Why Trent should be better

[justasportsfan]

"I’m going to taper our offense to his strengths and we’ll do some things," said Schonert. "We’ll keep working on some things. His weaknesses we’re going to dial them up in training camp and work on them and hopefully he improves enough where I feel comfortable enough calling it in a game and he feels comfortable enough throwing it a game. And I’ll talk to him and ask him what he feels good about and what he doesn’t feel good about."



By no means is this a revolutionary approach when handling your quarterback, but to a certain extent it is in Buffalo. At no point during the tenure of Steve Fairchild, Tom Clements, Kevin Gilbride, Mike Sheppard or Joe Pendry did I hear a response similar to that of Schonert when asked if they would change their offensive scheme to better suit their quarterback's strengths.

But the approach Schonert is taking with Edwards is one that was used by Charlie Weis with Tom Brady and by Bill Walsh with Joe Montana and by Sam Wyche with Boomer Esiason. They picked the brain of their quarterback during the week of preparation for the next opponent to see what they felt would work and wouldn't work on Sunday.



Schonert is a straight shooter and seems to be a guy that backs up what he says with actions. If that holds true in his new role as coordinator I think working with Edwards in this fashion could bring the young quarterback success early this season perhaps more than anything else. Do you think there's something that could impact his level of success more?

Just hearing Trent's named mentioned in the same sentence as Brady or Montana makes feel giddy like a schoolgirl.

Re: Why Trent should be better

All things being considered...yes.

When you look at the amount of pionts we lost games
by one touchdown would have made the difference.

Will the absense of Fairchild produce that?

Will having a legit WR opposite L Evans do that?

Will having C Anderson in the Redzone or fine or shoe do that?

Will the improved personel on Deffense take away one from the opponent?

Will the weaker schedule do that?

Will Mclovin do that on special teams?

Will the guys back from injury do that?

Not by themselves perhaps but together ...yes we will improve on offense...

and as a team.

Trent or any qb will have around him what we have not had in buffalo in a long time.

Balance.

It is a good situation for Trent.

it is up to him now.

Re: Why Trent should be better

It's about time we got a coach... any coach beside Bobby April... willing to customize his box of rules in order to take advantage of the talent on hand.

It's good to see Trent will have that opportunity. I know of 1 NFL QB in particular who may have given up a big payday because of "by the book" coaching.

Re: Why Trent should be better

i don't expect Edwards to be Brady or Montana-like. Schonert is no Walsh or Wyche either.

The main thing that's good is Losman is pulling splinters out of his butt instead of doing what he does on the field which is lose games.
