@jchenelly: #RexRyan: Most veteran players who had not been here for condition looked impressive today. One was very disappointing. #Bills

 

He's on WGR right now but I can't listen

I think one he was referring to was the first voluntary workout interview.

“The thing I noticed with (Matt) Cassel, the ball comes out in rhythm, it’s here, boom, boom, boom, hitting it,” said Ryan. “EJ was impressive to me today. I’d still like to see it speed up just a tad, but he was impressive. Tyrod made some huge plays today. He throws a deep ball extremely well. You put him on the move he’s a dangerous weapon out there. Tuel wasn’t as impressive. There are a couple of things he’s got to get a little better at, but overall, I was impressed with the group.”

 

Now this is interesting "Tuel .....There are a couple of things he's got to get a little better at" So from Rex, evidently that level of comment might be kind of negative

@jchenelly: #RexRyan: On @TyrodTaylor - Athleticism a key. Impressed w/ability to pick things up quickly. Cam Cameron raved about him. #Bills

Yikes, wonder who it was.

bryce brown? Just a guess... Can't remember who else had been out

 

C Dubs would be my guess.

 

 

Chennelly said it wasn't Williams, but someone at camp.

 

Oh. Hmmmm.

Oh. Hmmmm.

from the Bills notebook linked earlier, sounds like KW, Lawson and Brown were all back after having missed part or all of the conditioning sessions. Sounds like Lawson looked good and so it must be Brown.

 

Running back Bryce Brown, who hadnt participated in previous offseason workouts, was on hand.

 

Defensive tackle Kyle Williams and end Manny Lawson, who also had missed offseason sessions, were on hand as well.

 

They impressed me, because these guys have been away from it but you could tell theyre in their playbooks, Ryan said. Youve got Manny Lawson making all the checks for everybody. Thats pretty darn impressive.

Yeah, no chance Kyle would be the guy.

I read that his wife had their fifth child sometime in April. Guessing he could have missed some earlier sessions for that reason.yep I doubt he was disappointing to Rex today

Rex specifically said about Williams and Lawson "these guys have been away from it but you could tell they're in their playbooks" and then praised Lawson especially, so no, no chance it's Williams.

 

He said whoever it was "looked lost out there"

 

No idea if it might be Bryce Brown, but as a practical matter for a guy who had nominally 3 yrs of college and 4 yrs in the pros, he has actually very little football experience.

I don't think Bettis understands what Rex means when he says "ground and pound."

 

It's NOT how Pittsburgh used Jerome...and his gaudy 3.9 YPC. It's how Roman used Frank Gore and the rest of the 49er offense...

I think what Bettis means is Bill Cowher's version of "ground and pound". Two big backs pounding behind a big OL.

I thought to myself..maybe nobody played poorly...it's just a strategy of Rex's to say that to keep them on their toes.

he could be trying to motivate Brown. I think in a recent interview with the RB coach, he said Rex likes to do that with certain guys (call them out) Edited by YoloinOhio

@jchenelly

Two sources who were at #Bills OTA Day 1 today say no one was singled out by coaches as being disappointing. Fastest pace they've seen.

 

 

Rex has said he's told his assistants "coach them off the tape, coach them in the room" so not sure that means anything either way

Yep. They kept the pace fast and will coach players in the position meetings.
