Kelly the Dog Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I put this in another thread but... I saw the actual interview with Cole where he says this. It seems to me that it is really premature and they said it before yesterday's game, and as a general idea. What he actually said was the other coaches think that Cassell will likely make less mistakes. Well duh. That is no earth shattering news. They are using the preseason to see if Taylor is not going to be making mistakes and he didn't yesterday which was after these opinions were expressed. Plus we have next week. Going into the preseason games I would have thought that Cassell was a safer bet, too. I don't think this report, right now, is any news and may not even be true anymore, even though Cole was talking about it today.
DC Greg Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 It's funny because Rex explicitly said that they're not making any decision public until the start of the season. It's laughable that you think this bleacher reporter is leaking the inside scoop the very next day. There will be info leaked well in advance of actual game day vs. Indy on who the starter is. Someone is going to be practicing with the first team offense that week. Rex will tell the the team in advance. I like the idea of keeping it under wraps to mess with them, but it should be fairly well know by game day.

Certainly less catchy than how they're spinning it now.
Nihilarian Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I'll starting thinking about this after the next two pre season games. Both Pittsburgh, and Detroit can score a ton of points while playing good defense. We will know more after the next two games.
purple haze Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 It's funny because Rex explicitly said that they're not making any decision public until the start of the season. It's laughable that you think this bleacher reporter is leaking the inside scoop the very next day. Rex didn't make a decision public. Cole could have gotten info from a player, an equipment guy, or whoever. Didn't have to get info from a coach. Although Kromer is on staff. Not like a coach would talk about inside pool to a reporter, oh wait...
TSOL Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I'm not saying Cole is not a good reporter, I'm saying Rex has a strategy of dealing with the media designed to have them chasing their tails like puppy dogs.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I am very skeptical that anyone in the Bills organization would leak that at this moment.
Mr. WEO Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Tongue in cheek I hope. Let GRo make the call. Maybe Idzik can tell him what to do....

Pretty easy to leak counter information that the other two will start to throw shade against the correct "leaked" info. Would expect if they want to keep the identity of the starter classified they would do some subterfuge. Edited August 21, 2015 by YattaOkasan

BuffaloBillsForever Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 well Leroi posts stuff on a public message board and he works there I have never read where Leroi says he works(ed) for the Bills. Can you post me a link to that?
Kirby Jackson Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) I have never read where Leroi says he works(ed) for the Bills. Can you post me a link to that?He posted a pic of himself in the draft room. Edited August 21, 2015 by Kirby Jackson
BuffaloBillsForever Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 He posted a pic of himself in the draft room. Link with pic and context please?
Kirby Jackson Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Link with pic and context please?I'm not digging it up. You can believe it or not but it was around draft time. The back of his head was in the video as they were making the pick.
truth on hold Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Same old Rex , hasnt a clue about the position. Favors the wild cat-type QB. So much for learning from his mistakes with jets. Edited August 21, 2015 by JTSP

The back of his head was in the video as they were making the pick. Was it in someone's lap? I kid, I kid. I like Leroi and his legit contributions as well as his wacky theories.
BillsInMaine Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Im on board with T-Mobile. He's fun and definitely no worse then EJ or Cassel.
frogger Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Maybe he means other coaches around league don't want us starting Taylor...out of fear!
Dan Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I'm not digging it up. You can believe it or not but it was around draft time. The back of his head was in the video as they were making the pick.FWIW, i'll provide independent verification that he did infact post that back during the draft. I think it was in one of the draft threads after we drafted some dude. And no, kirby has not paid me in any way to say that.
