TheFunPolice Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I was buying into the Tyrod hype but I am still worried about him as a passer. Cassell is a steady hand who isn't exciting but has made pro bowls and led teams to winning records. I just can't see them starting EJ but I'll support him if they do obviously.

DrDawkinstein Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 You have to factor in pads, water intake and field temp. When the sun beats down on that field the heat rises similar to asphalt. Heat exhaustion is usually a build up of a period of time. It felt WAY hotter than 83-85 out there today, and that was in the shade with no pads on. In the sun, out on the field, in pads, it was easily 90-100. that sun was scorching today, and there was zero wind.
BobChalmers Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Depends on whether or not you're Justin Gilbert. Or the GM that drafted him, or the scout that recommended him...
Doc Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Just got back in from today's practice. All of the tweets/posts/memes/reports about Justin Gilbert still don't give a fair picture of how bad he was. It was noticeable right from the bat when it was just our WRs working against their DBs in easy-going 1-on-1 drills with no QB. By the time they moved to team practices, we were all laughing and yelling "pick on 21!", and Cassel was smart enough to find him and exploit him a few times. WRT the Bills... We stayed on the Offensive side since we already know what we have on Defense and arent worried about it. The OLine had a bit of a rough outing, but I expect the DL to have the advantage in these types of practices. Wasn't very impressed with Tyrod working with the 1s, not many throws downfield, but it's his first day with the group. Cassel is Cassel, not a bad idea to keep him around for a vet backup. EJ could be the best of the bunch, but it seems like it still isnt clicking at 100%. He's always a half-beat behind from when he should've thrown it. He had some nice throws, and no real bad throws. But it seems like he makes his choice, and instead of throwing it to a spot as the WR comes open, he instead hesitates and waits to make sure the guy is really going to be open, and then throws it to the open WR. Dude just needs to rip it. Speaking of WRs, Robert Woods is the man. Sucks to hear about Powell, time to bring back Spikes! (Who most likely wont be suspended until next season) From reports I've heard, TT's been working with the ones quite a bit so far. Which makes today very disappointing. @JoeBuscagliaMore bad news for EJ, Cassel wins the day, & a brutal performance by a former top-10 pick. My observations from today http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/7-bills-training-camp-observations-day-13 Joe B, demonstrating that EJ must have banged his girl, or his sister. No Joe, today was good news for EJ, at least as far as sticking on the roster goes.

Nanker Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 @WGR550 Bills WRs dominate Browns DBs on first day. @SalSports Monday practice notes: http://www.wgr550.com/Bills-WRs-dominate-Browns-DBs-on-first-day/21867011 I hope they keep Sammy out tomorrow. Could be some chippy **** coming down and he's too valuable to lose in TC to a pizzed off toasted DB.
eball Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I hope they keep Sammy out tomorrow. Could be some chippy **** coming down and he's too valuable to lose in TC to a pizzed off toasted DB. I agree...after all of the reports about how the Bills' WRs abused the Browns' secondary I could see them coming out a little overly aggressive.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I agree...after all of the reports about how the Bills' WRs abused the Browns' secondary I could see them coming out a little overly aggressive. Overly aggressive might favor Tyrod's game (and our run game as a whole). Typically the contain game is more patience than aggression.
BobbyC81 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 The SE gets ridiculously hot and humid. The SW is less humid, but even more ridiculously hot. The NE has the best combo of heat and humidity, IMO. Nothing beats the Bay Area for weather

hondo in seattle Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I didn't grow up in a Bills household even though we lived in Cheektowaga. My parents and older brothers just didn't care for football. The first football game I ever watched was a come-from-behind upset victory for the Browns over the Cowboys. I've been somewhat of a Browns fan ever since - though I never got attached to the new incarnation of the Browns since the old Browns packed up the moving vans. I hope the Bills embarrass the Browns with superior talent and toughness during these joint practices.

My observations from today http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/7-bills-training-camp-observations-day-13 You mean, that you're still employed as a sports "expert" by a local media outlet, and still allowed to write your reports with whatever bias you wish to infuse into them?
NickelCity Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I can't make up my mind if going against the browns on the short week hurts or favors Tyrod. Can't wait till the game. And I'm still excited by Cassel's repeated success. Whether he wins it outright or not I think we have a basic-level-of-adequacy QB. A ringing endorsement, I know.
The Wiz Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 He did? Yea, Joe B attended for a semester and then left or got kicked out. Not exactly sure but I know he was there for a short time.
