eball Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 We are going to be good. Too many playmakers to defend, a top RB, a decent enough OL and an OC who knows what he's doing. I'm on the TMobile express. Yepper. Can't wait 'til we drop 40 on the Colts in W1 and the rest of the league is like, "WTF?"
YoloinOhio Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) @buffalobills Look it in. #BillsCamp @TyDunne There have been stretches this summer when nobody can cover Sammy Watkins. Hauls in deep ball in double coverage from Cassel. Joe Haden shut him down in the Browns game last year. I think Haden is as good as it gets at CB - he's getting close to Revis and Sherman IMO and I'd take him any day over Peterson. This week will be a huge test for Samuel.

The nice thing is, if Sammy gets shut down, then there are so many more options...Harvin, Woods, Clay, Shady out of the backfield...even Goodwin sprinkled in for a few deep routes...

I'm on the TMobile express. I agree. Just imagine if TT is the hidden gem a lot of people think he is. Could be very similar to what happened with Seattle. Joe Haden shut him down in the Browns game last year. I think Haden is as good as it gets at CB - he's getting close to Revis and Sherman IMO and I'd take him any day over Peterson. This week will be a huge test for Samuel. Did anyone really 'shut' Sammy down or was it really more QB issues even giving him a chance to make plays? I remember against Revis he was burning him left and right but was either a decoy or just wasn't getting the ball.
fergie's ire Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia Into 7 on 7s now and EJ Manuel is still working with the third team. Taylor and Cassel with the 1s. #Bills @TyDunne Ryan said EJ Manuel started the scrimmage. Will be tough for him to get first-team reps here on out. Taylor... https://vine.co/v/epJbjJ3mvpj Where are the 2s? Last week they described it as Cassel and EJ working with the 1s (with Cassel getting about 3/4 of the reps) and Taylor with the 2s. If they are just running the same rotation based on seniority, it would seem Taylor and Cassel would work with the 1s, with Taylor getting most of the reps and EJ with the twos....but apparently there are no 2s today.

I remember against Revis he was burning him left and right but was either a decoy or just wasn't getting the ball. im not sure - I remember seeing an all22 where that was the consensus but obviously there were a lot of factors involved beyond just Watkins 1:1 with Haden. The other guy I remember shutting him down, per se, was a cb from KC (Ron Parker?)
26CornerBlitz Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Bottom line on Tyrod. If not he'll be game planned for and shutdown just like all of the other runaround QBs. @ChrisTrapasso Tyrod is super mobile / improvisational which = exciting. But he needs to prove he can thrive from pocket. Can't scramble over & over in NFL Passing accurately from pocket is what Tyrod has to show this week vs Browns in scrimmage setting then obviously in preseason game No. 2. @buffalobills Today: Blue vs. White Tomorrow: @Browns vs. Bills @mikerodak Bryce Brown has a minor hamstring injury.

Alphadawg7 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I'm really starting to get excited about TT. I've been very skeptical just based on him being unproven as a passer and too quick to run. But I was very impressed Friday and hearing how he's following it up is even more exciting. I'm not sold yet, need to see more. And remember, these early preseason games involve very little game planning, so it will be much easier for him to run now then it will be come week 1. So he's gotta be a threat as a passer or he will have a hard time being successful. But I am loving what I have seen so far. I hope EJ gets to start one preseason game too, because I would rather keep them over Cassel so if whoever the backup is we don't have to change the offense too much like we would woth Cassel on the roster.

The even more potentially exciting thing about TT is how much he could improve from getting real game action. What he is now probably isn't what he'll be further into the season. He seems highly motivated to improve and that could bode extremely well for this team.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 @TyDunne Rex Ryan won't say if EJ Manuel will get first-team reps here on out. Says he'll work in with two's but won't back himself into a corner. Ryan did say EJ Manuel will get majority of the next game working with three's, so that's why he was with that group. @JoeBuscaglia #Bills HC Rex Ryan: It was my decision to put EJ with the 3s. He may get some reps with the 2s this week too
Juice_32 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 @mikerodak Rex says EJ Manuel will "get the majority of the game" on Thursday running with third team. It sure seems like they are showcasing EJ. It's starting to feel more and more like it will be TT, Cassel as the vet back up and maybe Simms on the PS with EJ being either cut or traded.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Come on TT. Feel the TBD love and run with it before we hate you @TyDunne: Taylor brought some "magic" to Friday night but Bills need to see if he can make plays from pocket. Just threw a swing pass at 88's feet. I am dubbing us the "Taylor Gang" until it catches on.
ko12010 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Yepper. Can't wait 'til we drop 40 on the Colts in W1 and the rest of the league is like, "WTF?" People are sleeping hard on the Bills this year. The only ones who have an inkling of what this team could actually do are the ones who have invested a little time looking at all the pieces have been falling into place. So that's basically none of the national media.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Taylor can move the ball on 1st and 2nd, but if he cannot move the ball when it matters on 3rd down then i am not going to be a fan of his.I think the exact opposite. He is the most likely of the 3 to move the chains because he can make the play with his feet if need be. That is a great weapon on 3rd down.

Juice_32 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I doubt they cut him and eat the guaranteed money. You think we're going to keep 3 then? We are going to have to cut some really good players as is.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 16, 2015 Author Posted August 16, 2015 You think we're going to keep 3 then? We are going to have to cut some really good players as is. I believe it's likely they will, but we'll know soon enough.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Passing accurately from pocket is what Tyrod has to show this week vs Browns in scrimmage setting then obviously in preseason game No. 2. The thing is 26 so far he has done that as well as the other 2 in camp. In order for them to separate from him there has to be a big gap between them throwing the ball. At the moment there isn't.
Dorkington Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 It's also not super logical to worry about giving him first team reps if he's not on the first team this Thursday, while at the same time, they want to give him plenty of action for development purposes.
