San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I was listening to Colin Cowherd I think around April 26th, just before the draft. He interviewed EJ and one thing EJ said made me happy. It was a long time ago so I am just remembering, He talked about how he bases his game closely to Big Ben. He says he would watch film of Big Ben studying how he was able to escape pressure but all while always looking down field to make the play. That is the QB type he said he is striving to be. He also went into why he took sacks but I can't remember what he said about that. If this is the right one it was April 23rd, only problem I guess you need insider to listen now. http://insider.espn....play?id=9203431 Thanks Meatloaf. Music to my ears. It seems that there are lots of QBs who can run for yardage but very few who can make plays in the passing game when they are flushed and forced to throw on the run. On the other hand I hope he doesn't absorb the punishment that Big Ben and Rodgers do. Both of those guys take unnecessary hits while trying to extend plays and would do better to run and slide IMO.

John Cocktosten Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Did you by any chance call into the John Murphy show this past week? The one who was talking about the "garbage" they are talking about with EJ? Basically the caller espoused that the Bills were hyping up EJ and he was going to suck. The caller talked about how he watched EJ all year at FSU and did not believe he had what it takes. Sound eerily like you... I wouldn't know where to even find the John Murphy show. Do you think that I'm the only one out there that has this opinion about EJ? I know a lot of people who actually watch college football that think the same thing. Hell, FSU fans are saying that the guy who is replacing EJ, Jaemis Winston, can do everything that EJ couldn't do. Meaning win games by himself.

But hey, at least they'll have another scapegoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Excited to see how the up-tempo offense looks today (and the new defense too for that matter). As stated, it's EJ's job to lose at this point. I think as long as he doesn't have any mark sanchez butt fumble moments and can show that he can move the ball down the field he will be our day 1 starter. What I want to see out of him is footwork (no happy feet) and making good decisions with the football (don't force the ball and checking down if someone is covered). Also hopefully they told him to just throw the ball away if it's not there. I know he can run but that's the last thing you want your franchise qb doing in the pre-season. Can't wait to see how it goes today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 So how much is EJ going to play today? Is Kolb ready to cobble? If not, we're mickle thin at QB for playing "real" games. This is how I see it playing out: Today: 1st Quarter - EJ 2nd Quarter - Kolb (but what if he can't go.. give Tuel his quarter?) 3rd Quarter - Tuel 4th Quarter - Scott Game 2: EJ - 1st Half Kolb - 3rd Qtr Tuel - 4th Qtr Game 3: EJ - 1st Half and 1st series in 3rd Qtr Kolb - balance of the game Game 4: EJ - 1st series Kolb - balance of 1st half Tuel - 2nd half and maybe Scott the last 10 minutes of the 4th Qtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably Joe B. from GR calling Murph, using a disguised name and voice. He doesn't like EJ and sounds very Sullivanesque when he talks about him. He will say something positive and then immediately follow it with a drawn out negative comment on anything he can come up with on EJ. I think he's just trying to back his draft day rant, and every day since, that he thought EJ was nothing better than a 4th round pick and that the bills should have taken Barkley or Nassib in the 1st.
