rcatty Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Funny how things don't seem to change. That was Jimmy Johnson discussing the Bills in one of their Super Bowl appearances. How embarrassing to be called out in a critique of a fundamental aspect of your organization. The sad thing is, we have seen this all too often with Marrone's teams. Last year it was Stevie Johnson and Scott Chandler. Now it's McKelvin and Brown. At some point in time you, as coach, have to wake up and teach and practice ball security. I shudder to think what a real coach; i.e Lombardi, Paul Brown, Lou Saban, would say about Marrone and his clueless understanding of fundamentals. I guess they don't have those issues with .500 teams at Syracuse?
ricojes Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 At some point in time you, as coach, have to wake up and teach and practice ball security. I am not a Morrone fan, but do you honestly believe they don't practice ball security? That's a reach my man...
Jauronimo Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 is jimmy still the spokesman for extenze? I know a guy who took those pills and now he and his wife sit in matching bath tubs at sunset almost every night and hold hands. I don't really see the connection but they seem happy.
MDH Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I am not a Morrone fan, but do you honestly believe they don't practice ball security? That's a reach my man... I don't know what they coach on a daily basis but what I do know is that this same stuff keeps happening to the Bills year after year while teams like the Pats rarely have it happen to them. Year after year guys on our team choke while guys on that team come up big in big spots. Is it luck?
Dirtbag Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I know a guy who took those pills and now he and his wife sit in matching bath tubs at sunset almost every night and hold hands. I don't really see the connection but they seem happy. that guy has probably reached the age where giving up isn't who he is. it's the age of knowing how to make things happen. and there's no room to let erectile dysfunction get in the way. time to gas and lube the old mustang and hit up the free love freeway.
Thunderstealer Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Leodis will always gamble on ball security for a chance at the endzone. That's just him--nothing will ever change that. It's the coach that signed off on him being on the field --that's the discussion.

NoSaint Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 we are tied for the most fumbles per game in 2014, and had dead last to ourselves last year.
Captain Hindsight Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 You know, I love Leodis in a football sense but I really do hope he's returned his last punt as a Bill. Why? He is a great returner
boyst Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 we are tied for the most fumbles per game in 2014, and had dead last to ourselves last year. yeah but its Jimmy Johnson and he is, like, really good at coaching.
Jauronimo Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Jimmy "Captain Obvious" Johnson Jimmy "Prescient" Johnson. He made these remarks over 20 years ago, according to the OP.
Whack 'Em Williams Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Marone has changed the culture of Buffalo football. We play mean and hard, often injuring skill players of the oppenents we face weekly. OC is the real issue, maybe DM needs some strong arming from DW to actually start calling the plays. Never more true than in the redzone.
KD in CA Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I am not a Morrone fan, but do you honestly believe they don't practice ball security? That's a reach my man... There's a difference between practicing and holding guys accountable (i.e., putting them on the bench). And when you don't hold guys accountable, you get this: we are tied for the most fumbles per game in 2014, and had dead last to ourselves last year.
vorpma Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 The PCT's say it all, a failed organization! "A quarterback's greatest asset is leadership." -- Roger Staubach Bills Coaches since Wade: Doug Marrone .458 Gregg Williams .354 Mike Mularkey .438 Chan Gailey .333 Dick Jauron .421
JoeF Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Jimmy Johnson and Janis Joplin graduated the same year from Thomas Jefferson High School in Beaumont, TX .....not relevant -- but still interesting... Jimmy uses a lot of hair gel -- perhaps that would help with ball security. Edited November 11, 2014 by Formerly Joe F

I guess they don't have those issues with .500 teams at Syracuse? How do you know they haven't worked on it? I can promise you that Marrone, a guy who has spent every fall since he was a kid on a football field, knows a little something about fundamentals. I do agree that Lombardi, Brown, and Saban would shake their heads at this year's Bills - just as they would with 31 other NFL teams. That's because the CBA limits camp so much they can't spend a lot of time on fundamentals. But if you know fundamentals as a fan, shouldn't a player who is being paid be expected to have picked them up somewhere in, I dunno... High school? College? Pop Warner?
