K-9 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Let's hope it's nothing serious. Irrespective of Williams' status, no Byrd until a week before the regular season opener as the best case scenario. None of my "Byrdometer" posts are meant to be taken seriously. GO BILLS!!!
johnnychemo Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 It seems like they're finally figuring out how to "cope" with Pettine's defense. Kolb mentioned that Hackett had changed up a few things (I'm assuming protections and hot reads) but I also think that the offense has become acclimatized and that the unpredictability of the Bills D is becoming more predictable after all these practices. It makes me shudder to think of how handicapped the Bills offense was last year by never being mentally challenged by Wanny's Vanilla Light scheme. I think this also might be an indication that the offense is getting more habitual and less thought out as they become more familiar with it, again a good sign esp this early into a new offense. I like hearing that Hackett changed things up, he's adaptable, that's good. Good point on the vanilla D from last year hampering the O ability to cope with an aggressive defense, I hadn't considered that!

You don't find many teams that get better by continually practicing a diet of plain vanilla.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 @RavensInsider Bills worked out long snappers Brandon Hartson and James Winchester, according to a league source.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Even our franchise long snapper isn't safe!? Apparently not.
chris heff Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Even our franchise long snapper isn't safe!? Doomed!

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 Here's a 3:22 video feature by John Murphy on Bills tackle Cordy Glenn. http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Bills-Focus-Cordy-Glenn-Tackles-New-Challenges/c9208803-8a91-49c5-9099-d4e2b00ce028'>http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Bills-Focus-Cordy-Glenn-Tackles-New-Challenges/c9208803-8a91-49c5-9099-d4e2b00ce028 Murphy talks to Marrone and Eric Wood about their views on Cordy and there's lots of iso video of Cordy in action in training camp practices.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 Saturday's Bills Roundup: http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/ Apparently EJ had another good practice and the Bills did a goal-line sequence featuring live hitting. The Bills scored 7 TDs on 8 goal-line plays and EJ showed perfect touch and placement on a pass to eligible tackle Thomas Welch.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 The Bills scored 7 TDs on 8 goal-line plays and EJ showed perfect touch and placement on a pass to eligible tackle Thomas Welch. Hey, I'd love to see the Bills dial some of those up in the regular season. They mentioned a second one as well, even if they didn't show it.
FluffHead Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 On Bills roundup it seemed like Welch was playing tight end in a pinch because of injury to Caussin. I guess welch was a tight end in college and it really was a heck of a catch The long ball from EJ to Easley was a thing of beauty
eball Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 By far, the most encouraging thing I've seen out of the first week of camp is how EJ does not at all appear to be overwhelmed by the situation. I think it was one of the O-linemen who specifically mentioned no sign of the typical "doe-in-headlights" look from a rookie. I don't know if I've ever anticipated the first preseason game this much, because I want to see that on-field presence for myself. The battle for the #3 RB appears to be quite interesting as well...I know Choice is smart and well-liked, but Zach Brown was very effective in goal line yesterday and folks have talked about Gaskins also. Might come down to who is the best ST player.

Might come down to who is the best ST player. Agreed. I think if either of the young players are close to choice they will go young. They already have a vet in Freddy who isn't going to be around more than a couple more years
PromoTheRobot Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 The bolded red part is very funny! Languages change and evolve. Up until the public school systems came into effect people used to spell things however they wanted. And new words are thought up all the time. Relax, it is the nature of the beast. Except in France where they have their own language-protection panty-wad brigade. PTR
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia12m Rest of the team is here, and no Kevin Kolb. #Bills Manuel takes another day as lead. I have to wonder, with the first live scrimmage Monday night, if Kolb misses that as well and Manuel holds his own, is the competition over? Edited August 4, 2013 by Whitewalker Merriman
26CornerBlitz Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 @JoeBuscaglia Players not practicing: Kolb, Stevie Johnson, Kevin Elliott, Duke Williams, Justin Rogers and Mike Caussin. #Bills
26CornerBlitz Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 @ChrisBrownBills Gilmore with a sick leaping INT while covering Easley. Watch it in Bills Roundup tonight. #BillsCamp #Bills
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 It's sounding like Manuel's having a bit of a rough day. Hey, the more lumps he takes now...
