One day after some atrocious quarterback performances in minicamp 11-on-11 drills, Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan decided his offense needed a little help.
So on Thursday, during the team’s final workout of the offseason, he kept his starting defensive line (as well as most of the rest of the No. 1 unit) off the field in full team sessions.
As a result, the passing game looked significantly better – that is, at least for EJ Manuel, who showed the most consistent sharpness with his throws while working with the starting offense. Matt Cassel, who also worked with the starting offense, still had some issues, and Tyrod Taylor and Matt Simms didn’t exactly light things up while working as backups.
