ShelfromNJ Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 What do you think about designing a few plays for E J to run? It would definitely surprise other teams. We could use the no huddle offense. It might really confuse the Pats and give a spark to the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 That very rarely works. That said, on third or fourth and short, or goal line situations, he may be a lot better for this offense to go in and run roll outs, or bootlegs, or read options, or just scramble his way for first downs or Tds, or even QB sneaks. I think that might be a decent idea considering that Orton can't move and we don't have great short yardage blocking. Orton would hate it but he can't move and he's playing like crap which is the only reason to consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 EJ in the wildcat. Run it a few plays vs the Raiders. Then vs the Pats run it once and then next time have the TE block down and then roll off the block and he will be wide open for the pass. Gray would be the perfect guy to run this play with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelfromNJ Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think that Kelly the Dog is right. I hope somebody from the Bill's office considers our ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I only see up-side, assuming EJ looks like he can run the plays well in practice. Are we concerned he might get hurt, that he might fail, that he might succeed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 at this point it's in EJ's best interest to NOT play this year. Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt Better to remain on the bench and be thought a starter than to play and remove all doubt.

Kelly the Dog Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yeah, because he was doing all of those things before he got benched... For his career, on the goal line he has been pretty good. I'm only talking 1-2 yard plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Monkeyhead Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Well kudos to the OP for getting others to reply. I brought this up a couple weeks ago in two other threads about the suckitude of our O....I had zero replies My point was with a supposedly "do whatever it takes to win" and "innovative OC" that they have had weeks to work on a few plays to keep the other D on their toes. It doesn't take a DC much to game plan for Kyle Orton, which leaves them more time to gameplan against Freddy, Sammy, etc. what's wrong with giving a DC one more thing to prepare for? EJ was touted as a mobile QB, and he's 6-4, 240. I mean, hell, we sure could have used a wrinkle when Miami, KC, and Denver were sending the house on pass plays knowing Kyke was a sitting duck.

Go back and read the comments had about the switch to Orton. He was not decisive, he was inaccurate, he did not demonstrate leadership. EJ only sees time this year if Orton is hurt.

Let's not be Cleveland and over think this thing. The last time we did that was to bench Flutie (the guy who got us there) and that hasn't worked out so well No one said start him. Throw him in for a couple plays a game. Different look, give a DC something else to game plan for, even if you don't use it much or if at all. Two times we were blowing out the jets, it wouldn't hurt a thing.....but it throws more at the opponent to counter act and work on with his players during practice. That's all. Didn't feel like we were "winning and in playoff run" when we lost to KC and Miami.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Because the no huddle offense worked so well when EJ was the starter? he was a freaking ROOKIE and missed a few games to injury . AS a Rookie EJ won 2 or 4 games in the 4th QRT, he also lost 2 games back to back because SJ13 and Chandler dropped / fumbled balls away in the 4th with a lead before the opponent scored on those turnovers!!! If you EJ haters think that the Bills will get a QB ti be an instant SB Hero I have some swampland in Florida I'd love to sell you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 So did Orton. Put it this way. Who do you think lining up at QB right now gives the Bills the best chance of getting a first down or touchdown from one yard away, considering all of the possible play calls, Orton or EJ?
