Peter Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia: The #Bills offense today, well.... 'yuck' is the word I would use. That and other observations from minicamp: http://t.co/hHNsYk5Ga7 On the bright side . . . I suppose the defense must be looking pretty good. At the end of the day, I wonder how many (if any) defenses the Bills will play that will be tougher to play against than our D.
FluffHead Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I know you guys are down on Joe. B. for being "negative" but let's be real here, haven't the quarterbacks been bad here in Buffalo for quite a while now? Isn't it possible that he's just reporting what he is seeing? I've always found Joe B. to be pretty informed. Joe is spot on, people just don't like to hear it Oh, he thinks he's the hippest dude around with his #getwoke and fancy socks photos. Agree he is kind of a tool but his reporting is fine IMO

YoloinOhio Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Ooh, he used "quick-twitch" in his writeup. #scoutwannabe also - "eye test"
Peter Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 also - "eye test" Joe B. refers to the "eye test" and, yet, the article curiously has a photo of Tyrod in a Ravens uniform. They may need to have others start performing the eye test.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 LeSean McCoy: "You Can Never Learn Too Much" (5:17)RB LeSean McCoy talks about the depth of the roster, playing in Greg Roman's Offense and mastering the playbook. Greg Roman: "This Is A Group Of Hardworking Guys" (5:58) OC Greg Roman talks about the work ethic displayed thus far, what he expects from the players and coaches during the break before training camp and how players will continue to be shuffled around. Minicamp Notes: Day 2 Day two of Bills minicamp saw some lineup changes, a receiver standing out and a developing situation at safety.
MOFO Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 @buffalobills Step 1: Score a TD at #BillsMinicamp. Step 2: GET UP! More photos of the action: http://bufbills.co/3I95jb I hate this ^^^ Maybe I'm getting old (get off my lawn) and putting aside my general distaste for the "look at me craving attention" aspect, haven't we learned from Gramattica, Tulloch, and Houston that excessive celebration can end a season...must we celebrate a touchdown during OTA's like this...In the immortal words of AI- "We not talking bout a game, not a game, we talking about practice"...act like it has happened before...end of rant. Thank you.

Thank you. If one were to believe Joe B, it may not have happened before (or at least not often). I am just joking. I know where you are coming from though. I just prefer to look at it as the players having some fun and bonding. Edited June 17, 2015 by Peter
Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia: The #Bills offense today, well.... 'yuck' is the word I would use. That and other observations from minicamp: http://t.co/hHNsYk5Ga7 OK I read this and it sounds like we suck horridly at QB and on O, only 4 completions of 11 attempts, 1 by Taylor, 2 by Manuel for only 2 yards, longest completion 15 yds by Matt Simms Minicamp Notes: Day 2 Now I read this, and I read about Cassel having a completion to Hogan who got great separation, Manuel having great touch on a pass to Gray for a TD, Taylor having a 15 yd completion, Woods moving the sticks on 2 of 3 receptions from Manuel, etc Something is hinky here. Yes, I understand Chris Brown is actually a PR employee of the Bills but either he's outright lying (which I haven't seen him to do - put a positive spin, yes, lie, no) or what JoeB wrote can't be accurate.
Zac Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Brown is talking about 7 v 7s while JoeB only discusses 11 v 11s. by all accounts the 11 v 11s were abysmal.
Rubes Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I think I'd almost prefer closed practices at this point.
Big C Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Ooh, he used "quick-twitch" in his writeup. #scoutwannabe #gragglag I don't really mind Joe B. and his silly hastags. His tone can sometimes be a little arrogant in print, but it's generally the same mix of information and speculation as with any beat writer.. And I love fun socks. So regarding TE and Gragg falling behind the pack, I kind of saw this being the case going forward. Gragg never really got anything going in his first two years with us. I like that Cockrell is getting some 1st team reps in the absence of Leo and Gilmore. Hope he makes the most of this opportunity. No mention of Dez Lewis yet. Plenty of Hogan hype, though. Think that's cool. He's worked hard and it's paying off. Edited June 17, 2015 by Big C

Brown didn't say whether the passes were completed during 11-11s or 7-7s. Reporters said that all QBs looked better in 7-7s, but discounted those series for no QB pressure.

Either way, Brown spins it from "EJ was late on the read and it was picked off" to "Mario Butler made a great play, closing in on the ball and managing to get both feet down" or whatever it was.

Peter Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 As an aside, it is interesting to watch all of the player interviews on bb.com One of things that I find interesting is that some of these guys in the media seem to ask the same questions to each player. They are either lazy or just trying to push their own narratives. Another interesting thing they do is preface a question by saying: "Rex said" or so and so said . . . .

No, that's standard reporting procedure, I think. You know, getting multiple viewpoints on the same subject, providing context, and whatnot.

I hope you did. No, that's standard reporting procedure, I think. You know, getting multiple viewpoints on the same subject, providing context, and whatnot. Could be, but it seems to me that there are instances where some media guys are looking for conflicting responses rather than "context and what not." Just my two cents.
