EmotionallyUnstable

How are people insisting KW is cut before he even plays a snap in 2016?

I want to see this guy rack up catches tonight. Not long bombs. Short, quick hitters to see if he can run the full route tree and take the punishment that may come with it

That's a good take on it. However he also locked himself into 9 mil, substantially more money than his previous comtract. I'm sure he wasn't upset about that either.

Is Gilmores wallet itching?

Pumped to get a look at the 2016 Bills. Hoping to see few, if any, skills starters. Can't wait to watch bubble guys like Striker, Mario Butler or Meeks. WR battle will be great to see but also interested to watch 12 gauge

Cowherd is a Pat fan, not surprising. Still, I lose respect for people when they take shots at the city. They don't know the people. They don't know the history. Shut your mouth, you haven't walked in our shoes.

From the second he was drafted, I don't think Gilmore wanted to be here. Then again, if you look at recent history of our resigned players, it tells well.

Why does Tyrod's Dad look like he ate some bad sushi?

I move to have a poll added to this thread. That way, we can just decide for him if he retires or not. That IS what we are doing here, right?

Whats the Signing bonus? Pegulas jet?

the safe play This makes me think back about the Clay restructure. I wonder if they were confident they could get the deal done and needed money this year.

Calling all salary cap gurus...implications for the foreseeable future?

So many emotions... ...I guess I can stopping secretly pulling for EJ (neverrrrrrrrr, muahahahaha!)

That's not snow. Our medical staff surrounded him with cotton balls just in case he falls

Thanks stro, thanks wiz. Great to hear all the thoughts

That's the spirit.

There is nothing you can do about injuries, weather and officiating. However, there is something to be said for attitude.

Go Bills.

im going to go out on a limb here and say that Tyrod/EJ/Cardale is a roster lock.

It bugs me they lost injured players. I understand why they do it but doesn't give any insight into the bubble guys. Clay, Dray, Gragg interests me. I love it. Gotta keep that Gilmore price down

cant get enough. Am I the only guy still thinking Gragg could turn out to be okay?

Maybe I'm old school but I think this team lacks a strong foundation of fundamentals and disciple. I know the rule change has an impact on each practice though it's possible they do more of these drills when in uppers or only helmets

FWIW, my thoughts on practice today: 1. Tyrod looked cool, calm and collected. Even when the pocket collapsed, he showed good awareness and was extremely mobile in the pocket. EJ, from what I saw, had a decent day. His mechanics are noticeably different, although the nose of the fb always seems to be pointing down. Cardale is a monster but I didn't really notice anything special from the pocket from him. 2. On the WR battle.I'm not sure what the Dez Lewis hype early on was about. To me, he appears to be jag. He is a long strider and is slow out of his breaks. He did not show anything to make me think otherwise. Although I've been a critic, I thought Goodwin looked on point today. He made a number of catches while creating NFL size separation with defenders. Hopefully the guy can stay healthy. Walter Powell made a few nice catches but also dropped a ball and jumped offsides. I wonder if special teams value will strengthen his run at a roster spot. 3. Ragland. First off, what a massive man. Although they weren't love tackling, I often noticed him near the ball. He dropped into zone coverage a number of times, but did not see him in man. 4. Schmitt. He really kicks the hell out of it. 5. RB rotation: though I aren't sure what it was specifically. It looks to me as if 1.McCoy 2a. Bush 2b. Gillislee 3. Wilder. I noticed the Twos seemed to rotate backs. I wouldn't be surprised to see these four on the roster as the RBs for the first 4 weeks of the season. When Karlos returns, Gillislee may draw the short straw. I saw nothing of note from J Williams. 6. Gilmore and Darby are an excellent 1/2 punch. Both consistently showed excellent breaks on the ball. I am confident in these two on islands. Unfortunately, our depth at CB seems slim. No one else impressed, today at least, IMO. 7. TE is a weird bird this year. I approch this position by trying to think about what G Ro will want from this position this year. With the number of motions and shifts today, I think he is leaning more towards a versatile player and less towards a one trick pony (thank god Matthew Mulligan is no longer a Bill). I like Clay as the one and Gragg second in. Aside from that, it gets blurry. Preseason will be telling. 8. Hughes consistently showed up in the backfield today. Not a flashy player, but I expect 10 plus sacks from him this year no problem. 9. I don't know a whole lot about our safetys, but I can't help but thinking that they've improved simply by having Ed Reed with them. This guy seems to be always involved in conversation with a man in blue. 10. I may be wrong but I think there is a serious lack of fundamentals being practiced. It could be I missed them, it could be because they are professionals but I am not noticing any of the basics being drilled. I was hoping to see home technical drills (form tackling, blocking, pursuit, etc). Anyways just some thoughts for those unable to attend. Go Bills.

I will be there today with a Focus on ILBs. Really curious/excited to see Ragland at work. Hopefully I'll have something decent to add later. Any other areas of focus people are interested on?

He's back!
