Dude, there are countless players who have had amazing careers who weren't drafted in the first round. You realize that, right? Teams pass on guys for lots of reasons, including idiocy.

 

Admittedly my post wasn't very clear, I wasn't trying to imply he may not become a great player.  I was more addressing  a number of posts that have implied the fact that he wasn't active last week were questioning, does that mean he's a bust.

 

My point was with as deep of a line they have, they don't need him this year. Most players drafted in the 1st round are expected to start or at least play a major role as a rookie.  EJ may need some development time, so he dropped, but the bills being as deep as they are on the D line are likely one of the few teams who can wait for him to development and not be losing much.

Lee smith inactive again today....  surprised!!! g=figured we would be running a lot today. 

 

 

They probably are going to run a good deal today.  I'm just thinking it won't be out of 2 TE sets.

So I watched the pregame stretch and most guys don’t actually stretch. I know they’re professionals but with all of the soft tissue injuries, why not do it properly?

I think it's more about warming up the muscles you're going to be using than stretching them out.

One thing I will say, and I am an Allen backer and I think his play has progressed nicely since the start of the titans game last year, but I would like to see him throw receivers open a bit more than he has been as opposed to almost exclusively throwing to open receivers.
 

It’s a little bit of an M.O. of the really good QBs.  
 

Most of you know what I am talking about.  For example, if you freeze the video right when he throws and you don’t see anyone, or the primary receiving, even open when he throws, but becomes open when the ball gets there.

Did you watch last weeks game? He had a number of throws where he threw with anticipation. It’s a marked improvement over last year and I hope it continues in this game

it's been a while since I read it, but I do remember seeing a study that showed there was no correlation between stretching and injury rates.  It was not specific to football or any particular sport though.

They might be following the modern sports medicine theory.  There's apparently a thing that stretching does not prevent injury

The modern thing is apparently to warm up the muscles that will be used in a functional (but light or no load) way.
