Bangarang Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Interesting that even after cutting Hopkins, Marrone is still possibly looking to bring in a kickoff specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Are there any punters in the league that do kickoffs as well? Seems like a natural fit from an ignorant fan's perspective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a very good thought. It would great to find an upgrade in place of Moorman and it wouldn't "waste" a roster spot for a KO guy.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Bills' Marrone said Manuel won't be a franchise guy overnight. Marrone was asked where his concern level is with Manuel, “We have to have people around him playing well, there’s no doubt about that. There are things that go on that are very difficult to see, sometimes people aren’t where they should be and it’s the same old story, when you win he gets too much credit and when you lose, he gets too much of the blame.” Marrone added, “We’re going to progress with him, he’s not going to turn around and be a franchise guy overnight, that doesn’t happen often in this league, we’re going to work with him, we’re going to stick with him, I’m going to support him 110 percent and we’re going to get him better.” When it comes to Jeff Tuel and Thad Lewis Marrone said, “Either they have to play better or we have to look to see if there’s someone that can better at that position. If we feel at the end of the day that it’s not good enough to win with, and we haven’t seen that yet, either you put a lot of work into those guys and get them better, or you have to upgrade that position some other way.” Doug Marrone on Oline, Playing Time vs. Detroit <15:03> The Bills head coach talks with the media after Monday's practice in Orchard Park. Pears, Henderson tabbed as right side of O-line After searching for his five best offensive linemen, the right side of the offensive line is almost set.

I almost turned The Tampa bay game off. not for the reason you think. i dont think i can listen to Ray Bentley utter another word. Sammy Watson ? He had A Dixon playing Safety at one point early in the game. With a tackle ! Black it out. who cares anyways. But Marrone is going to play some starters he was hinting at . and i do want to listen at least Anyone wanna bet a nickel Bills win this one ?
