Tyrod's Tailor Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 So 4 snaps, in what will be many? This just in, Manual is allowed to make no mistakes at Training Camp. Just passing along what JW wrote. Tell him if you don't like it.
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Forever young... gramps outruns the rook GIFF @VPGIFF 2m Freddie on the screen Preston Brown can't keep up. Freddie scampers for a big gain.
Dorkington Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 This just in, Manual is allowed to make no mistakes at Training Camp. That's not news. From what I gather here, and on Twitter, EJ is the only QB in the history of the NFL to make mistakes in training camp.
thebandit27 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Meh...Wawrow is most decidedly not an EJ guy, or at the very least he's down on his ability; he needs to be taken with a grain of salt. For whatever it's worth, a few buddies of mine have said he's looked good the first 2 days. He has his bad moments where he still looks like a rookie, but overall he's throwing the ball much better.
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Buffalo Sports Guy @716SportsGuy 26s Breaking: Schwartz DOES blitz!"@VPGIFF: Bradham With the sack. Schwartz blitzing in 11 on 11. Bubble screen to Sammy. D is on it.” GIFF @VPGIFF 38s Stefan Charles blows up a spiller run. Offense a bit shakey. Seantrel struggling today.
Wayne Cubed Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Just passing along what JW wrote. Tell him if you don't like it. Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. Just more of a conversation starter.
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 GIFF @VPGIFF 59s Cyrus K off side. Next play safety blitz for a sack. Brown over right side for a nice gain. O is less sloppy than yesterday advantage D
Tyrod's Tailor Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. Just more of a conversation starter. All good. Agree that 4 plays is a pretty dumb time horizon to measure a qb.
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. Just more of a conversation starter. 4 snaps on the 3rd day of practice - not going to stress. If he was perfect we would scream the defense sucks. That's why TC is hard to assess.
thebandit27 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 All good. Agree that 4 plays is a pretty dumb time horizon to measure a qb. It's just JW getting his licks in...while it may not be the truth, he definitely projects as a guy that doesn't like EJ
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Tuel Time, y'all... Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia 2m I could be wrong, but it appears as though Jeff Tuel is taking the 2nd team reps at QB today. #Bills Buffalo Sports Guy @716SportsGuy 1m @JoeBuscaglia I was at the practice on Sunday, and if that was any indication, he should be. Thad really, really struggled. Buffalo Bills @buffalobills 47s As the first padded #BillsCamp practice rolls on, follow the action in photos: http://goo.gl/ABXbHz pic.twitter.com/moA8kvejb8 It's just JW getting his licks in...while it may not be the truth, he definitely projects as a guy that doesn't like EJ GIFF @VPGIFF 1m For my EJ people....average day. not great, not horrible. He is having OL issues. Lewis picked by Brooks. John Wawrow @john_wawrow 1m Except for Watkins, rest of #Bills offense having a dreadful day: From o-line to QBs. No wonder music guy just played Michael Jackson's Bad. Mike Rodak @mikerodak 2m Practice is getting rough for QBs in third down work today. Manuel with a bad overthrow, followed by easy INT from Lewis by Brooks Edited July 22, 2014 by YoloinOhio
thebandit27 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 GIFF @VPGIFF 1m For my EJ people....average day. not great, not horrible. He is having OL issues. Lewis picked by Brooks. Funny how two people watching the same guy can see different things. As a side note, it doesn't surprise me at all that Thad is struggling mightily...I really worry about the backup QB position as he just doesn't look like a guy that can sustain a team for a multi-game stretch.

Isn't that all you can ask for out of your backup???
The Underdog Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Offense seems a little sloppy today but man, it looks like a 3rd straight day of Sammy dominating! I think we should be giddy over all of the amazing reviews Sammy is getting from both the local and national media. I'm super pumped, he has all the makings to be a superstar! And nobody be a buzzkill and say its just training camp, I know what it is - haha.
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Alexandra Vitale @AlexandraBills 2m Weather is perfect here at St. John Fisher as Day 3 of #BillsCamp continues... 1st day in pads. pic.twitter.com/blvv9YuNS0 Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 1m Outside of Watkins' dominance, #Bills O seems to be behind the D. That's a typical theme at start of training camp for almost every team.
thebandit27 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 he went .500 last year didn't he? Isn't that all you can ask for out of your backup??? He was 2-3 as a starter last year--both wins coming against Miami; one in which the D pitched a shutout and the other in which the D forced a last-second turnover for the win. I need my backup to be able to win me a game; getting just close enough to lose isn't going to do it IMO.
FluffHead Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 When EJ looks bad - "it's just day 3 of camp! He is allowed to make mistakes!" When EJ looks good - we will wait and see because it hasn't happened yet

When EJ looks good - we will wait and see because it hasn't happened yet Did you miss all the nice plays he had, Fluffhead? They are documented in this thread.... Jay Skurski @JaySkurski 28s Dan Carpenter goes 7 of 8 on field goals, with a long of 51 yards. His lone miss was from 37. #Bills GIFF @VPGIFF 34s Offense still struggling. Early on to be expected. But all O needs to tighten up. They still look sloppy. Temper expectations at the HOF gm. Buffalo Rumblings @BuffRumblings 4m Lots of negativity toward EJ and Thad today. Offense looking sluggish. Overthrows, interceptions. Not a good look per multiple reports.
mrags Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Everyone take a pill and relax about EJ. I'm not there today but I can vouch over the first 2 days he didn't struggle. Yes he made mistakes but they were not bad. His days overall were a success. He missed some throws but made some really nice ones. Deep throws too. his connection with Sammy grew from day 1 to day 2 and it sounds like it's growing into day 3 too.

Good to hear that mrags; thanks for chiming in...that's almost exactly what my friend(s) that have watched practice have told me as well.
