C.J. Spiller: Defenses daring Buffalo Bills to pass more

[justasportsfan]

"They pretty much put a lot of people in the box and dared our passing game to beat them," Spiller said, suggesting things won't get easier until EJ Manuel consistently connects on downfield throws, per The News.


"I mean, that's gonna be the model," Spiller said. "If I'm a defensive coordinator, that'd be my biggest thing too, is to stop our run and pretty much make our rookie quarterback beat us."

same thing as when Fitz was the qb. I seriously hope EJ can get better. Whether or not he does, he needs to have a qb - wr camp next off season. Maybe they can stay at Fitz's place in Ariz.

you want a medal for stating the obvious when teams have a rookie qb?

So CJ is that your excuse for 43 Attempts, 153 yards, 3.6 YPA, 0 TDs...
compared to Fred "We should cut" Jacksons, 32 Att, 169 yards, 5.3 YPA, 1 TD?

Nice way to throw your teammate under the bus for your own poor performance.

Different styles and skill sets. Fred is a really good RB in any scheme. CJ is only a great RB in space.

Chan got him into open space. Hackett hasn't.

How is he throwing his teammate under the bus by stating the obvious?

Awesome he's making excuses already.

His teammate can run just fine in the same situation.

All Day can run just fine with a QB as pathetic as here.

Suck it up buttercup, stop dancing and hit a hole. If there is no hole go get 2 yards instead of running around in the backfield losing 5.

He's blaming EJ for his own poor performance.
I smell a locker room cancer.
When's CJ's contract up? We can start *****ing about the Bills not resigning him now.

No I want people to stop accusing me of being negative only to turn around and say "well all you did was state the obvious" when I turn out to be right.

Already? Before, it was the coaches not utilizing him properly. Now, it's the other team stacking the box.

for the love of dog would somebody pleease explain to me why you dont run slants when there isnt a defender within twenty square yards of the middle of the field

Dunno about open space with CJ.

If I read these charts correctly, BUF led the league in run plays to the middle.

After 3 games this year, they still do.

During the game, I said to my dad "we must be the only team in the NFL that can't execute a slant." That was on a third and short after we got stuffed trying to run it up the middle for about the 10th straight time.

Re: C.J. Spiller: Defenses daring Buffalo Bills to pass more

theyre obviously afraid of the rookie throwing a pick under all that pressure but jeez when the middle is THAT wide open youd think the trade off is acceptable. any reception is probably going to go for fifteen yards at a minimum

god i wish somebody would ask the coaches that question. im dying for a decent answer. when i think of that game all i can see now is that graphic where one of the announcers circled the huge wide open space on the field with the telestrator, then it happened again and again and again ... with every throw down the sidelines

i erased the game from my dvr as soon as i got home from my folks house but now i wish i could watch that sequence over again just to try to deconstruct why tf they would do something like that. bugging the crap outta me

anyone who knows football knows that teams will dare rookies to beat them. It's no big secret. If you get a kick of saying "I told you so , I was right" for that congrats. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.
