Mark Vader Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It is my turn to say thank you for the report Astro. I always look forward to your reports, and I love DraftTek. I have a couple questions for you: Do you think the Bills will keep 2 Kickers? How did Boobie Dixon look? Did he get RB plays or FB plays? Is Manny Lawson lining up at OLB all the time?

timtebow15 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I made practice and Manuel surprised me. Yes, this illogical bashing of Manuel needs to stop. You can see that he has the best arm and talent of the group. He's the only QB not consistently underthrowing receivers - the best scenario is that he takes the next step and wins the job. Tyrod is no solution and Cassel is just another Orton...if we are lucky. We should be rooting for Manuel to win the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 What concerned me most, while following all the beat writers on Twitter, was tha Vic Carruci just panned EJ with every tweet. I've respected Vic since his 1st go'round here and am thrilled he's back on the 'beat'. But I won't argue he seems to have axe to grind with this watered down 1st round pic.. Too lazy to copy/paste all his entries, but he was merciless toward Manuel. I don't get it either. And apparently Rex specifically mentioned Manuel as having a good practice after he reviewed the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I don't get it either. And apparently Rex specifically mentioned Manuel as having a good practice after he reviewed the film. It just follows up really what Astro was saying. Sure maybe that 11-on-11 session wasn't great, going 0-3 or whatever it was, but that doesn't really describe his entire practice. And again, who knows what they are working on play wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod is no solution and Cassel is just another Orton...if we are lucky. We should be rooting for Manuel to win the job. Carucci, Rodak, Sal C., Buscaglia, and seemingly everyone at WGR have all had this troll-like dislike for EJ Manuel. It’s beyond odd. It’s embarrassing that these guys are even covering the Bills. I get that fans are ridiculously impatient and don’t know that when experts say that someone is a two to three year project that it actually means they are a two to three year project. But when professionals like Vic blow up the internet with a stupid comment like him thinking Manuel could possibly get cut, it tells me that these guys are no better than message board trolls. What does it say about professional beat reporters that message board fans are providing better coverage than the paid professionals? Seriously. Major thanks to Astro, someone needs to give him a paying writing gig covering the Bills. As for radio, WGR is unlistenable. I tried to listen to the stream yesterday and had to turn it off. They really need to fire everyone over there. If Manuel takes hold of the starting job quickly then whats the reason to have hard core Manuel haters as your radio show hosts given that that is the Buffalo Bills radio station? Sports are supposed to be about fun and hope and all they got over there is EJ hate and overall despair. It’s a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 LOVE this thread! And trust this review more than media reports - but I gotta ask - how can Lewis be on this list if he looked thin and showed questionable hands, while others flashed? Is this a "most-noticed" good list, or does it include bad notice also? I "noticed" Dez, and he had a couple of drops, so he's at the bottom of my list of noticees! LOL Leaving for camp shortly.I live 8 minutes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he will update on Monday. Should be interesting. Maybe. Edited August 1, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys at WGR are just clueless. It's got to the point of being embarrassing and cringe worthy. I think Sal needs to retire his "QB percentages" schtick.
