Not. Until. It's over.

I lobbied for him all last year. He is talented.

EJ impressions: First few drives: internal clock a bit too sped up. Made the right reads (except for one play that still should have been a completion), but the throws were more sped up (and hence, slightly off target) than they should have been. Next drive: Pocket presence much better. You better believe someone just told him to calm down a bit. He listened. 2-min drill: Not much needs to be said. He was great. Takeaway: I want him to start. He has a very quick release (sometimes, too quick). Hopefully it will mask our LG spot.

Some very nice plays. Woods over the middle and the TD throw were great.

Is that sarcastic? I think our inside run defense has been pretty poor.

Buffalo is awesome. While I was born here (currently on my annual pilgrimage to Buffalo), I grew up in a surf town on the California coast and live in the Bay Area now. Places people often think of as 'hip' or 'cool' towns. Every time I come back to Buffalo I'm struck by how fantastic it is. Beauty, history, activities - I have a phenomenal time (as does my girlfriend from out West) whenever I'm back. I think it just has an undeserved reputation by those who haven't spent time here.

We know that EJ thought Woods was going to come inside when he turned out.

always look forward to these notes

Perhaps. Though Marquise has impressed the hell out of me. As for the OLine, I'm tremendously worried about it, and am convinced it will be our weakest unit all year. I'm concerned it will damage EJ's development.

OLine is far and away the most concerning group for me. I'm fully in support of finding a way to bring in a vet.

I though Marrone was direct and professional. I wouldn't have asked the "so is he excused?" question if I were JW, but I'm not, so I suppose that's unfair. Tim Graham's article is ridiculous, though not entirely unexpected.

Glad to hear EJ is targeting Stevie. Don't think I've heard/seen much of that.

Thanks man!

I assume that's correct, but at the same time any coach would want to downplay large differences in performance this early in the competition.

Just doing my best to f__cking adapt.

Many tweets saying the same thing. Buffalo Bills ‏@buffalobills1m Marrone: Mario Williams to be evaluated off-campus by doctors for sore foot reported to team staff yesterday.

I typed this, then deleted it for fear of jinxing it. On another note, I wonder how Stahovich is doing.

Mario not in attendance today (Monday) per Chris Brown. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2013/07/29/mario-williams-not-in-attendance/

So whose tweets should we look toward for live coverage? EDIT: I guess there's this official blog too: http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Training-Camp-Live-Blog-729/6c926557-fc14-4647-9300-155fddacfd1e

Nice.

Phenomenal scene. Mine is the ridiculous mascot at Stanford. I'm certain it's the best in college sports. It's awesome when we play someone like USC, who has a very organized and precise band/mascot, then we send out our dancing tree and 40 or 50 stoned and drunk "musicians". Fear the Tree...

Essentially. I find him unbearable to listen to, and my opinion of him as a host has nothing to do with his coverage of the Bills (because I never make it far enough in to hear him talk about them).

I can't speak for others, but I wouldn't care if he picked us to go 16-0 last year. It doesn't change how horrible his shows are.
