
billsfaninky Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Great 2:00 minute drill. EJ3's confidence has grown throughout the game. Bring him along throughout this preseason and get him ready for week 1.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Do we still hate EJ? Now the bi-polars will overpraise him. Good first half of football for EJ. I really like the way he fought through his jitters.
Chandler#81 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 He's looking better, now. Really? C'mon, man, you can say it: EJ Manuel was PERFECT in a length of the field drive for the go ahead TD. It's simple, really.
RCOHEN13 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Nice half, have a seat young man. 16/21 just over 100 yards, 2 1st down runs and 2 min drill TD... D is flying around field and Kiko was everywhere. Woods could be 1B to SJ13 hes that polished and Goodwin is gonna be the weapon Parrish was supposed to be cuz he has an all around game and not made glass. LOVING new team and new schemes on O, D, and Special teams! GO BILLS!
Fixxxer Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I have to say that this half was the perfect build up for a rookie QB. Run the ball, take what is given and press when you have to. So far so good.
BillnutinHouston Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Can any of you recall our kick coverage team stopping a returner inside the 20 last year? I think we have done this 2X today already. That's either coaching, outside speed or most likely, better hang time on the kicks.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Imagine: a rookie QB looking better the more he plays..... Bizarre concept isn't it? I was expecting a fully polished product, after all he's had two weeks of training camp leading up to his first NFL game ever.
voodoo poonani Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 It was against backups, but I'm glad EJ got his first TD pass. Hopefully he gains some confidence and poise from this.
section122 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Love that drive. How many times have teams gouged us sinking and dunking down the field in a 2 minute drill? Ej to woods looks to be an exciting pairing. Much much better preseason start than last year that's for sure! Birddog offer still stands buddy...
Chandler#81 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Now the bi-polars will overpraise him. Good first half of football for EJ. I really like the way he fought through his jitters. Ditto. I thought the last drive he showed he was a little angry with himself ie: 'I can do this!' he did!
jrb2590 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Nice finish for EJ. (Assuming his day is done). Woods looks good, and that's without Stevie in there. Has Da'Rick been in there yet?
