    Something something Hospitality tent

     

    Yeah, his coaching staff and the talent around him did him no favors.  Yes, if he'd been allowed to sit and learn the game behind Kolb for a year (as was the plan) and if he'd been placed behind a capable OL instead of one forced into disarray by stubborn square peg shoving, and with WR experienced in the offense, he could probably have played better.

     

    On the other hand....even playing behind a crap OL with no run game and bargain-basement or checked-out WR, we could see competitive fire and leadership from Josh we never saw from EJ.  And athleticism.

     

    Methinks that Manuel is getting a bit revisionist in his perceptions, seeing all the great dual-threat QB currently in the league and dreaming of what might have been.

     

     

    Some truth to this

    He had Wood and Watkins as his receivers.

    We Need Elite Pass Rushers

    We suck at drafting people who can get 10 sacks a year. Drafting elite CBs are the only thing we do well on defense. 

    I wish we would have kept Jordan Phillips who had 9.5 sack last year.  Not bad for a guy in the middle but we also need an edge rusher.  It seems like we did not replace the guys that left with quality player.

    Marcel was awful the last year. What are you basing this on? 2-3 years ago?

     

    ..or maybe they just keep dialing up blitzes and more exotic pressure schemes to force faster throws over signing 

    I am basing it on that we need to get heavier on the DL.  I know Marcel is not coming back but we need a guy that can take on 2 blockers and hold the LOS.  Also, we have a young linebacker who consistently shoots the wrong hole which doesn’t help.

    - Norman played well, but I don't think he was the catalyst for the tunraround. The Bills got more aggressive on defense.

    - The Bills offensive line won't be the best in football, but it has excellent depth. 

    - People upset about the lack of running game have a poor frame of reference. It's a passing league more than ever. Ground and Pound is for teams that don't have a QB or weapons in the passing game. 

    - Bill line are better pass protectors than run blockers. Why would they stop doing something that is moving the chains just so they can adhere to a vision of football that died a few years ago?

     

    The D line needs more sand in their pants.  Reach out to Snacks Harrison.  Marcel would be good also but That would never happen

    Back in the day when Chuck Knox was coach, don’t remember who the GM was they drafted Gary Anderson, kicker out of Syracuse and cut him after the preseason when he missed a couple near 50 yard FG’s and kept the incumbent Nick Mickameyer (sp?). The Steelers immediately grabbed him up and Anderson went on to be a perennial All-Pro and one of the best place kickers of all time.

    Don’t know why that boneheaded move sticks in my head after all these years, but it does.

    He missed on purpose because he didn’t want to play here
