Yay - now get Josh back out there

This exactly

Didn't wait for the block

Put Josh in for the 80 yard bomb

Nice block by Ike on that one This could be the most exciting preseason game I've ever watched - with Josh yet to come

Shady who? ?

F'ing train horn

Nice knowing you Taiwan

I feel like through the first 25 mins of the season we have one of the top passing offenses in the eage

You can only hope to contain Streater

So will they target Seymour every pass again this drive?

Well for sure one thing Daboll brought with him from NE is identifying and exploiting a weakness on the defense

Who is camped out at Tempo? Who is watching the Pegs Jet to see if it takes off from Buffalo and goes to Buffalo to pick up Mack?

Wasn't the kid with Baker his brother? Re: The RV thing and Mayfield's comment ""Most places the rookies buy dinner, not here. Not the Cleveland Browns. I had to get my own RV" - I read that as someone made Mayfield pay for the RV as a rookie type hazing thing, but I don't understand who or why someone would do that - you would think as the vet Tyrod would be calling the shots, but that doesn't seem like something he would do I thought Landry's "F bomb" speech was cringe worthy - could almost hear the thoughts of others in the the room shut the F up and sit down. Same with Greggo - how honestly could anyone be motivated to play for that a-hole. He's up there bloviating and you know everyone is just thinking "Shut the F up you pretentious blustering man-boobed blowhard". Dorsey just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. On the preview for next week there's a quick clip of "Former first round pick gets traded" Coleman looks to be frustrated talking to a coach - will be interesting if there was some confrontation related to the trade or it was just some unrelated footage they threw in there.

Every time I see him I want to take a shower He is the definition of doosh

Are we there yet?

Throwing Billy Buffalo in as an asset for the Mack trade could be what gets the deal done

Too bad we no longer have that 2020 7th round pick to close the deal

I went to three practices last week and Foster is the one who stood out to me over all those guys. A media guy tweets something about Foster not holding onto the ball after Bush makes a great play to strip him and suddenly he's having a bad camp. What I don't get is the Reilly love honestly. He was invisible to me those three days. Also don't get Kerley honestly - dude is so tiny can't imagine him surviving in the slot

My observations - Tre White LOVES to dance on the sideline - Tre shut down Benjamin times I saw them 1-1 - Vontae Davis was really playing with an edge tonight - Rafael Bush stood out with big plays - Still can't get over how small Kerley is - John Miller looks like rectangular cuboid cut from granite, Star looks very fit to me - no big belly etc - If Cam Phillips is out for any time with injury would be a shame - was making some plays this week - Croom has also stood out this week - No way Taiwan Jones makes this team with other RBs stepping up - I think Foster is for real and makes the team - Josh showed some wheels on his 80 yd scramble that didn't count - They certainly didn't script this practice with excitement for the fans in mind - Reminds me of a comment someone working at SJF said in a discussion yesterday - they said McD really is much more focused on actual practice effectiveness/efficiency at camp than 'fan experience' - Refs definitely were in pre-pre-season form, completely missed that kid dropped the interception - what were they seeing?! Badly blown call

Sucks for the Sabres, since as an owner of two pro sports teams in the same city, Pegs can only upgrade one weight room. It's a bylaw

Had VIP tickets for this practice - after it was over Allen came over to sign at the VIP tent fence. While my son was getting his autograph, I was fumbling with my phone trying to quickly get to the camera for a pic - I missed it when he was actually signing for my son, then figured I'd at least get my son in the foreground with Allen in the background signing for the next person. He saw what I was doing and actually stopped what he was doing and moved over to pose for a pic with my son and Dad. It was the perfect ending for the day. I know these guys are told to try to be patient and accommodating with the fans - but that one small gesture really struck me. He couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating, after a long practice and facing a full gauntlet of waiting fans - taking that little extra time to create a special moment for us, when he didn't have to. I'm rooting even harder for the guy now.

Didn't see this thread initially - re-posting some of my random observations from today here: Went to camp today. Didn't spend a ton of effort trying to focus on anything/everything - just a few general observations - Tremaine Edmunds is huge. I mean like a giant. When the defense is lined up it is as if you are playing Madden and there some kind of new setting (GIANT) that makes a player blow up cartoonishly to twice the size of everyone else. It's hard not to look out onto the field and notice him standing out every time. It's like he's been CGI'ed onto the field. Between my son and my Dad and myself, one of us must have pointed to him on the field and said "Look at him - he's huge!" at least 10 different times throughout the course of practice - even just standing next to people on the sideline. It is crazy His interception was a great moment. A great play on the ball and he got mobbed by his D teammates celebrating just bonkers afterwards - On the flip side - I was not prepared at all for how small Kerley was - like real small. Honestly just seeing him today I felt I would be surprised if he ended up being any kind of impact player - but it was just one day. Still couldn't get over how small he was - for some reason I thought he was a bigger body slot guy - Foster just stood out to me for some reason - just looks the part of a real WR - Zay was sprinting full speed width-wise across the field for a bit. Didn't look limited at all - nothing on his knee. He was being worked hard by the trainers - part of me wondered if they weren't unofficially giving him a little extra sauce for his transgressions - This to me was definitely a practice where the old "defensive is ahead of the offense" was certainly true. The defense dominated in my view - the offense could get nothing going regardless of the QB/group. Offense looked pretty sloppy - rushed plays, dropped passes, only short gains when there were gains. Again hard to gauge at this point what percentage is defense playing well vs. offense playing poor EDIT: There was a portion of practice where the offense was running through plays with no defense (while the defense was on the other side of the field simulating getting lined up and back on the ball against a hurry-up offense). At one point I also wondered if part of the issues of the offense today was that they maybe they went deeper into the playbook and were running some of the plays live for the first time. Note also there was a portion where the defense purposely had two Dlinemen sit and not rush - and generally the offense still had problems completing passes in that drill - At times the defense was imposing their will so badly I told my son the offense needs to just air some balls out just to get the D off them a bit. One of Allen's last reps he went to throw a quick out and immediately faked it and pulled it in and took off the other way down the field untouched. We weren't sure if that was a called play or he did it himself - but it was obvious the D was really selling out going downhill all the way for this practice - None of the QBs looked great (see defense dominated bullet above), but AJ looked to me to be the most steady/consistent of the 3 today. Mostly a lot of short stuff - but that is pretty much all anyone could muster against the D. He just seemed in control. Allen had the barely missed flea flicker, and seemed kind of off rhythm most of the day. With the threes, you can see sometimes guys are not really helping him at all. With the ones, it almost seemed he wasn't on the same page/comfort level most of the time - seems like with the lower reps with the ones he also has to battle the unfamiliarity of playing with them. At times when Peterman throws he looks like he is heaving a soggy overripe watermelon. When the QB's are throwing side by side it is amazing to see the difference between Allen's ball and Peterman's when they are together - at one point my son pointed over to the drill and remarked how much faster Allen's ball got there compared to Peterman's - After practice the entire OL stayed on the field for a long time going through things. The three QBs also stayed on the field - Allen and Peterman throwing and AJ frolicking with his toddler - and wife . Off on the far side practice field two lone players went off by themselves to hit the sled. One was Mat Boesen - and he came back after a while. There was another guy over there that at first I didn't pay attention to - but after a while every once in a while I would look over and it was ridiculous he was still over there by himself just punishing a sled over and over - and I looked closer and saw his number was twenty something and I'm like wait - is that a friggin DB? It was number 21 in your programs. Poyer must have been over there by himself for a good 15 minutes just launching himself into a sled. After a bit, Siran Neal went over to join him - then they eventually quit. Seeing Poyer do that today really stuck with me - the guy was just killing it after a full practice - punishing his body off on a side field mostly by himself where no one could see it (it wasn't for show). It was pretty impressive - My son positioned himself above the tunnel after practice, and when Beane walked out my son yelled "UNCW!" (Beane's alma mater and where my son went to school the last two years - actually my son met him there this Spring) and Beane immediately looked up and my son tossed him his hat and Beane signed and threw it back. My son then yelled "Go Seahawks!" which Beane smiled at, but earned my son some quizzical stares from those around him in the crowd (UNCW Seahawks!) He also got Proehl to sign after tossing it to him - my daughter goes to UNC and now my son has a hat with Bills UNC/UNCW related sigs - There was a group of 20-somethings trolling Rodak after practice - they kept shouting his name across the field as the press was gathered for on field interviews - "RODAK!" - "I know you can hear me!" - and maybe threw a "Patriot lover!" or two in there. It was pretty awkward/funny - There was a female fan in the stands with a sign screaming for Poyer after practice. He was off on the other field after practice as I said, but as things were really winding down, out of nowhere Poyer came out of the tunnel with his shirt off - looking for the lady - someone must have said something to him about her. He jumped up on the rail and gave her a shirtless hug and took a pic with her. Was a very cool moment. Edited 1 hour ago by stevewin
