All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Forked from: Edwards and Turk are fueding --- Why no downfield passing game??
Anyone catch the Channel 7 "Sports Final" last night? Vic Carucci was on for his weekly segment, and talked at length about sources that said that Trent Edwards and Turk have been having a very big "internal struggle" and quite simply fail to see eye to eye on anything.
I'll have to try and dig for a link somewhere, but it was on the sports show last night if anyone else had a strong enough stomach to sit through Bills highlights last night.
I want to know what there hasn't been an attempt to pass the ball downfield. We saw a couple of bombs from JP but how many 15-30 yard passes have we seen since the SD game? Something happened to make the coaches lose their confidence in the offense.

I've been saying for years we don't have the receivers to do it consistently.
And in JP's case, he just sucks at the intermediate throws. Almost all you see from him is short stuff and bombs.

Vic said that Trent has confided to team members that he and Turk just aren't seeing the same things on the field and that he doesn't feel like he's getting all the help and guidance that he needs to be successful.
Vic also said that Turk and Van Pelt are a little upset at Trent because some of the things they're putting into

I'll give you JP but we weren't doing it with Trent in there either. This has been a consistent pattern since Evans resigned.

480 or 500 carries a year? even the greatest backs have never run it that much...the NFL record is 416. That's 26 carries a game. 22-25 a game would be fine.

Blah blah jp this jp that...is it at all possible turk know what Trent is capable of and does not want to put the qb in position to win the game on his own? We didtry that and it did not work to well...besides that mean longer pocket time and trent is built like a glued toothpick statue of himself and we know what happens when he gets a little tackle....knowbody is scared of us on offense because of it...

And since Trent's injuries. .
excuses, excuses. JP used to be the best at throwing downfield. It was what set him apart vs. the other qb's in the league. Under Turk the strengths of the qb's have been taken away. Wake up.
Re: Forked from: Edwards and Turk are fueding --- Why no downfield passing game??
We have one downfield threat in Evans. Everyone in the league figured this out after they let him run wild in 2006.
I'm going to defend JP and Edwards on this one. I keep hearing how during games Evans is open and yes that might be true for a few plays but it's not alot. So expecting any QB to know exactly when Evans is going to be open when most of the plays are timing plays is ridiculous.
Our #2 and #3 guys can't draw enough coverage to get Evans matchups that are favorable. It happened a few times early this year when Reed was healthy but the minute he was out of the lineup things changed quickly.
Has Parrish even caught a pass in the slot this year? Teams are defending one reveiver on this team and until that changes you can't blame either QB for lack of a deep threat.
