OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Do you believe we've seen the total Dennison offense through two preseason games? ...it's "vanilla time" as usual.....now IF TT can put up those stats again AND it leads to 10-6, him and Dennison are on to something....stay tuned...........

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Against pressure, yes. But when Peterman had a clean look he showed command and some nice throws. He had some pretty bad throws too, against no pressure. All I can say is the offense in the last 2 preseason games needs a lot of work. Fair enough?

Wayne Cubed Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 All I can say is the offense in the last 2 preseason games needs a lot of work. Fair enough? Definitley. But from the looks of things they are running a lot of plays out of the same sets. Asking Tyrod to stay in the pocket, etc. The more worrying thing is the OL. They are getting absolutely demolished.

Bangarang Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) I posted two images without comment. What do you think my opinion on these players are?You actually didn't just post 2 pictures without comment. In the picture of Peterman you specifically mentioned that it was against 2nd and 3rd stringers followed by a "yikes". The Tyrod picture, of 2016, didn't need any comment because it was good. You are clearly trying to imply something whether you actually come out and say it or admit it. If Tyrod's numbers against pressure for this pre-season aren't available then just say it. Otherwise it looks as though you're pushing an agenda. Edited August 19, 2017 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the argument is against second team players than put Peterman in with the first string. The eye test is useless in comparing QBs in preseason. Peterman plays with different players, against different players, even the play calls are different on both sides. To me the 2nd and 3rd defenses look a lot more vanilla than the defense Tyrod went against. That's not an indictment of Peterman, I like him a lot, but let's be realistic about what we're seeing. Peterman has developed well throughout training camp, he didn't look this good at the beginning. I'm in no hurry to rush his development by throwing him in the middle of a real game. At least give him half the season to sit on the bench and watch film, and then if things aren't going we'll see what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care about stats when it's a real game with real planning and all the starters on the field. Of course, had we won the last 2 games by a combined score of 84 to 6, the usual Kool Aid Krowd would be talking about an undefeated season. The realists would suggest that is insane as this is just the pre-season, and the Kool Aid Krowd would deride the realists asking if they have been watching the games. That's how this place rolls.

If the argument is against second team players than put Peterman in with the first string. why? he isn't the starter. they don't give reps with the ones to the back up? now, although very doubtful, maybe to appease the fans they'll demote taylor and allow peter to start the last two games. if my memory serves me, the starters don't even take a snap the last preseason game so they better do it next game then. peter is the back up, he wont be practicing with the ones and all this hype so far is based off practice. honestly, I would be curious to see how he fares with the ones. I bet it wouldn't be as good but hey, you never know. at this point though, there are some real mesmerized fans getting all giddy about the 5th round pick but history has always been that the back up for the bills is the star of the team. unless of course you're speaking of thigpen.

He's not ready at this point and likely will not perform as well as Tyrod did when under pressure last season. I'm also not convinced Tyrod will as well either. I think we took any chance these QBs had of performing decent when we traded away Sammy. I'm curious to see what Peterman will grow into, but it's a horrible proposition for his development to throw him in at this point. Pressure will destroy a career and he's not ready.

Maybe Boldin should have broken his route in but it still looked like a chuck and hope the receiver helps me. Petersen threw a perfect pass to O' Leary. A starter I presume O' Leary is? In terms of giving him time to develope. I get it. But this term " Throwing him in" suggests that they are forcing him. The D looks adequate and the run blocking is our strength. Ball control and D are this years recipe regardless of who starts..... a good recipe for a rookie🤔 Edited August 19, 2017 by Buffalo Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCBillsBeliever Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) He was playing against back ups in a vanilla system. He may be decent, but yesterday James Lofton on the Blitz made a good point that Dennison is forcing TT to stay in the pocket, focus on quick releases and working the middle. He did that pretty well. In week 1. He expects Dennison to have a ton of designed roll out plays which places pressure on opposing LB's especially if Shady is out side of him so he can pitch it, run it, or throw to Clay, Bolton, or Jones. Too early to tell on TT. If TT sucks in the first four games, I'm fine with a change, but give him a chance while Peterson learns how to make adjustments, read shifts in defense and can call audibles. He'll need at least 4-6 games to learn those things. Bolton? No wonder we lost!

LABILLBACKER Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Peterman could very well end up as the franchise QB. You never freaking know. But, Peterman could look like God in his rookie season and there is a 99% chance the Bills will still take a QB very high, if they end up picking very high in the 2018 draft.

Figster Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 When you look at the results from when Peterman is blitzed and pressured it bring you back to reality. In a real game Taylor can dodge would be tacklers and blast through the 1st line of Defense like he's been shot out of a cannon. Preseason is the time to work on parts of your game and throwing from the pocket is a must improve area for the WCO to function properly under T Mobile (please remain in the pocket) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing seems to rattle him. Throughout the Clemson game and what we've seen so far this year it's the one constant. He plays whistle to whistle, then moves on, no panic, and executes the plan he's given. I guess the expression steady under fire covers it. Got to believe his ceiling is high.
