magicshoes Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have never heard a HC mention the GM as often as Maroon does. At any given interview he states that He and Doug are "reviewing film" or "in daily discussions" about whatever. Certainly not showing that He's in charge. I'm sure the players pick up on the lack of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokinES3 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Where does everyone find these post game pressers??? WGR app on your smartphone my man. I have never heard a HC mention the GM as often as Maroon does. At any given interview he states that He and Doug are "reviewing film" or "in daily discussions" about whatever. Certainly not showing that He's in charge. I'm sure the players pick up on the lack of confidence. That's a very interesting point. I agree, you don't hear head coaches reference the GM very often generally. Nice post. During his post game interview tonight, I believe I heard Marrone admit that this team is not very good. I was thinking ...Wow! This guy is being brutally honest. He was saying how the receivers need to make hard catches to help EJ. I think that is an obvious admission that he is not as faithful in EJ's talent as he otherwise pretends to be. Man i don't like how this season is starting to look. Maybe I am reading too much into this...... I believe he said they weren't "good enough" to withstand penalties and drops. Mistakes basically.

I'm sure the players pick up on the lack of confidence. I wouldn't read too much into that. Deciding to cut a guy from the squad or bring a new guy in is a joint decision typically made by both the coach and the GM. So, with as much player turnover as this team has had in the last 2 seasons, it is no wonder that Whaley gets mentioned a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 WGR app on your smartphone my man. That's a very interesting point. I agree, you don't hear head coaches reference the GM very often generally. Nice post. Actually it's a ridiculous point. GM and coaches in the NFL talk every single day at length at this time of year about every position and player. If they are not talking to each other it's a far bigger problem. The GM, unless you are a superstar coach, is responsible for the roster. Whaley is responsible for who stays and who goes on the Bills and Marrone tells Whaley what he thinks. Marrone and him talk all day every day about it, and should, and Whaley has the final say. That's his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just haven't heard other coaches mention the GM quite so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Why would our moron HC play a QB that has been here for 3 days for most of this game? Yes it is a meaningless preseason game, however you are trying to develop Jeff Tuel - why not let him play a couple of quarters? One more game wouldn't help Tuel much whereas Palmer needed all the reps he could get. Marrone is coaching scared. Afraid if he puts Tuel in and TUel stinks up the joint that it will be a poor reflection on him. Whoever decided not to get a veteran QB backup this off-season made a HUGE error. Any why was Watkins in the game. He was barley hit. Clearly his ribs were not healthy enough for him to be playing. This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 My first doubts about Marrone came five minutes into the home opener last year when he called for a review so that it would be called a fumble - when we didn't even recover the fumble!

Dean Cain Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'd rather listen to Nickelback than listen to Doug "Obviously" Moron, umm Marrone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that breakdown of the HC/GM relationship and the division of roster responsibility. Historically, the frequency with which he mentions Whaley's name to the media was the point. It's been quite often, not just in preseason. Is the loss of Thad and subsequent temporary promotion of your favorite QB on the roster bringing you down a bit? We're here to help.
