Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Why do they call him Trick Shot? I see I'm the 3rd person to post the video so <delete> So in other words, the type of throws that EJ reportedly threw at camp. I think the difference being that in the video, Tanney called it before he threw it. But when we had him in, he didn't look like "all that and a bag of chips" and we didn't keep him even as a camp arm, as I recall. He's obviously willing to work at his craft, though, so maybe the Titans taught him something. Edit: not with the Titans long enough to learn from them. I don't know if it's a good sign that as a DIII guy, teams keep picking him up, or a bad sign that teams keep dropping him. http://www.titansonline.com/team/roster/Alex-Tanney/c558bfc2-4e57-4696-925a-0cbd967982d6 Edited September 7, 2015 by Hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw a ball a hundred plus times and you're bound to hit your shot. Edit it together and it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Didn't the Bills have him in and pass on him 3 years ago? Edited September 7, 2015 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralonzo Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Those videos are all about time. Throw a ball a hundred plus times and you're bound to hit your shot. Edit it together and it looks great. That's what I was thinking but goalpost/other goalpost/crossbar from 50 was a continuous shot, wasnt it?

Best Player Available Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Didn't the Bills have him in and pass on him 3 years ago? fairly quickly too. maybe he is throwing with over inflated Balls now though. IMO the scouts must have some extra Bills Bucks they want to spend. i don't see any chance of this kid doing anything ever. except maybe throwing a salmon through a tire.

NoSaint Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 We already have 2 developmental guys - a practice squad qb isn't really any more than scout team realistically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 He's interesting as a 3rd string practice squad QB I'm actually amazed he has lasted this long in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Whats the rule if a pass hits the upright or cross bar and is caught by a WR? Be an interesting Hail Mary strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Don't be..he's never made a roster... Making about a 100k a year sitting on a practice squad isn't so bad for a guy who really hasn't done anything but make a video. I'd call that impressive.

BillsFanForever19 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Don't be..he's never made a roster... Still - he has gone to Kansas City, Dallas, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, and now (most likely) Buffalo since 2012. You don't get that many look-see's if there's absolutely nothing there.

Sweet Lou Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Whether Alex Tanney makes the Bills roster, or anyone else's roster; Why does It matter ? Let the coaches coach; Let the owners own. We are just the fans and let us just be the fans. And thankfully there are a lot of us. (Strength in numbers thing) The bigger question is; What do the disgruntled fans see in this young man that they truly hate about themselves ? Only asking, because old inquiring minds like mine would truly like to know. I would rather watch that trick shot video a million times instead of watching most of the crap on TV and on these computers only once. Thanks for posting the video "Rhode" It has found it's way into my favorites. And in closing; You can tell by watching that video that the reactions from his friends and his team mates, are second to none. They enjoy being around him and that really is the best part of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
