No argument on that. I think EJ looks better when he's under center anyways. His footwork is better under center. In shotgun, he's lazy with his footwork.

 

The running game is a lot more effective under center too-- plus, then you can do better play action, boot legs, etc. Seems silly to go 90% + snaps out of the shotgun.

It's this whole trying to go fast and read option offenses in the NFL. I don't understand why you can't do them under center.

EJ had his best game of the season against the Jets dropping back from under Center. I don't understand why Marrone and Hackett went away from that in the last two games.

Wot?

 

Watch the play where Revis hits Woods. EJ feels phantom pressure and does his spin move, while Glenn buries the rusher lol. EJ spun into at least 2 sacks that way.

Yeah, I'm all caught up now. I thought he was being snarky about the positive spin from the piece,

No surprise: all of the breakdowns highlighted here were 100% mental. This was an unfocused, uninspired team.

 

I'm watching the game again. Check out Rainey's 80-Yard TD Run.

 

This play is a lot on Kyle Williams (blocked out of the play) and mostly on Alonso (taking the wrong gap and then missing the tackle) --

 

But watch Byrd and Gilmore. Neither guy has a clue what's going on, until Rainey is 25 yards downfield. They probably could have stopped the run for a 20-25 yard gain, but they were completely unfocused and not really paying attention.

 

 

Everyone watching film from Sunday is coming up with the same opinion. The Bills simply didn't show up.

People are bitching about EJ's spin move....

 

You do realize that he has used that move to spin out of sacks on more then one occasion this year right? You cant love people in slices.

 

Yes....he was feeling phantom pressure on some of those plays.....there was also a lot of time where he was getting pressure almost immediately....and other plays where receivers were not where they were supposed to be.....

 

Bottom line....everyone made mistakes

Upon Further Review: Bills at Buccaneers

 

By Joe Buscaglia

 

JoeB@wgr550.com

 

(WGR 550) -- Warning: What you are about to read is not for the faint of heart. The Buffalo Bills went down to Tampa Bay and came back licking their wounds, with their most embarrassing loss of the season.

 

The players will want to move on to next weekend as quickly as possible. But before they get started on their preparations for Jacksonville, first is a look back at the individual performances of every single Bills player that took a snap on offense or defense.

 

Every week, with the help of the All-22 film available through NFL.com's Game Rewind package, WGR will provide the standouts, the duds and everything in between from the game that was.

Woods crossing. Goodwin past sticks. Chandler available late. Three options. Ball held = sack. https://vine.co/v/hQFqrzvXb3u

 

@JeremyWGR

What happened out there? Offense a mess! https://vine.co/v/hQFiE7VX2v0

 

first play - EJ was about to throw to receiver at the 40 yard marker when DT jumped with arms up to defend.. before EJ could recover our RT was beaten by the DE

 

- trouble here was two receivers converging to the same passing lane, allowing DT to defend two options with one jump!

- these are the patterns that usually end up with a deflected ball to the up man getting picked by deeper cover man, but they were both open. would have been a good gain if not for DT's head's up play

 

second play - receiver at top was preparing to block down field for our fullback who tripped before getting out into the flat. not sure where their safety was, but that could have gone somewhere

 

- on secend look, he was knocked over by inside rush of RDE, who ended up at EJ's legs

- worse thing about this play was this was EJ's only option. don't know if it was drawn up this way, or receiver to EJ's right took play off

wow

 

You can like certain things a player does and not others. This isn't about man-love, it's about winning football games.

 

Thats right...and the next "Franchise QB" that everyone wants will have things he does that people love and that people hate.....

 

Too bad you cant take a bunch of football players and take out the crap parts and just keep the good ones....right? But..in the real world you cant do that so you take the good with the bad and work on the bad

John from Hemet, the problem I see with the spin move is two fold:

1) Necessitates EJ turning his back to the field of play. If you watch the game's best "teflon QB" such Aaron Rogers or Drew Brees, or the hard-to-bring-down man-mountains like Big Ben, *they never take their eyes off the field of play*. They elude by ducking, timing a step forward or sideways, or drag defenders with them, but their eyes are always downfield. EJ has got to "shed the spin" and channel his athleticism into his primary mission, which is being the best Quarterback he can be.

2) When rotating, the body and knees/ankles aren't always in sync. Getting hit during a move like this can mean big injury.

 

As far as "loving people in slices", it is too so possible to love some slices (aspects of a guy's game) and hate others. For example, we all loved that Fitz had some fire to him and really wanted to win. We all hated that he took his "gunslinger mentality" too far and would start forcing throws, making interceptions at the worst possible time. Similarly, if EJ doesn't grow out of it, we will love that he has the ability to escape, but hate that he pulls the ripcord too early.

The "Spin Cycle" move is not necessarily a bad thing. I've seen Tony Romo use it on multiple occasions to extend plays that culminate in positive gains. EJ should keep it in his arsenal and I hopefully with greater experience he will learn when to employ it and when not to.
