Bocephuz Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) This single screen shot illustrates why Orton is a better option than EJ right now. It displays two things..#1 quick decision making... #2 making an accurate throw while taking a hit to the face. EJ would probably pull it in and do the reverse spin move here.

Kaz Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 My only problem is that you made the screen shots way too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That screen shot also shows why Pears doesn't belong at guard. Does Marrone watch any film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I like that is also shows our best linemen (you know, NOT THE OGs) absolutely handling their men, thus creating the perfect pocket stupid Pears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocephuz Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 That screen shot also shows why Pears doesn't belong at guard. Does Marrone watch any film? So many reasons Pears shouldn't be at Guard... but not having the experience to pick up stunts is definitely a big one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 EJ stood in the pocket and took plenty of shots while delivering the ball. And Orton's throw to Watkins was wildly inaccurate. But other than that you are right. Orton looks like HOF material to me. Where Orton deserves credit is apparently he changed the two point conversion from a throw to a run. That takes guts'/experience in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Look how open the WR is just past the 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 LOL Pears is still playing tackle (mentally and physically). I'm not an OL expert but don't you protect from the inside out when the QB's in the pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm not an offensive line expert but it looks like he was picking up the outside rush from a guy who was a step closer to our QB. Is this his fault? Who is the guy next to him that appears to be doing nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I like that he recognizes and decides quickly, BUT, that also caused the pick 6, since he saw the DB playing soft man, he assumed he'd have an open pass, but instead the DB was playing a zone right there... hopefully that's not a problem going forward, since it almost lost us the game. Other than that, he was great, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought OP simply meant he's clearly better than EJ, which is plainly obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Look how open the WR is just past the 30. Irrelevant. It's our new QB we're talking about here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought OP simply meant he's clearly better than EJ, which is plainly obvious. I thought Marrone settled this debate. SEE DEPTH CHART. They traded winning "now" for developing "later". The experts in the front office have moved on... So let's follow suit eh? That screen shot also shows why Pears doesn't belong at guard. Does Marrone watch any film? I remember hearing an average tackle will always result in a solid guard or better. Pears is just lost out there. Also what's the offense answer for stunts? There has gotta be a risk otherwise everyone would always do it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Look how open the WR is just past the 30. Does he look open when Orton has to make the decision in the first shot? Can you see if there is safety help on that WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Irrelevant. It's our new QB we're talking about here... well, plus we have no idea the help over the top based on that photo.... and you know, the qb having to deliver the ball before he got free.... and well, of course, having it need to be a throw he could reliably make while getting crushed....

jletha Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 How about this screen shot. Look at where Goodwin is when Orton throws the ball to him. This is from the twitter account of @yardsperpass btw. A good account to follow for Bills stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellDopeland Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Look how open the WR is just past the 30. The WR is, but unfortunately the RG has inexplicably allowed a DL a clear line to Orton, who has to get the ball out quick. Sooner as opposed to later I hope this staff figures out how to use Spiller correctly and that Eric Pears, who is teetering on the brink of Colin Brown-dom, has to be replaced. I think Marrone could ask his wife to borrow the dishwasher, roll that on the field, and get better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Does he look open when Orton has to make the decision in the first shot? Can you see if there is safety help on that WR? Thats Goodwin. If he's even he's leavin'. Safety is back there but oddly close to the middle for a cover two. Wonder if he was looked off of the expected a run???
