Dibs Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Everybody needs more weapons, apparently. First, EJ. Now, Crossman. I need some more weapons at work to do my job. I could be wrong but I don't recall Marrone or the FO ever saying that EJ was hindered by a lack of weapons(or core players around him lol). It's always been that his progression has been hindered by injuries etc. The Crossman comment however did sound like somebody trying to create excuses(rather than voicing legitimately accepted reasons).

KOKBILLS Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Jay Skurski @JaySkurski 9s Doug Whaley says he was "taken aback" by the question regarding Stevie Johnson's future with the team, maintains the team is behind him. I listened to the whole thing live and this was the single point I remembered most... For those wishing for Stevie's departure, for all the generalization and cloudy answers during this Presser, the Whaley answer about Stevie was probably the most specific...It does not seem like Whaley is having any anti-13 thoughts...

billsfan714 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Marrone on Spiller- How can he get better an get CJ more involved? Situations were different, injury a factor, saw him improve. Not sure if it's him showing signs or because of injury. No real answer. EJs performance from Russ- I empower Whaley and Marrone to make the right decisions. We expect movements forward. Jerry Hughes- Indy thought it was a win win, we expected Jerry to produce and expect bigger things next year. TE position- Marrone- Chandler played well and was productive. General BS about the TE position and how it can be utilized. Why can't we figure out how to win close games BS New England winning close games. Marrone- turnover battle. Rushing battle. Brady is outstanding. Don't beat yourself with errors and penalties. Thy do it better than anyone Chris Hairston- Whaley- will get more information from medical staff at end of week if he can resume his career. Morman- Want to keep him- Whaley Inconsistencies in run defense- Marrone- extremely disappointed. Categorized as urgent and needs to be fixed. But will be evaluated. Sacks and turnovers- Marrone- Was a big on turnovers when he took the job. Fastest way to lose football games. Wanted more and wanted to do it less. I'll admit I'm ignorant of exactly what is Hairston's injury and can he comeback. Can anyone shed any light on this, even after googling it I'm kinda lost at how bad it is.

TXBILLSFAN Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I concur! A caller to his show tried to tell him how Cam Newton and Russell Wilson benefited from having excellent defenses. Schoop shot him down and said that Newton and Wilson's teams were winning because they have "great" QB play. Really? How "great" was Cam last year/earlier in the season. He had some good statistical games, but his team's still lost. Schoop can say what he wants about how he's not impressed with Manuel, but if he really paid attention to the "young" man he should be able to see he has the "clutch" factor in him. Whenever his teams were down in certain situations EJ produced. Do I have to mention the Panthers game? Or the first meeting with the Pats? And lately the Falcons game! Like I've been saying all year long, continue building a dominating defense against both the run and pass and keep Manuel healthy you will see a playoff team in Buffalo! I stopped listening to him entirely about a year ago --- I only listen to Simon in the am and Murph podcasts and a bit of Sabre talk ---- but was stuck on channel after Bills end of year presser ---- he really doesn't belong on an all sports format station ---- there's gotta be guys on this board that would be more knowledgeable and entertaining --- maybe that's a topic to post --- who on this board should replace Schopp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I'm ignorant of exactly what is Hairston's injury and can he comeback. Can anyone shed any light on this, even after googling it I'm kinda lost at how bad it is. ive asked a few times - i think only vague information exists in the public currently.

TXBILLSFAN Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I won't buy or trust anything that comes out of Brandon's MOUTH ! . . . I only look at actions here forward --- (1) What will he do with Toronto series ? (disappointed media didn't dig deeper into this question at presser, why not ask "Russ, with all due respect, you were instrumental in creating the TOR series, negotiated it, have watched each game, last year extended the series, what information are you lacking in your self-proclaimed, "we will look into it" comment in order to determine if this series should continue ? --- "do you personally think the TOR series gives this team a "true" HOME game ? ---"what if team had missed playoffs by one game ?" --- (2) CAP (again, disappointed no media member asked Russ his strategy on CAP and how that is inherently inconsistent with providing all resources necessary to WIN --- (2a) What happens with Byrd -- if he bolts for another losing team for $8M/year, then he was all about money --- if he leaves for a contender (say Philly, Chic, Cincy, Ariz) -- then he makes statement that he (Byrd) has NO FAITH in this FO/Team --- (3) What team does with "losing culture" -- will Crossman be fired (I'm hoping Marrone tells his friend to find another job and they announce in a few weeks that Crossman is resigning to go be HC at some small college ---- what players are released/traded to change culture --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I found it interesting when Marrone slipped up in his answer about the OL. He started to say that they would be upgrading the OL.....then quickly reverted to the standard "become more consistent" and "develop the talent we have" answer. Though no real surprise, I am expecting we get a FA OL upgrade.....or maybe the draft. Edited December 31, 2013 by Dibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
