BisonMan Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm already pumped to see the Bills play this weekend. In particular, I'm interested in seeing EJ Manual play. I think I already know what we have in Kolb so seeing him play a quarter of the game doesn't hold a lot of revelations. EJ is a black box at this point to me. I figure Tuel will get more reps than anyone given it's the first game. He probably plays the entire second half. Given Kolb's injury, I'm hoping EJ plays more than a quarter and starts the game against the limited time the Colts will play any first team defensive players. Let Kolb wrap up the 2nd quarter and play a couple of series. EdW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) I hope they give him a full half, if Kolb is out. Edited August 7, 2013 by Dorkington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 1st half at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 At least a half. He needs as much real-game practice as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Miner Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Depends on how the game is going. If he's taking as many sacks as he did in the scrimmage, not long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the sacks will be down in the game and the scrimmage was a result of our new, aggressive pass rush! On the other hand, I'd be OK with Spiller playing 1 series or not at all.

If Kolb doesn't play id say him and Jeff go half for half if Kolb does play I wonder who they start because the fact Kevin missed 3 practices and a scrimmage...

MDH Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Play him long enough so when he leaves the game it's on a positive note. If that only takes a few series then that's enough. I don't want him to log significant time in either the 1st or 4th preseason games. The middle two games I'd like to see him play an entire half.

eball Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If Kolb is out they almost need to play him a half, and I'd be fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 First half for sure for Manuel. If he is going to be the guy for the regular season he'll need all the reps he can get. And I think he is going to be the guy this season for better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don't mind him logging significant time if he is playing well. Edited August 7, 2013 by AvengedSevenfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence is a valuable commodity...especially for a rookie. Find some for him in the first game and then build on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 A lot. At least a half. Of course if the 3rd string OLine totally breaks down, maybe get him out, but then again maybe not. If he's our starter, he's likely to face heavy blitzes often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I want him to play at least a full quarter then after that if its going well leave him in for the half, if its not going well at least wait till indy puts some scrubs in, let EJ do work and leave on a positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
