EasternOHBillsFan Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I called this DAYS ago: Did anyone ever stop and think that Marrone is doing this ON PURPOSE to make Billy boy think Manuel will not start Week One to screw up his preparation?

DanInUticaTampa Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Seems like BS to me. No link was posted and I can't find one anywhere online. Seems that way. The only mention of it on NFL.com is from 5 hours ago, and it was a rehash of Manuel throwing the ball on Thursday and that there is no timetable for a return yet. With that said, I still say it is more likely EJ will start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Even with EJ starting we need help at CB and OL bad and Im still worried about one of my favorite (EXfavorite) Bills, Byrd. Our secondary is looking bleak, they better pick up a decent veteran CB soon, two would be nice. But yeah very exicited to see what EJ could do this year and in the future.

If we go into the new England game with only those two positions as holes, we are already better than last year. If our defensive line plays well, that should mask the bad secondary play to some degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

first_and_ten Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Nowhere does it say that Manuael is going to practice "today". And, unless he is able to get in 3 quality practices next week, Tuel is the starter week one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Amazing how excited people are getting over the possibility that EJ will start vs the Pats, as if he was a seasoned NFL star rather than a rookie who has played a handful of series in two practice games. I am sure belichick is licking his chops, no matter which rookie starts. Gonna be a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleed Bills Blue Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 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. This. EJ was one of the best walk-on players in FSU history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Sorry if this has been answered already, but did Ej actually practice yesterday (or today)? Or was it all just rumor? I could find the answer. On the other bills message board there's a thread in which people are saying he did. I haven't seen a link or anything to confirm.

A lot of teams keep 2 qbs. 3 qbs are not mandatory. i think he's saying that IF EJ wasn't ready for week 1, then essentially we would only have 1 QB (Tuell) as it stands right now. So therefore we must have 2. EJ and Tuell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right - but the point is we want to get going and learning with him under center - not spin wheels watching QB's who aren't going to be the starter get reps.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thad just released, EJ must be recovering as scheduled and hopefully ready to start week 1.

ganesh Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thad just released, EJ must be recovering as scheduled and hopefully ready to start week 1. Why are these two inter-related. Even if EJ was ready to start week1, we still need a 3rd emergency QB. If Thad was released, it simply meant the coaching staff did not think highly of him.
