  1. Man, if Frank Reich didn't have bad luck with his QBs, he'd have no luck at all. Rivers had a foot injury, now Wentz - wonder if there's anything in the training facility or the turf they practice on that contributes? I think the Colts need to start playing Country Music backwards at practices
  2. McKenzie improved a lot on his route running last season. By all accounts he seems to have taken another step.
  3. Coach Sal takes on practice: https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/bills/running-backs-and-a-skirmish-highlight-day-3-at-bills-camp?utm_campaign=sharebutton&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=WGRAM More detail on the Oliver-Brown skuffle: Kumerow and Gentry impress: Sal says Rachad Wildgoose looks good. I can't remember who said it, but earlier someone else said UDFA Oliajah Griffen looked ahead of him.
  4. That's cool, but if this is to simulate weaving through blockers/pass rushers then hitting the checkdown to the RB off to his left, he may need to arc it over a standing Trubisky - it was commented in several game film cilps last season that there were some balls an incoming rusher was able to get a hand on and deflect that could have been completions if thrown with more arc. Right now, I'll take just thinking about and attempting the checkdown though.
  5. I'm betting every one of those reporters has a cell phone with a microphone, and likely a headset or earbuds with a microphone, and if anyone doesn't the Bills could easily supply a "loaner phone" or two to ensure equitable access. Very high probability there is software which would enable different reporters to be called upon and switched "on" using their cell phone headsets or intrinsic microphones - it's basically the audio part of the "Zoom" family of technologies. Everyone in the presser logs into the call, then is called upon in turn and activated. There's also older technology. Now, whether the press pool here opposes that because they don't want to depend upon a team representative to "call on" them, or whether the same media team that comes up with slick content like the "Queen City Gambit", the "Process Juice" skateboard, the Nick Wright/Ravens Film mashup, or even the recent Beane Birthday segue can't manage to figure this out, I can't tell you. Maybe @john wawrow @Matt Parrino or @JoshBarnett would be willing to give us some background here.
  6. I think all these NFL guys are exceptional athletes. Remember Poyer was drafted in MLB as well. Dawkins said about Allen that he could have gone pro in just about any sport with the right coaching. Still pretty amazing that Poyer got so good without lessons.
  7. The 18th hole bar traditions say that you're not alone. I kind of had that thought when I read golf was a place where he could "Be myself, have my own thoughts": "you mean, as opposed to echoing Rachel's?"
  8. It was reported yesterday and discussed in yesterday's practice thread. Back injury. Day-to-day.
  9. Probably neither. It may mean despite the Day to Day designation, the Bills think Hollister will be out a bit
  10. It seems like a significant stretch to describe him as a "former Panther". He never played a down for them, and has been bouncing around the practice squads of 5 different teams.
  11. It's not the offset language that shocks me, it's trying to get him to defer payment of his signing bonus. Seriously? You don't have to be a Financial Geniusssss to understand Net Present Value
  12. Apparently the Dolphins are having injury issues at WR: https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/sports/nfl/2021/07/29/miami-dolphins-practice-report-live-miami-gardens-training-camp/5413817001/
  13. Per Schefter, compromise was Wilson gets all his signing bonus, Jets get offset language. It's really not a great look to hold up the signing of your #2 overall draft pick because you want offset language in his contract. "Hey Zack, we expect you to be the Face of the Franchise and have a long successful career here.... but just in case it doesn't last 4 years sign here
  14. Glimpse of Groot and Epenesa in drills They both look long and skinny for DL
  15. Terelle Pryor Dude. Just sayin' Snow Game Pass for Deonte, got it. And yes, while you're bringing up the Cat Hurl of 2018 WR, Rayray may be included
  16. FML, why don't you just bring up Deonte Thompson, Terelle Pryor and the Ghost of Jeremy Kerley while you're on this drive to cause Deja Vu Despair?
  17. I get it, my point is if we're talking who gets poached, of the 4 you named I think McKenzie has more poachability as he's actually shown he can do it in the NFL on Sunday. Kumerow gets the "Aaron Rodgers Seal of Approval" Boost to his visibility. Hodgins is a year away from being scouted for the draft and spent the season on IR, I think he'd have to do something pretty remarkable in preseason to have much difference. I would put the "gets snapped up on waivers if cut" order for the 4 of them McKenzie, Kumerow, Stevenson, Hodgins JM(way too early) opinion
