vegas55 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 And it has nothing to do with him missing the last two games. He is simply not Marrone's type of player, and he has been a thorn in Marrone's side all year. It was in late November that Coach had to have a sit down with Stevie, but little was made of it at the time. Stevie spun it like it was a meeting to discuss his frustration with Bills lack of success. Marrone said nothing. Stevie's spin was BS - Marrone is not having a major sit down with a player because the player is unhappy with team record - please. Stevie is a me first guy who comes up small in big situations. That big contract does not help. Here's an overlooked example which illustrates a coaches frustration; The KC game - interception in end zone returned for TD. Game changing play - it was third and goal - Tuel facing a 9 man front checks into a quick slant pass. Stevie has one job on the play - clear the slant area out by taking his man into back of the end zone. What does Stevie do? A double stutter step and a push off of his defender; which gets Stevie wide open in back of end zone but which fails to carry out the design of play - that is, to clear the slant area. Expecting a QB, especially a rookie QB facing a 9 man front to readjust on the fly there was ridiculous. Stevie got himself wide open for the benefit of Stevie; but he failed to carry out his assignment and put his QB in a terrible spot. That's why coaches get so frustrated with him. Of course Stevie being Stevie doubled down on his selfishness by standing in the end zone and throwing up his arms. Good bye Stevie and good riddance.
