Doug Marrone not considering EJ Manuel recall

Marrone not considering Manuel recall

Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has insisted that he is not considering bringing quarterback EJ Manuel back into the team to replace Kyle Orton.

Orton struggled during Thursday night's loss to the Miami Dolphins, with Marrone revealing that he is also currently being hampered by a toe injury.

However, that isn't enough to convince the Bills coach that a change is needed, despite the offense failing to score a touchdown since the opening drive against the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

"No, right now, that hasn't crossed my mind," Marrone told reporters.

Orton currently averages more passing yards per game than Manuel, while he also has a better completion percentage and a better touchdown-to-interception ratio.
