The Wiz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Jay Skurski @JaySkurski Unofficial passing stats from tonight's #Bills scrimmage: EJ Manuel 5-11, 104 yds, 1 TD; Matt Cassel 2-6, 27 yds; Tyrod Taylor 8-13, 77 yds. So there's that. Cassel in the lead for sure. I'm also curious how many of TT's completions came from within the pocket. I like a QB that can move, I don't like a QB that always moves.

YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Lets just hope he continues his progression.....it is in EVERYBODY's bests interests that EJ wins this competition (and hopefully Tyrod kept as the backup) Something else to consider.....very hard to get into a rythm as a qb in this setting.......you have to take that into account. Defense has ALL of the advantages.....no game planning.....3 plays at a time.....etc etc couple that with who the defense actually is and........ the rhythm thing is huge.

Buffalo Boy Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Am I the only one that's pretty ok with the results? One of the best defenses in the league going against a new install offense, and the offense scores 13 points? I know it's not great... But I am actually encouraged.... Edit: typos Been saying it would take a while for offense to gel during regular season......first pre preseason scrimmage and the suicide rate might spike in Beau Fleuve?

Solomon Grundy Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 So there's that. Cassel in the lead for sure. I'm also curious how many of TT's completions came from within the pocket. I like a QB that can move, I don't like a QB that always moves. But Tyrod had a 60% completion pct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Not surprised he's gonna start first, most experience and all. Give EJ and Tyrod some more time to get used to a new system. Same can be said for Cassel? No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia My way unofficial #Bills QB stats: Manuel - 5/11, 105 yds, TD, sack Taylor - 8/13, 83 yards, 2 sacks Cassel - 2/6, 27 yards, sack Couple drops in there too for EJ, will have to go back and check on the other guys. Glad that he and Taylor got the most work! Sal Maiorana @salmaiorana EJ and Brown botch a handoff, lost 8 yards. On 2nd down, EJ fires a laser over middle to Goodwin, he dropped it Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia Then Marquise Goodwin drops a pass. 3rd down Edited August 9, 2015 by Heitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Bills trying something new? Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia The scrimmage is about to start. Offense on one side, defense on the other. #Bills Thanks, Joe. I was wondering where offense and defense lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 So there's that. Cassel in the lead for sure. I'm also curious how many of TT's completions came from within the pocket. I like a QB that can move, I don't like a QB that always moves. Exact;y. That was the thing all the Stepford Flutie fans missed in the 90s. Flutie was entertaining but lost his effectiveness pretty fast. Taylor has the potential to be exactly like that...except defenses are way more used to mobile QBs these days. If the Bills have to go into the season with Cassel or Taylor, it's another stalled out year at the QB position. Gotta hope EJ wins this outright and puts an end to the QB debate. He doesn't need to be Andrew Luck...if he's Andy Dalton, the team goes to the playoffs and potentially deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia Manuel had 18 rushing yards, Taylor had 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Same can be said for Cassel? No?Yea, a guy that's been in the league for a decade really needs all the time in the world to prove he's a back up qb. If he can't pick up an offense by now he probably never will.

Fadingpain Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Thanks, Joe. I was wondering where offense and defense lined up. I think he meant "side" as in sidelines, like 1 team (offense) on one sideline and the other team (defense) on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I know Cassel has the experience, but man I hope it's one of these two - they seem to be the only ones making plays. EJ needs to straighten out those missfires, but he receivers also need to catch the ball! Ej looks like our best chance so hopefully he starts, but he has always misfired and always will. Hopefully he can get us to next yr where we can the next franchise guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
