I'm going to take a nap now because I gotta work tonight and go to the night practice. Michael ---------------------------------------------------- Finally! The lockout is over with and so is the fast paced offseason. Now it's time for Buffalo Bills training camp. The Bills had their first practice on the new grass field at St. John Fisher Saturday afternoon. It's a lot different from prior years at camp. There are lots of seats now, fans can sit in the bleachers on the new Track and Field stadium. But they can't hide under the trees anymore to keep cool. The fans are also sitting in end zone seats and don't get the nice sideline action that they were used to. The players also don't have a whole 100-yard field to practice on anymore. They now have the field split in half with two 50-yard vertical fields. It's definitely a major change from what the team and fans are used to. As for the practice, it was a steamy day outside and the players didn't do much contact due to the new CBA rules. But it was still a pretty good first day, especially when you consider the team had no mini-camps or offseason workouts. The day started off like any other day. The Bills worked on their individual drills and did the stretches with their units. I tried to keep an eye on the wide receivers and noticed that Stevie Johnson was catching everything thrown his way. Marcus Easley on the other hand dropped a couple. After the individual drills, I noticed something weird. The wide receivers and defensive backs were doing a drill together. They ran a route and had a broom behind their backs. I'm guessing that was so they learned not to use their hands, but I might be wrong..... CLICK HERE FOR MORE:

Scrappy Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Jasper is a big boy & moving people off the ball, you gotta love that. Aaron Williams sounds like a gamer, that's what we need with Byrd back there.

Great stuff for Bills fans, especially those of us who are out of state.
PromoTheRobot Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 This is what WGR is supposed to be doing, but I guess it gets in the way of their comedy movie drafts. PTR
yall Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 This is what WGR is supposed to be doing, but I guess it gets in the way of their comedy movie drafts. PTR That's not true at all. WGR gave an excellent camp report the other day. I was glad to hear that Sinbad is still looking good in spite of his age. Although I'm a little worried about locker room chemistry. Supposedly a big fight broke out amongst the players after Kathy Ireland kicked someone in the the nuts.
