BuffaloMatt Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 6 pick day for Peterman. Breaks his own record. Fails miserably when he has to play against the other teams starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StHustle Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Peterman went the whole preseason with no picks.He has outplayed Glennon and deserves the backup spot. I for one believe a player can learn from past mistakes. Im certain he has studied a ton of film and has consulted people at the top of the profession about what he needs to do better. I laugh at the guy like the rest of us but I'm also rooting for him. I always root for the high character guys to be successful. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched everyone of his games. Guy looks just like preseason Peterman has in the past, really good. We will see if Gruden can turn him into even a below average NFL back up. Gruden sees something in Peterman. One of my favorite quotes from hard knocks is “lets put Peterman in, I think he’s a better player than you guys” as he’s talking to his coaches in the head set.

I watched that whole game last night and his passes were on the money. He'll never be a starter in this league but he will be a capable short term backup. How can you not root for him.

The Jets luck into their FG on a bad punt by the Bills giving them great field position. Bell is ineffective behind Jets O-Line. Bills play a running heavy game using all 3 backs to control the clock, esp. after we go up 14-0. Allen goes like 11/15, 150 yards, 1 TD (in redzone to Beasley); and rushes for another 50, but is smart and goes out of bounds or slides.

Sig1Hunter Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 10 hours ago, TheFunPolice said: Peterman has huge arms for a guy known for poor arm strength I think that “arm strength” as measured by throwing power is more a function of leverage and flexibility - the amount of torque one can generate with the throwing motion - than arm muscle size. Larger muscles tend to limit flexibility, too. Randy Johnson didn’t have huge arms, but he did have long arms. So so I guess what I’m saying is that maybe length is better than girth?

I dunno about leverage and flexibility, but I do know that throwing ability has to do with power, which is a function of strength plus speed. That's why a strength training program doesn't necessarily help a QB's throwing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your predictions of his performance is very Tyrod Taylor-ish. Twas not my prediction. I think it's gonna be a much tougher game than most think. There's a reason the Jets are a slight favorite. We're fairly evenly matched teams. The Jets have more high profile players, but I think we have the edge in several areas. All things considered, I kind of view it as Allen vs. Darnold. I'm hoping for the best, but certainly not penciling it in a a dub. Just noting that predictions are not a reflection of a person's dedication to the team. I know plenty of hopeless optimists who pay very little attention to the day to day goings on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the competition moves slower and the windows are much larger in preseason you don’t need the arm talent. You surely don’t think the physical competition is the same throwing against... anyone... in preseason as facing all pros in a pivotal moment? I mean, I guess you could argue that in key moments he could learn just not to throw any big league throws ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Element115 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hard to say, I think it depends on the Bills offensive game plan. If they come out passing, then they have a chance at winning.

They need to establish the pass and have the run as their change up. I feel like short passing that singles up our backs and Beasley against their linebackers in space is the best match offensive matchup for the Bills. Yes they should test the corners too but start with the quick passing game, expose their weak linebacking corps, get the corners to cheat up and then throw over the top. When you have them a little gassed that is the time to come back with the run plays and let Shady and Gore test them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
