Buffalo Boy

The best part???? They aren’t even a cohesive unit yet. As this season progresses( barring injuries) they will get better. Building a team from the lines out? McBeane is on it and it is gratifying to watch. Also, Josh is a worker. You just know this cat is going to be killing it in the film room. His ability to read Defenses is going to grow and grow???

And Barkley has every bit as much arm strength as Dougie did with the Bills. Also, he can manage a game, which is what you are looking for in a back up. Build a good team around your QB and a back up needs to win half of his starts for short durations of time.

Not an NFL QB

Thanks! They had him completely strapped down, including his head and he was in the tent a solid 10 minutes. Scary How ‘ bout them Bills!!!!!!

Front row at the game Cam Lewis just taken out on the cart , head completely immobilized. Any info ?????

Will be sitting front row, 35 yards line behind the Bills...... roasting my Arse off. Tried to talk the wife into sitting in the upper deck where there’s a breeze and I can actually see the plays? The things we do for love.......

I only have the basic package ( $47.52 a month) I called and was immediately offered $12.25 off a month so $220 instead of $ 293. I’ll take it. I can’t get my LG tv web browser to open Reddit. It keeps telling me it times out. I’m looking at running a hard HDMI cable from the computer to tv and getting Reddit that way. The only problem is the streams can get wonky or not be as clear. I guess I should just stop being such a cheap Pollock and not worry about $200+. It really isn’t that much but I LOVE to haggle?

Ed and Star are going to keep him clean!

Less!!!! As I stated in the Training camp thread , they had him run an option play against the Panther’s D. He kept it and ran just off LT into LBs. I also noticed that the pocket they are forming really pushes the DEs up field forcing him to step up into the pocket. At the same time it is leaving him and out on either side. I think it will be a struggle for him not to take advantage of those openings. When the bleep is hitting the fan it seems to be a natural instinct for him to bail out. One good hit is all it’s going to take to end a season for him. I want to see him, with time behind a good line, figure out the passing game. It means a fewer wins in the short term but could really pay dividends in the future, both health wise and passing production wise

But it ought to be!

Cam: Can you make me feel good ? ( Halle Berre’s voice) Oliver: It’s gonna hurt! But that’s ok cause it’s only gonna hurt you!

Cam will never be the same because of the beating he took that season

Well I hate like BLLEP to agree with the inimitable Mr. The Law but..... Yeah, our receivers And TEs need to do a better job of holding the ball when it hits them in the hands or chest. Beasley is a pleasure to watch but he was the only consistent one I saw today.

You don’t HAVE to go to the EZ. The hill is farther away but if you have binoculars you can see more. I wasn’t the only Bills fan up there. Plus, you do get a breeze up there. It was 91 when I got back to my car at 11:15 so bring water and an umbrella if you have one.

I couldn’t figure out who the other guy taking center snaps was. I was thinking it might be Boetger. Couldn’t see names or numbers from the side. I don’t believe Bates looked good.

I thought there was a no profanity rule?

Went to Easely SC immediately after practice for a karate workout with a good friend so I’m late with these observations: Pros: - The O-Line looks good. Feleciano snaps looked consistent in the shotgun. The center of the pocket held. Long did not snap as well with some high and one low one. It seems as if they are really focusing on driving the DEs up field and having JA step up. - Singletary looks good. He sticks out. He’s quick and patient at the same time. We have a diamond in the rough at a minimum. - Barkley is the best backup we’ve had since..... Flutie. He ran the offense better than JA. He’s knows where he’s going, he’s decisive and he threw some longer balls that were perfect passes and dropped. - Beasley is just a pro. Having his consistent presence on shorter routes is going to be huge for JA. Before I do cons I want to state that it’s hard to get a read on D because both teams were being careful out there with each other. There was one big hit by a Bill which I heard but didn’t see because I was looking through the binoculars at the far field. Other than that, there some easy takedowns and a couple of decent form tackle pops but the Defense was muted. Cons: JAs accuracy. He throws high consistently. It’s not that he didn’t make good throws. He hit some slants and crossing patterns perfectly. He dropped a nice 30+ yarder in the corner of the EZ that was spot on but got broken up . But, overthrew a wide open somebody( again, forgive the lack of player names but through binoculars, on a crowned far field with players on the sidelines between, it was rough) on a blown assignment by a solid five yards. As stated in a post earlier, throwing simple five yard outs his accuracy was sketchy. Watching Barkley and Cam made it even more noticeable. - While not necessarily a con, JA doesn’t process as quickly as Barkley. I say it might not be a con because training camp is the time to work on mechanics as well going through his progressions. He seems comfortable holding the ball a little longer than makes me comfortable. He does have pocket presence and moved in the pocket a few times to buy time. That being said, the D was playing with kid gloves and we will see how that looks Friday. I didn’t see him get legit sacked. - Our receivers dropped too many ball for my liking. Easely dropped a Barkley TD in the EZ and there were some others that needed to be caught. - Jackson is a nice story. He doesn't look like an NFL QB . - Cam seemed to consistently put the ball wherever he wanted against our DBs. I was impressed by his passes considering all I’ve heard about his bum shoulder. It looked fine to me to the detriment of our D. They did get a pick on him on a ball tipped at the line( I jumped up and screamed to the displeasure of a hill full of Panther fans.) Also, one of our interior D lineman drove a double team back into their back up QB Allen and knocked him down. I made an ass of myself on that one too? In terms of which team looked better, I hate to say it but the Panthers O looked markedly better than ours did when JA was in there. It’s one practice so I’m not making anything of it but that is what I saw. Also, they actually ran a read option keeper with Allen which I was surprised to see in camp. Especially against another D and he ran right into the arms of waiting LBs who were nice to him. I don’t want to see him running that play often ?

Never been to SJF. Two fields here and Bills O is on the far side so fans only have access at far end zone . Bills fans are packed in like sardines there.Making a great of bit of noise. Im up on the hill at 50 yard line where I can see all.

Barkley TD to McKenzie 11-11. Bills fans dogging the heck out of the Panthers DBs audibly from a quarter mile away??? Panther’s wine and cheese cloud not loud at all

O line five minutes of pass pro at 75% speed. Far side of the field so hard to get names but NO ONE on the Bills made a fool of themselves. There was a nice stunt pickup where JAwould have had time and a pocket?

11 on 11s just finished. Both teams not getting chippy and staying in control of themselves. Newton his a bomb against White and? Allen dropped a nice one in the corner that was dropped(Easely?) Barkley hit a beauty to Sills on the sideline which he dropped. Foster went up for one in double coverage and came down hard but seemed ok

QBs just finished short slants , outs and digs. Barkley most accurate, Josh’s bad ones were catchable but all high except for one low one. Jackson is a hair slow on his release and least accurate. He’s wearing a knee brace on his left leg

Just reported on WFNZ ( CLT sports radio) Cam Newton will not be working out tomorrow. Also, R. Rivera spoke to Panthers about not fighting with the Bills tomorrow.
