ganesh Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Saw footage of rookie camps from around the league and started wondering when we start... Per this Bills blog post, our Rookie Camp starts this Friday, 5/10. So there should be some clips and news this weekend. Hopefully no freak injuries. And then we go right into OTAs: May 13-15, May 20-21, May 23, May 28-31 Then only a couple of weeks and we have Mandatory minicamp: June 11-13 Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. The most interesting thing to come out of OBD post draft would be their ability to get it done on the Byrd new deal. The Bills need Byrds ball hawking skills and veteran leadership on that defense.
Dorkington Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Awesome, thanks for the update. Can't wait to hear some news out of these exercises. September 8 is too far away.
bigK14094 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 The good news is, they were able to land him by telling him, "Look, we have 1 set starter at WR. You'll have a good chance at earning a spot on the roster here." The bad news is, they were able to land him by telling him, "Look, we have 1 set starter at WR. You'll have a good chance at earning a spot on the roster here." ACtually, I could see rookie wide receivers on the roster opening day. that would include Rogers, and the two drafted. Risky, but what is there to keep over them. Stevie, Brad Smith and the Graham. Six is about right.....
bladiebla Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 First year players are allowed to participate at the rookie minicamp too, so that means TJ will be there too.
eball Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Haven't looked this forward to a rookie minicamp in I don't know how long...we could be witnessing the majority of the Bills' starting skill players on offense (sans SJ13 and CJ) beginning their careers this weekend.
Bufcomments Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 It will be good to get some reports about players running routes, throwing passes, catching balls, etc. Anything is better than rehashing the draft or past failures. I just realized it was 40 years ago this summer that I was at football camp for high school. I remember it like it was yesterday. Talk about past failures. Time flies don't it It's been almost 30 since i last played in college. But anyway cant wait to see Manual and Woods look like, even in shorts. This off season has been very interesting indeed.
Matt in KC Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 First year players are allowed to participate at the rookie minicamp too, so that means TJ will be there too. How do you figure? You mean TJ Graham, right? Rookie camp participants
26CornerBlitz Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 @darickrogers What up Buffalo !? Can I make this my city too ?!
eball Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 @darickrogers What up Buffalo !? Can I make this my city too ?! Why do I get the feeling this is going to be spectacular, one way or the other? Either a spectacular success story or a spectacular failure. There will be no in between. Enjoy the ride.

The Wiz Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Why do I get the feeling this is going to be spectacular, one way or the other? Either a spectacular success story or a spectacular failure. There will be no in between. Enjoy the ride. Because it probably will be. I do hope he gets his head on straight with the off field stuff but if it doesn't... well, let's just say he will be making headlines either way. Like you said, there will be no in between.
flomoe Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 How do you figure? You mean TJ Graham, right? Rookie camp participants I hope that kid from frostproof, fl, doesn't end up like the last buffalo bill from there
uncle flap Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I hope that kid from frostproof, fl, doesn't end up like the last buffalo bill from there What are the odds that's his son?
flomoe Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 What are the odds that's his son? With the amount of illegitimate children that came out of him, it could be a grandkid of his for all we know
DrDawkinstein Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 I know it's just Rookie Camp, but Im excited to see our new guys in action. Looking very forward to seeing Manuel. I remember when Donahoe cleaned up after the Flutie/Johnson/VanPelt mess and brought in Bledsoe, it was a marked difference just seeing a guy with a prototypical build behind Center, let alone how he threw the ball. I think the difference between what we've gotten used to in Fitz over the last 3 years versus how Manuel will look out there will be equally noticeable.
chris heff Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 SJ RW BS DR TJ MG Is my prediction... I think Brad Smith is gone. Too much money for a Special Teams player, he will be a cap casualty
DrDawkinstein Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 Anyone see any pics of videos posted yet?
