Heitz Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 FWIW, Robert Woods is going to be on Sirius NFL in the next hour - I'll post comments if work hasn't interrupted the first day of Bills workouts!
The Tomcat Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 It is a big day. The players finally get to talk with Rex and Roman. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Hell Id be excited if I heard they were all getting together for coffee at this point. Told my son this year's going to be different and he came back with the that's what you said the last few years response as well.
eball Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Sammy Watkins: "Good vibe from every coach that spoke today that's what this team need"
Not at the table Karlos Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 That had to hurt. lol. to be fair, its kind of a silly day to be worked up for.... first day of any activity as a team in 3 months is reason to celebrate
eball Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 When asked by reporters if Marrone leaving was the best thing to happen to EJ: "God works in mysterious ways" with a big grin.
YoloinOhio Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 @SalSports: #Bills Stephon Gilmore plans on being back in Buffalo this weekend, in time for next week's conditioning sessions after the birth of his son When asked by reporters if Marrone leaving was the best thing to happen to EJ: "God works in mysterious ways" with a big grin.wowza
Dorkington Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 When asked by reporters if Marrone leaving was the best thing to happen to EJ: "God works in mysterious ways" with a big grin. Please tell me you didn't make that up.
Heitz Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Woods is on now! Summary: - A lot of energy in the building, everyone is happy to be back, excited - Coaching change: How different does it feel? Rex (and his entire staff) has a whole lot of personality, everyone is vibing with him - What's the O going to look like under Roman? Lotta guys, lotta weapons. Scheme might change week to week. - How much to you know about Roman? We need to be balance, but we need to be one of the best running teams in the NFL (that's what Rex wants), but Roman knows we also need to spread the ball around... - QB Position: (on EJ) I think he's going to be the franchise guy. He was doing his job, but the add of Orton helped EJ understand how it's done - last year EJ was calling meetings on days off, etc. at the start of last year. He's struggled just because it's the hardest position in the game! Takes time to get used to. It's just a hard position! - Weapons on the field: (on Sammy) He'll improve just through experience, getting more consistent every game - How about you?: Just being ready to go! I know the speed of the game, how D's play things, etc. - McCoy add (what's he bring that Spiller didn't): Shifty, makes guys miss, catching out of the backfield - Footballs about change / optimism, what does it feel like in Buffalo? In the locker room?: We added Clay, etc., but you look around and you see guys like McCoy, Clay, Harvin, Freddy, our D - there are PLAYERS all around the locker room. Talked today saying "we can't beat ourselves" - How did today go: Did some meetings, did a little conditioning test, lifting test, started talking shifts, etc. - On Rex saying he wants to win and win big, how much does that pump you up: Always does, great to have a coach that believes that this team can win - we have a coach that believes in our players and that we can win. A lot of guys that know how to win. - How different is the new system (terminology): No real overlap, a little more "pro style" this year. Staff is full of great teachers, so we'll get there! Overall good stuff - just another reason to get pumped up for the season!! Edited April 6, 2015 by Heitz
Deranged Rhino Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Please tell me you didn't make that up. It's legit and amazing.

NoSaint Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 "A little more pro style" Whooooa outside of a lot of shotgun snaps - its an interesting jab, as we were running a pretty basic system. its not like we were running some heavy read option stuff or anything. i likewise initially read it to potentially mean "professional quality design" instead of the traditional "pro style" but that could be my own bias coming in.
Dorkington Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 So is this the day when the players can be given the playbook to study? Or has that already happened? I'm always unclear on how that works for new coaching staffs.
DrDawkinstein Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 outside of a lot of shotgun snaps - its an interesting jab, as we were running a pretty basic system. its not like we were running some heavy read option stuff or anything. i likewise initially read it to potentially mean "professional quality design" instead of the traditional "pro style" but that could be my own bias coming in. Our scheme had to be a step back for Woods, coming out of USC and the program they run there. That's been an issue with our coaching staffs Ive had to repeat a number of times over the recent years. I was always embarrassed for the franchise when they'd draft players from major college programs and have them come "up" to the pros but wind up going from playing for Saban, Kelly, Meyer, etc to being coached by guys like George Edwards, Curtis Modkins, Nate Hackett, even Wanny. If we're not providing better coaches than what these kids had at the lower level, then what the heck are we doin? How can we ever expect them to develop? Its only recently that Ive felt we've had competent coaches on D, and hope we've now turned that corner on the O staff.
YoloinOhio Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 @pecrawleynfl: Great to see this guy working out in Bills gear. Excited for the Shady Era in Buffalo. http://t.co/CI2MQTAVQK
