"Hello men, We're preparing for Tyrod Taylor... Okay... we'll stack the box and make him beat us in the air. Meeting Adjourned."

[trapezeus]

you are aware this is how nfl teams prepare for the openner, no? i don't think the bills have a ton of film to show any which way they announced. i hardly see this as newsworthy or even a diss on the bills.

some posters are trying to be in midseason pissy form at the start of september.

[Skooby]

So the Colts will put a spy on him for containment, whoopee.

[feldspar]

Rex should have waited before announcing the decision.

I disagree.

If the starter wasn't announced, the whole team would have been relentlessly bombarded with questions about which QB is getting the first-team reps, what they think about who, and who they think about what regarding the QB situation. Announcing the starter stops all of those distractions, which may hurt the team more that keeping the secret would help them.

Nobody has ever seen Taylor play in a real game, let alone with the skill players that are set to return, so I don't know how much knowing he will start will actually help the Colts anyway. In the preseason, teams hide more things about what they intend to do in the regular season than most people think. NOBODY knows what to expect from this offense, and I don't mean only Taylor.

Some posters are always in midseason pissy form

I would deflate the balls. The Colts seem to have a problem with that.

[psubills62]

So?

[Oaf]

Sometimes you tell the enemy what you're going to do and make them stop you from doing it.

If Taylor got starter reps in practice, it would've gotten out anyway. And even if we rolled Cassel, it's the same gameplan except he can't run or throw as fast.

[Forward_Lateral]

Perfect. You would never see a team saying "We are preparing for Matt Cassel or EJ Manuel".

If they have to keep someone to spy Taylor, that's one less guy in coverage.

[Mr. Pink]

What's the difference in gameplanning for Cassel and Taylor outside of using one guy to spy.

It's gonna be crowd the box, stuff the run and force the QB to beat you deep.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Oh man, should we start game planning for Luck then?

[Ed]

Pick your poison Indy. Tyrod is going to slice and dice these fools through the air.

Right, one guy out of 11 doesnt matter at all..they may as well just play with 10 guys and still have a spy.

CIN@IND tonight. If Luck plays, I'll let ya know what to look out for.

Don't tell me, tell Rex!

Last I knew, his contact info was itouchfeet@sanchize.org.

Oh no! The Colts are game planning for T-Rod already! They have a whole week!

Wait, the Bills have been game planning for the Colts for the whole summer? That doesn't seem fair....

[Night Train]

Obviously, they are the only team in the NFL preparing for the opener.

The other 31 teams don't know when the season starts.

[MillsapsBillsFan]

Rex had to announce the starter the day he did. It had already gotten out to the media so there would have been 0 benefit keeping it quiet after that.

[Mr. Pink]

Yes because no other team has ever played a running QB and this some new foreign territory that no coach in the NFL will know how to stop.

It's why players like Terrelle Pryor, Kordell Stewart, Tim Tebow became such outright studs in this league cuz no one could figure out how to stop them.
