when asked how many days of practice it would take for ej to be ready to start the opener marrone himmed and hawed saying something to the effect that if it was the thursday before the game that wouldnt be good enough but if it was 'monday or wednesday' he would have to see how ej was throwing and make the call
so really what hes saying is as long as ej can start practicing at least four days before the game he will play. so we got one week
edit: oh crap shoulda read the article first. well at least he didnt make me into a liar

I like this quote:
“Right now, he’s telling me he’s ready to go, but obviously he’s not,” Marrone said. “That’s the mentality of EJ."
EJ is a total liar, LOL.
If EJ is running around and riding bikes, he'll be fine to start wk 1. The only problem is he's going to be very rusty and that's not a good when trying to keep up with Brady.
News from Tuesday afternoon that hit the papers Wednesday.
I highly doubt Manuel will be starting week one against the Patriots. What is the difference from Wednesday or Thursday when it comes to preparing for the game? We're talking one day which I doubt will make him any more ready considering he is a rookie that's been injured since halfway through the preseason.
There is no need to rush it. We need him for the season and not just week one. Let Tuel get killed and hopefully Manuel will be ready to go starting week two.
