FluffHead Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Good morning fitzy. Good morning fitzy's beard. Did you both sleep well?
Dennis in NC Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Hey Fitzbeardy, thank you for the good work! It is much appreciated out here in the wild west.
Mike32282 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Awesome job, Fitzbeardy. I couldn't make it and I'm glad to get a different insiders view.
rpcolosi Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 great post... only disagreement I'd have is on how well you say Thigpen throws the ball. Granted you are at camp and I am not, but from watching highlights on BB.com he's thrown a ton of wobbly ducks. Obviously your sample size is a lot greater being there, but from what's aired on the camp high lights, his deep balls all open up too much (i will say his short/intermediate throws look crisp and tight). keep up the great posts, love reading this all the way from japan where we just survived another awesome typhoon!
beerme1 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Sweet! Thanks for the depth of detail you have provided. It's freaking awesome man! Fitz takes us to the playoffs this year. One year ahead of schedule. Rock on. Cheers
clearwater cadet Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks, better then the old empire sports network days.
BillsObserver Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Awesome job, Fitzbeardy. I couldn't make it and I'm glad to get a different insiders view. Thanks, Mike. I love reading your reports. You are awesome.. great post... only disagreement I'd have is on how well you say Thigpen throws the ball. Granted you are at camp and I am not, but from watching highlights on BB.com he's thrown a ton of wobbly ducks.

Now that I think about it - the throws I noticed most from Thigbeardy were his short to intermediate ones. They were things of beauty. You may be right about his longer balls not looking as tight - I'll pay closer attention next time I go. And man, hope all is well with you and yours over in Japan. Good morning fitzy. Good morning fitzy's beard. Did you both sleep well? The beard essentially acts as another pillow proving extra comfort and in turn a beautiful night's sleep. Thanks for asking!
BillsObserver Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57VvNbimZnY&feature=player_profilepage I can only post one Youtube video at a time, right? Like I mentioned yesterday, this was my first time trying this so I didn't get the best footage, this was just an experiment and I wanted to see how it looks..
PromoTheRobot Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 I keep reading Naaman's name followed by words like "impressive" and "great catch". I figured him to be a PS candidate or cut because of the logjam at WR, but he seems to be fighting to win his job. PTR
BillsObserver Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Here's the drill I referenced in my report, the one where the D-lineman do the shadowboxing drill. I refer to #97 as McCargo in the video. My bad. That's Dotson. Unfortunately this was the second time around, if only I had caught the first time they did this, you would all crack up over Jasper's first attempt. Just looked funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gaz3hF2_Qs&feature=player_detailpage
Welborn9 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Fitzbeardy you are giving us what the NFLntwrk and its coverage of "all 32 team" camps are not. Couldnt me more pleased with your reports. HERES TO FITZBEARDY
AxelRipper Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Everything I've read from camp has had Naaman as being incredible out there. I really hope he can make the team.
BillsObserver Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 One last video I took. I've probably said this a million times already but thanks for all of the comments. Naaman will have a good opportunity to shine next week (first preseason game). If he continues to play this way, there's no way they can cut him unless he's totally useless in the blocking and special teams department. That's why Donald Jones will make this team - not only has he caught a lot, he's tremendous on special teams and has improved his blocking skills against opposing cornerbacks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB_Lqg7pxgo&feature=player_detailpage
jwolf02 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Unbelievable report. Awesome work and thanks fitzbeardy!

HERES TO FITZBEARDY Amen to that, Fitzbeardy for president, or at least the Nobel peace prize. Really appreciate your reports.
BobbyC81 Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Agreed. I've been to two Practices and he stood out both times. He just knows how to get open. It's a shame were going to be cutting some good wide receivers. Since this is a developing team, why not consider trading L.Evans straight up for a position of need? OT?
