Trent more vocal

[HHURRICANE]

Trent Edwards looks more comfortable in his role as the starting quarterback, and his teammates are noticing.

Edwards has been more vocal with his teammates, has been more apt to approach his receivers in between series to discuss things that may have just happened or just to make sure they’re on the same page. He’s also been more encouraging of his teammates if they make a good play.

“He’s matured as the quarterback and as the quarterback you need to be a leader,” said Lee Evans. ”He’s definitely a lot more vocal this year, a lot more vocal in camp and I think it just goes to show just how much more confident he is. If he plays well then usually the offense plays well.”

Thats's not true. JP played like crap in 2007 and it was only after the bye that he played better. In 2008 he was supposed to improve and he didn't. Let's get our facts staright.

Re: Trent more vocal

I like what I've heard from him so far, but I'd like to see it translate onto the field first before getting giddy over him. It's definitely nice to see him growing a pair and calling it like it is instead of just giving lip service.

Re: Trent more vocal

bills pr machine uses the same bag of tricks during the build up of the season.

1. QB is more of a leader now story
2. some scrub who is determined to make the best of his situation (usually Mccargo, but this year they played the ellis angle. Perhaps ellis will succeed, but i'm simply talking about the PR spin stories they do.
3. local college or home grown talent trying to make the team story. Roosevelt this year, corto before.
4. long term player who happens to love the area. "moorman"

these articles just make me wish the preseason was 2 weeks long at that the season started in mid august.

Re: Trent more vocal

It's never a bad thing when your presumed starting QB gives signs of maturity. Every player is different, and I attach no significance to any comparison with JP Losman or anyone else. Then I've also learned through hard experience not to assume there will always be a carryover from training camp performances into the regular season. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
