YoloinOhio Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 3m #Bills GM Doug Whaley: “Our philosophy was, let’s surround EJ (Manuel) with a lot of talent so he doesn’t think he has to win by himself.” Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 5m Paul Hackett, former @NFL OC, is in Rochester for a few days checking things out. His son Nathaniel is the #Bills OC, lots of ties to staff Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 2m Last RT is precisely why I think #Bills are incorporating the Russell Wilson 2.0 Model for EJ Manuel. Very similar to Seahakws. More weapons Mike Rodak @mikerodak 17s Bills have also activated LB Randell Johnson from the active/PUP list %Ran DELL Matthew Fairburn @MatthewFairburn 1m The #Bills announce that LB Randell Johnson has been added to the active roster. Also signed CB Bobby Felder, released DT Colby Way. Matthew Fairburn @MatthewFairburn 1m The #Bills announce that LB Randell Johnson has been added to the active roster.

Bangarang Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Bills wouldn't need to be incorporating the Russell Wilson model if they had actually drafted Russell Wilson. But that's probably none of my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Duck Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Bills wouldn't need to be incorporating the Russell Wilson model if they had actually drafted Russell Wilson. But that's probably none of my business. The Russell Wilson model is surround your QB with good weapons and a good Defense. Most young, inexperienced signal callers always try to do to much IMO...

Most young, inexperienced signal callers always try to do to much IMO... I understand this. Just a mild rant regarding our QB situation over the years. Don't mind me. They would have still had to incorporate the Russell Wilson model to have been immediately successful with Russell Wilson at QB, no?

Kelly the Dog Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The Russell Wilson model is to get a (literally) once in a lifetime freak of nature like Russell Wilson, which the Bills do not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estelle Getty Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) He is a solid QB, hardly a freak of nature. But appears to be much better than EJ from what we saw last year. I will give EJ this: great or not at least he is competent on the field which is something we havent been able to say since our old pal Drew Bledsoe Edited July 25, 2014 by Estelle Getty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give EJ this: great or not at least he is competent on the field which is something we havent been able to say since our old pal Drew Bledsoe No, he's a freak of nature. He has a cannon for an arm, he has great touch on his passes, he's incredibly smart, he makes great decisions, he can run and he can scramble and he can avoid the rush, he's pretty fast, he's very well built and very strong, he picks up offenses incredibly quick, he had outrageous performance and stats in two separate conferences, he played major league baseball farm system, he comes from a football family, he's a tremendous leader and universally beloved by his teammates. He's a total freak of nature. The only reason he wasn't a top draft choice was his height. He excels at everything you want in an NFL QB, more than any other player in the league. (There are better QBs like Brady and Manning because they have done it, but as far as doing every single thing good that a player is asked to do, he does them ALL very good. Brady and Manning cannot scramble, for instance.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the talent and potential that EJ has I don't think that's asking for a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Guess not... Sal Maiorana @salmaiorana 1m It's only practice, but this #bills offense looks awful. There's just nothing happening. Balls on ground all morning Could it be because our D is one of the better D's in the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I'm back! I'll start from the beginning. @ChrisTrapasso: Before 1st DL drill, I noticed Marcell Dareus giving a "pump up speech." Seemed excited to be back. Exchanged loud high five w/ Jim Schwartz @salmaiorana: #Bills in full pads for the third practice in a row. Dareus, Branch are in pads, Randell Johnson is not. All 3 newly activated. #billswatch @salmaiorana: Another press conference with Doug Marrone just now before #Bills practice where he said absolutely nothing. He has a strange vibe right now Edited July 26, 2014 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) @RyanTalbotBills: @MoveTheSticks Hughes has a similar build to Cliff Avril, who did very well in Schwartz's defense. Edited July 26, 2014 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
