Bronxbomber21 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Just a quick question but is Gaines the same guy who held Mike Evans to 3 or 4 catches for 8 yards receiving back in college?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Last season, E.J. Gaines allowed a 141.7 passer rating on 72 targets into his coverage -- 5th-worst of the past decade (min. 50 tgts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Any time you have a chance to get a 6th round cb with 2 career INTs for a top 5 pick wr, you have to do it. I think I know the NFL pretty well but I have never heard of him before today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Last season, E.J. Gaines allowed a 141.7 passer rating on 72 targets into his coverage -- 5th-worst of the past decade (min. 50 tgts). He had a bad season last year coming off a Lisfrank injury. Was pretty solid his rookie season. Solid tackler, physical player, intelligent, better in zone coverage. Let's let this one play out a little bit before we condemn him.

First I don't believe we would have kept Sammy after this season , he wants to get paid and we all know that was not going to happen here in Buffalo , and even if EJ Gains doesn't work out we still got a 2nd round pick , Rams 2nd rd pick = late 1st round pick ...

Samwell Tarly Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Being in a system that complements your strengths can make a huge difference. That's where most NFL players are at. Only elite players stand out regardless of the system they're in. Not speculating on Gaines, but he has 16 games to prove himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know the NFL pretty well but I have never heard of him before today. i honestly did. I was watching the NFL top 100 one night and I kept seeing this guy get burned in highlight clips... Number 33. Asked my man who is a HUGE Rams fan who that was... EJ Gaines. He said that some people say that when EJ plays the receivers gain. Someone even calls him EJ Loses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best anyone was gonna offer for Sammy. EJ Gaines was just thrown in there so the Bills could feel like they got a CB back after losing Darby. If we didn't plan on extending him or were even unsure, the trade makes a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcoam Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Let's be honest, the reason our Bills got extra high draft picks for next year is because we got lessor players back in that Sammy's potential is way higher than Matthews and Darby's potential is way higher than Gaines Short term the Bills lose a little, but long term those draft picks make the trade a potential big win for the franchise That being said in terms of short term Matthews is no slouch, he is a top tier #2 NFL WR, or at worse a lower tier #1, and Gaines did have one good year, so maybe in the right system he will improve IMO Matthews is solid enough that very few of us will miss Sammy, my concern is that we purged every one of secondary starters last year, its a massive transition year on this D, and we might have serious issues with our 2017 secondary, and that both new players are impending free agents jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Great another EJ? He was on the NFL all rookie team in 14. 2015 was lost all year to injury. He's a throw in player anyway. If the Rams blow again we might have a early 2nd round pick. I guess you can justify it anyway that we weren't resigning Sammy. I don't mind my thread being highjacked but I'm still wondering if it's the same guy who closed down star Wr Mike Evans To answer your question, yes EJ Gaines was the same player to shut down Mike Evans in 2013 4 catches for 8 yards. Gaines would go on to make the all-SEC team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 of course the rams are going to suck. their offensive line still sucks, and Goff isn't going to have a great year. They will be 6-10, maybe 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 When is the draft? I think that is next meaningful activity of the Buffalo Bills. The season officially became a waste (I don't think I've ever been so deflated this early in the season, and that's saying something as a Bills fan). Well, the more we lose, the better these trades become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
