Yeah kinda crazy for a reporter to report an int but not who actually got the int. From other reports think it was Neal

I've said on here before the four practices I saw I didn't see Morris miss a catch

I find Saleh to be a blowhard meat head - first ep doesn't change that for me

- What's the over on the number of times I need to see Hackett grab Rodger's a$$ - So much playing to the camera - and nice of Hard Knocks to make Hard Knocks such a big part of the story - This is not making Saleh any more likeable to me

The houses directly across fill up closer to 8:30 - there are houses in the neighborhood behind that might have room after

Need to bring in Parker Schnabel

Morris was consistently good the practices I saw - and I think they love him. I could even see him taking Gilliam's hybrid role. I think Barkley is a lock for the PS - he had offers to sign with other teams last year which woud have started with vet min 1.2M but chose to stay with the Bills on the PS for a vet max 358,200. I think Beane signs another backup to replace K Allen if he continues to play in preseason like he has in camp. Also agree Murray is a guy you put on PS as insurance for Harris. It's nice to be in the position as SB contenders and good culture that vets will stay for less.

WFT was still the best - should have just kept that

A new backup QB would ideally be someone who brings something to the QB room as well

The days I went last week one thing you couldn't say was that Elam was not competing - dude was working out there

I also thought he would be a better option coming into the season but all the practices I was at last week he consistently did not look good. At first I was trying to give him the benefit of being new to system etc - but by now there should be some improvement. Preseason is going to be critical for him, if he shows nothing then I think Beane has to look elsewhere (hell, even Josh would have to say at this point that Kyle has sucked)

One other thing was the D was going off to the side field (out of sight of fans/stands) a LOT during the practices last week - more than I ever remember. Could be a sign they are working on new things

Honestly it was more pronounced at Fisher this week - esp Mon/Tues. Defense was many times what I would call smothering - O didn't have a chance to breathe. Almost like the O was being forced to play on a smaller field. A lot of it was defense was throwing kitchen sink at them right off the bat - dudes coming from everywhere. Was better showing by O on Thurs - at least it wasn't constant jailbreak. Likely a combo of O handling it better, and D dialing the exotic pressures back a bit.

I said in my practice summary yesterday, I didn't see Morris miss a ball in the three practices this week (now four)

Maybe he can't handle the bright lights

Knox drop lol - put Morris in!

Kincaid. DROP!

Cook wow - bursts out of EZ long gain

The kid was wearing crocs, which I think was the initial contributing factor. The 2nd fall was 100% panic-induced. It reminded me of the most glorious fall I have ever seen, also at the stadium - but in the opposite gravitational direction. The Browns 6-3 game - "Worst game in NFL history" - we were at the top corner of the upper deck, questioning our life decisions, and this guy comes running down the aisle, trips, and in my mind flies like superman parallel to the ground for like 20 rows. Spectacularly crashes, jumps up, and disappears into the tunnel. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life.

Teenage kid coming up stairs totally wipes out - hard - complete faceplant - right in front of us. Crowd "oooooooh" Gets up, takes one step, wipes out even harder. Omg. Had to look and he wasn't drunk . Good part is that it is downhill from here - he will never be more embarrassed in his life

Martin was booming punts

At practice yesterday Milano laid on the ground and trainers were looking at his right leg. Shortly after they put a wrap high on right leg

Uniform nerds losing their minds rn

Watching him at practice this week i have to say I got excited. Dude is a baller

Random observations today's practice - Rain stopped right before practice turned out to be perfect weather once again - Shorter once again doing JUGS early - this time practicing low throws by knees - then 30 yd over the shoulder. Never seen someone do so many diff types of catches on a JUGS - Refs today - McD no bucket hat today - not sure I've ever seen him w/o it at camp - Before stretches, period of half-speed hurry-up (oxymoron) for 1st, 2nd 3rd team from 20 - During this drill coaches were on sidelines with headsets - first time have seen that this camp - Dawkins, Josh and Diggs were laughing it up entire time 2nd and 3rd team was out there - Barkley has been 'stout' for a while, but might want to start mixing in a salad or two with his turkey burgers - Trainer with Josh again working on his arm beginning of stretch - think officially this is just part of his warm-up now - Diggs and Davis doing the 'Everybody clap your hands' dance during warm-up - Diggs kept it going after Davis quit was having a great time - Josh not much competition in QB races I've seen this camp - D goes to other field, offense doing play walkthroughs, ST drills - D has gone to the side field a LOT the days I've seen this week - maybe they are working on some new aggressive plays - Diggs throwing ball again to far stands working kids into a frenzy - Talley sighting on sidelines - dude looks GREAT - fit and trim. Labors a bit walking tho - Kid behind me after 23 mins "I'm bored! I'm bored!" - After family of bored kid leaves, two guys come to sit behind me to replace them. It was like a Bills-specific SNL skit - for 10 mins these guys blather on literally wrong/stupid on everything they say "So Keenum is still the backup right" "Yeah Barkley retired" "Who's number 9?" "Oh that's Keenum" "Where's the new guy Kincaid - he's number 83 right?" "Where's Knox - I don't see Knox - number 87 right?" "Singetary's gone - went to Cleveland" "That Shakir guy has a shot at making the team" "'We got that Harris guy from NE' 'Yeah- and we got their RB too'" on and on.... - Once again during WR blocking drill - 2WR vs 2DB with RB behind - McD extremely intent on each rep. I realized he might actually be more interested on the Dbacks getting off the blocks that the blocking and the RB making right read - 11-11 O vs D run plays - WRs running some routes near goal line against air. One route is a juke then comback to GL pylon. Diggs running it looks like no other - such precision and grace - WR/DB 1-1s goal line - Neal PBU against Shakir - Elam flagged - Harty slips - Sherfield v Kyron Brown catch oob - Tre vs Diggs Tre perfect coverage knocks ball down back of EZ - Elam tight coverage Sherfield pbu - 2-2, Johnson bros shut it down - 2-2, Alex Austin burned - 2-2, Tre/Elam vs Diggs/Davis - Elam pbu quick slant Diggs - Shakir win beautiful contested catch vs Ingram goal line - Austin good pbu vs Shorter - Diggs burns Tre on the same comeback to pylon they were practicing earlier - Ateman beats Ingram - Shakir vs Taron inc - couldn't tell if Taron got a piece looked like it bounced off Shakir's helmet - Sherfied beats Austin perfect pass from Josh to corner - Shavers nice contested catch - D back to side field - Offense play walk thru - WR more routes against air - OL drills - 11-11 from 25 - Josh to Knox TD corner EZ perfect pass from Josh - Josh dump to Cook - Floyd coming like a windman - Floyd is fun to watch - so tall and athletic and plays with his hair on fire when I've noticed him - Diggs goes in motion, Hyde has to match up and Diggs beats him easily for TD - Knox end-around stuffed by Milano and friends - 3 wide Josh fires to Diggs at pylon couldn't hold on - Sack Floyd coming like a wild man - 2nd team - K Allen scramble 5 yds, 35 can't hold onto short pass could have been thrown better, Murray up middle - 3rd team - offside, Barkley nice throw, run up middle nothing,Jalen Wayne catch down to 2, run for TD - 1st team - Cook gets outside for 5yds, AJ knocks down pass, Josh can't handle shotgun snap, Kincaid nice pass and catch in middle 10 yds, Beautiful TD throw to Davis back of EZ got behind Elam and Hyde - RB Davis up mid for 5, Dane blanket Shakir pbu back of EZ, - 2nd team (Barkley) - Murray nice 10 yd run middle, Kincaid 10 yds, Jalen Wade 10 yds middle (sometimes they seemed to reset the spot), "Johnathon" Kingsly Johnathon knocks pass down, Patmon TD - 1st team - Allen to Kincad slant too easy, Harty catch stopped at 1 - During this time Milano laid on the ground trainer looked to be working on his right leg - little after Milano was up trainer put a wrap high around his right leg - he was shaking his leg didn't actually notice if he went back in - Off line and some extraneous people to side field, ST drills main - Poona looks small standing next to other Dline - Settle and even Basham - 1st team 11-11 from own 25 - TE screen to Knox flag, Cook shifty run up middle for 5, beautiful sideline pass Davis 15, quick out kincaid, Josh scramble left Dane int - one Josh would want back for sure - 1st team 11-11 from 40 - Long incompletion Davis Elam coverage, Elam int - Left before last few mins of practice - In general offense seemed to have a little more room to breathe today - weren't just geting engulfed by D as much as they were previous 2 days - D might have dialed back some of their pressures/stunts or Oline better or combination. The ints at end took a little shine off to me a better offensive showing than previous days - FWIW Morris has caught everything I've seen thrown to him last three practices - Was looking didn't see Mariucci or NFL network setup - Turned out to be a good practice esp after the dreary weather start to the day
