26CornerBlitz Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000205917/article/five-nfl-scheme-changes-to-watch-offense Buffalo Bills When rookie quarterback EJ Manuel claims the Bills' offense was easier to grasp than Florida State's, he also noted that Buffalo's playbook depicts "a true West Coast-type progression" attack. We expect the Bills to operate out of a pro-style base with elements of up-tempo and zone-read concepts. New coach Doug Marrone fell in love with one-back formations and no-huddle looks last season at Syracuse. Flexibility will be paramount under Nathaniel Hackett, but what the new must get right -- and what Chan Gailey's staff never did -- is a consistent unleashing C.J. Spiller. Expect friskiness out of Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Rapid pace maybe? Who knows what that really means. It is like the guy who quoted EJ as having "slow eyes"......Our new wave of Journalists love to throw stuff at people without themselves knowing the meaning of what they write.

hondo in seattle Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It is like the guy who quoted EJ as having "slow eyes"......Our new wave of Journalists love to throw stuff at people without themselves knowing the meaning of what they write. You have a point but, c'mon, don't you get tired of hiring the same verbiage over and over? "He's got great range." "High football I.Q." "A lot of upside." "Plays well in space." I'm guessing he's using "friskiness" to mean a creative, uptempo offense. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedGame Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Friskiness. It's a legit use of the word, and a refreshing break from stale cliches. If you think it's a word that only applies in the bedroom, it's time to cancel your Maxim subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 As long as he doesn't become winded. That's why we had Fred's turn.....Oh wait that was the previous failed regime's term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeisterHollow Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If EJ Manuel plays somewhere in the range of Cam Newton, RGIII, Luck, Wilson, or even Tannehill, and if our O-line plays well, we stand to have a very formidable offense. Something that appeals to me: what many consider to be a weakness of Buffalo's offense - namely, we have so many untested or new skill position players in a new scheme - I think can conversly be a strength; no one knows what to expect from us, and, when we get rolling, people will not be able to focus solely on Stevie, or Spiller, because we'll have Chandler, Jackson, Woods, Rogers, Goodwin and Graham as alternate, viable weapons. The name of our game will be spreading the ball out, and using our speed to create mismatches and to tire our opponents. I love our chances - because we don't have to have a super complex offense that these young guys would need years to master in order to have success; and Marrone is going to prove that to people this year.

Nanker Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Totally tangential take. It was meant to be FREAKINESS!!! Not friskiness. EJ's name is Eric James Manuel. He's Rick James... B*TCH!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp3x6l5dZp8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
