I know it's only the 1st preseason game (out of 5), but still feel the excitement of football be back. I feel the young Bills are going to want to make a statement tonight, so hopefully we see a somewhat entertaining game.
It's been to damn long.

How much playing time are the starters supposed to see?

Gameday!
Been too long!
COMING SOON...
Shouldn't even be 1 series, but I'd say 1 or 2.
As Yard beat me to it, the main thing is pray for no injuries. I don't care if it's EJ or Bobby Felder.

I think Marrone has said EJ will play well into the 1st Quarter. I imagine the starters will mimic.
Older I get, more I find I enjoy the preseason even, Football !
There shall be moans of horror, or trumpets of glee as we try and decipher every little happening. OMG Manuel is 0-1 ! Watkins dropped a ball ! Spikes made a tackle ! Jebediah Anonymous looks like a defensive terror ! 1452 Williams looked tough ! We're going 12-4 ! We're going 3-13 ! Marrone looked confused ! Marrone looked brilliant !
It's football again !
EJ playing a quarter makes sense. Barring injuries, this extra ps game should help the club sort out their roster.

As long as they take him out when the start substituting O-linemen I don't want to see him getting killed because some rookie who hasn't had a lot of reps misses an assignment.
Never been so excited for a Bills game before, lol. Football is back baby!!!

Speaking of the OL, there will be a new rule instituted. Here are CIN LT Whitworth's comments
..."The NFL officials who worked the last couple of Bengals’ practices while briefing the club on this year’s points of emphasis have left the building. But before Saturday’s Family Day practice left tackle Andrew Whitworth was still wondering how they can officiate in the offensive line a rule change that stipulates any kind of contact to the face is a foul instead of hands to the face for a prolonged time.
“I asked them why the rule change was made and they said for safety and physical advantage and I’ve got two problems with that,” Whitworth said. The first problem he sees is defensive line technique that teaches linemen to swat away the hands of the offensive linemen. If the O-lineman’s hands are swatted into the D-lineman’s face, there has been no intention of trying to get an advantage.
But what really bothers Whitworth is the new breed of pass rusher that uses their helmets as battering rams. He compared it to last year’s rule change that prevented running backs from hitting defenders with the crown of their helmets while outside the tackle box. “It’s the same exact thing,” Whitworth said. “The James Harrisons and the shorter more powerful rushers, that’s all they do is drop their helmet and use it as a weapon. Now you’re putting me in a physical disadvantage because now if I can’t stick my hand out and stop somebody who’s dropping the crown of the helmet on me, I have to just eat it in the face.
"Look at O-lineman’s concussions, that’s where they come from, the crowning of the helmet. If we’re going to protect defensive players from the crowning of running backs’ helmets, then why aren’t you going to protect the offensive line from the crowning off defense’s helmets?”...

This the longest EJ has been healthy?
The last 2 days have been the longest that you haven't posted something stupid, oh well that's over now.
