Fingon Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Trent Edwards just uncorked a 50-yard bomb down the far sideline that I was sure would be too far for Terrell Owens, who was getting held up by Reggie Corner.But Owens saw the ball coming swam over the DB and closed on the ball catching it in stride for a 70-yard TD play. At the very least I thought he’d have to dive for it. The closing burst on the ball was eye popping. See highlights of practice later today in Bills Roundup. i know, i know.. there is another thread, but it doesn't mention that it was 50 yards in the air. I thought it was physically impossible for his noodle to launch anything that far. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2009/05/29/o...catch-up-speed/

I thought it was physically impossible for his noodle to launch anything that far. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2009/05/29/o...catch-up-speed/ Maybe it's time you let go of your negative clihes concerning our starting QB and started talking him up a bit.
The Senator Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 OMFG - DJ even cracked a joke - or, at least what constitutes a 'joke' in Jauron-speak... “I hope I get a chance to study Terrell’s (touchdown celebrations) a lot.” link 19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! PosLUSZny!!!!!
Hossage Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Lets hope he has had time to add strength. Lets be fair; he isnt kelly holcomb or chad pennington.
Magox Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Dakota Fanning must have been on the sideline. Losman read about it
JinWPB Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Trent starts learning,as Romo did, it's hard to overthrow T.O.!!!! 50 yards in the air works for me. 2009 Buffalo Bills........BOMBS AWAY.
ans4e64 Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 50 yards is not far at all for an NFL QB. It is the minimum. If you're happy that Trent can throw the minimum distance that any NFL QB has ever been able to throw, you need to raise your standards.

Heitz Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 50 yards is not far at all for an NFL QB. It is the minimum. If you're happy that Trent can throw the minimum distance that any NFL QB has ever been able to throw, you need to raise your standards. If an NFL QB can't throw at least 140 yards, what's the freaking point? Trent should be able to throw a strike to TO from Hammers to far end zone. n00bs...

If you're happy that Trent can throw the minimum distance that any NFL QB has ever been able to throw, you need to raise your standards. Its as much about timing and knowing when to go long as it is about distance, if TO's running in single coverage its not going to matter if TE hits TO at 50 or 60 yards, its still going to end up being a big play. I excited
kota Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 LOL you guys watch the QB challenges to much. Sure a QB can maybe throw it 70-80 yards but how often does that actually come up? Like almost never due to the time it takes a WR to get that far down the field. I would say 50 yards in the air is the standard for big pass plays in the NFL.

Do you see the irony in what you're saying? You say 50 yards is standard, which is exactly what I was saying...
Delete This Account Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 it was a solid pass and catch. perfectly timed/placed pass, good adjustment and great extra gear by t.o. to catch up to ball. woulda been a td in any setting, practice, scrimmage, preseason, regular season and against most cbs. jw
