mikef272002 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I truly hate to say this, so as not to jinx him, but most all of the college scouting reports said EJ was one of the best in the nation in "mat reading." Now, granted, some college mats are a little different than the ones the pros use. But the ability to walk on mats is really one of those talents that you either have or you don't. All the "just put one foot in front of the other" micromanaging by coaches is usually ignored by the players. Manuel has never had a mat problem before, and if you have been watching him in practice, he basically ignores they are even there. That just shows a mat swagger. I'm not going to worry about them. EJ is mat-ready. Ya But these are NFL mats, it's a whole different level..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm glad EJ is going to practice today. But there's no practice. Now I'm confused. Marrone said last night that "Friday will be a big day for him out there. Then there's a day off. Then Sunday and Monday will be big days." The "then there's a day off" certainly seems to suggest that something is happening today...no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 All along, I knew he would start week 1. The "Tuel manuver" by Marrone was very Belichickian.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that Marrone is not above a little Belichickanery? Not sure what he's saying.... but the terms "Tuel Maneuver" and "Belichickian" are probably worth copyright protection.

BuffaloBill Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Tuel's girlfriend doesn't have access to any lead pipes, does she? That was one of the most bizarre events in sports history. I truly hate to say this, so as not to jinx him, but most all of the college scouting reports said EJ was one of the best in the nation in "mat reading." Now, granted, some college mats are a little different than the ones the pros use. But the ability to walk on mats is really one of those talents that you either have or you don't.

Manuel has never had a mat problem before, and if you have been watching him in practice, he basically ignores they are even there. That just shows a mat swagger. I'm not going to worry about them. EJ is mat-ready. Only in Bills Nation... But that is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
