Pat Kirwan said tonight he feels confident they'll get a deal done with Tyrod before the season. They sounded confident on both Taylor and Gilmore...

Can we get Pat and Mills to report from Bills camp EVERY day?

Ritchie Incognito - not sure my opinion has ever changed more on a player. Great interview per usual these days. Said they're doing "Master's Level work" out there now, stuff they were just learning in week 3 last year.

Gs and Cs looked good - locked out any pressure that came their way.

For sure - still listening and there's another hour! They seem impressed with Tyrod, down on EJ (Kirwan feels he hasn't improved at all). PK brought up the LT and WR depth concerns again, but that's about it. There's been a lot of talk about this being the second year and everyone being much more comfortable. Really good interview with Corey Graham. Our O linemen run faster than the Pats guys that have to run laps! Mills just called it a "very productive practice" and they'll get better. Tyrod is going to be on live...

Kirwan and Miller just praised Striker, said he's an undrafted guy that could make the team

Really good interview with Rex - said A Williams could be a top S in the league, that Gilmore is the best player on the field, talked about the "largest staff in the NFL" saying that if we have an opportunity to get better we will. Said Reed will be a HQ in 5 years - he's what teams want these days and has a presence about him.

Rex on now - but so were my chicken tacos, soooo... Kirwan did just say he watched Bills tape and Shady played GREAT last year.

Need to find a #3 WR, or hit the FA market in a couple weeks. Have good depth at RB. J Willams could be a thumper... Whaley on next. On Reggie: Always looking to get better - talked about the Pony O with Shady and Reggie in the backfield On QB: We HAVE our guy, everyone knows that and is working to get better. Second year in D system and with the staff having knowledge of players, D will be better. Kirwan talked to players who said it seems much easier to grasp and feels way more natural. Tyrod talks - lines open, hoping we can get to a resolution that makes both sides comfortable... On Dez Lewis - he made the biggest jump from year 1 to year 2. Very exciting prospect, wants to see it in a game. On Ragland: He's a throw back guy - physical. Will transition easy because Alabama's D is close to Rex's. Everything that was advertised On Gilmore: Lines of communications are open, but we're working diligently to get it done. We have the funds to get both (Gilmore and Tyrod) done this year, or early next. (sounded confident, IMO).

Talking through the team personnel now, only thing to note was Kirwan saying we have NO back-up LT if Glenn were to go down...

As they say, IT'S ON! (FYI) Kirwan does not sound like a believer (at least fully in personnel), guess we shall see. Interestingly they said there are rumors of "Tyrod getting a monster deal." :gas on fire: Jimbo on now!! Talked about Tyrod's ability to use his legs, but said he looks to throw downfield. He can make some big plays that way. Kirwan just mentioned Dez Lewis. Jim said we have some good receivers on the roster. Jim said he's not as close to this team as he'd like to be - just so busy with life. But is open to providing advice, then kinda rambled off topic Taking old times with Kirwan! w00t What a great leader Marv Levy was - amazing. Proud to be a Buffalo Bill. Old Bills teams didn't do a lot, but what they did, they were REALLY good at. Practiced the same play, out of different formations, against different D's over and over and over. And he's out!

Dude, I was going to wait for you to post a link! I'll try to take a few notes - will be sipping on a drink or two and listening...

As posted - Sirius will be there tonight too!

Just a heads-up that the Sirius Training Camp Tour is going to be in Buffalo today and the show will air from 6 - 9pm tonight. They typically provide some good insight, though one year it would be nice if it wasn't just the first few days of camp when they stop by!

Thanks for the reports boys Astro, always great to read your write-ups!! ^fully on-board with this campaign!

If only it were literally, not figuratively...

1 Prime please, though if needed I can certainly go General! Just lemmie know... Thanks Hammer! :Beer:

I'm in too - flying down, rather than driving, so I'll bring what I can grab locally (no grill, etc. though). Also, why doesn't Buffalo have Uber? I was going to just roll that way all "weekend", but no, not happening. And I roll them all the time in NYC - don't make no sense! I'll bring the name tags this year though, always good to put a face to a username

Wait - there are Pokemon there in Hammer's Lot? I'm IN!

FWIW:

Whaley said MRI today and they'll know more, but initial diagnosis seemed like he'd be back soon - per listening to WGR, so no link. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Like always

ALL THE WAY UP! (anyone? anyone?) Let's Go Buffalo

BTW - I'm IN! Have tickets, a room (Canalside anyone?), a car and a dream of a Super Bowl trophy. Will likely be out early to have lunch, catch up with Hammer and the TBD crew (can definitely help set up, or at least drink beer and encourage ), looking forward to seeing everyone!

I was going to say - when the Bills write-up comes out, even with the "fan voices" unsigned, we'll know who they are just by the rationale behind the reasons we suck

His source was probably Shifter - gotta love sports news reporting these days!
