Heitz Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Just a heads-up that the Sirius Training Camp Tour is going to be in Buffalo today and the show will air from 6 - 9pm tonight. They typically provide some good insight, though one year it would be nice if it wasn't just the first few days of camp when they stop by!
Nanker Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 NFLN showed that they'll have a report from SJF today at the 3 o'clock hour.

Heitz Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) As they say, IT'S ON! (FYI) Kirwan does not sound like a believer (at least fully in personnel), guess we shall see. Interestingly they said there are rumors of "Tyrod getting a monster deal." :gas on fire: Jimbo on now!! Talked about Tyrod's ability to use his legs, but said he looks to throw downfield. He can make some big plays that way. Kirwan just mentioned Dez Lewis. Jim said we have some good receivers on the roster. Jim said he's not as close to this team as he'd like to be - just so busy with life. But is open to providing advice, then kinda rambled off topic Taking old times with Kirwan! w00t What a great leader Marv Levy was - amazing. Proud to be a Buffalo Bill. Old Bills teams didn't do a lot, but what they did, they were REALLY good at. Practiced the same play, out of different formations, against different D's over and over and over. And he's out!

Heitz Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 Talking through the team personnel now, only thing to note was Kirwan saying we have NO back-up LT if Glenn were to go down...
Heitz Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 Need to find a #3 WR, or hit the FA market in a couple weeks. Have good depth at RB. J Willams could be a thumper... Whaley on next. On Reggie: Always looking to get better - talked about the Pony O with Shady and Reggie in the backfield On QB: We HAVE our guy, everyone knows that and is working to get better. Second year in D system and with the staff having knowledge of players, D will be better. Kirwan talked to players who said it seems much easier to grasp and feels way more natural. Tyrod talks - lines open, hoping we can get to a resolution that makes both sides comfortable... On Dez Lewis - he made the biggest jump from year 1 to year 2. Very exciting prospect, wants to see it in a game. On Ragland: He's a throw back guy - physical. Will transition easy because Alabama's D is close to Rex's. Everything that was advertised On Gilmore: Lines of communications are open, but we're working diligently to get it done. We have the funds to get both (Gilmore and Tyrod) done this year, or early next. (sounded confident, IMO).
Heitz Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 Rex on now - but so were my chicken tacos, soooo... Kirwan did just say he watched Bills tape and Shady played GREAT last year.
Heitz Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 Really good interview with Rex - said A Williams could be a top S in the league, that Gilmore is the best player on the field, talked about the "largest staff in the NFL" saying that if we have an opportunity to get better we will. Said Reed will be a HQ in 5 years - he's what teams want these days and has a presence about him.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Thanks, man. Lack of OT depth, especially LT depth, IS very concerning. Henderson, if healthy, could kick over there in a pinch and hold his own, IMO. Big question mark though. Has Mills played LT? I see that Velasco is listed as a back up LT on some depth charts. Has he even played OT before? I know he has long arms for an OG.
Heitz Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 For sure - still listening and there's another hour! They seem impressed with Tyrod, down on EJ (Kirwan feels he hasn't improved at all). PK brought up the LT and WR depth concerns again, but that's about it. There's been a lot of talk about this being the second year and everyone being much more comfortable. Really good interview with Corey Graham. Our O linemen run faster than the Pats guys that have to run laps! Mills just called it a "very productive practice" and they'll get better. Tyrod is going to be on live...
stevewin Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Was kind of surprised Rex went out of his way to specifically single out and praise Goodwin. Corey Greham many positive comments about A Williams. Night and day between OTAs and now in terms of comfort and knowledge/calls. Also made an interesting comment that as safety, he sees first hand Tyrod making the right decisions based on where he (the safety) is lined my up and rolls in coverage. Kieran and Miller lots of positive comments on Striker tonight. Guess was running with the ones most of the night.
Heitz Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 Gs and Cs looked good - locked out any pressure that came their way.

Heitz Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 Ritchie Incognito - not sure my opinion has ever changed more on a player. Great interview per usual these days. Said they're doing "Master's Level work" out there now, stuff they were just learning in week 3 last year.
stevewin Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Incognito - this year is like "master's work" with them perfecting stuff now vs last year was week 3 or 4 where they were getting used to stuff. Positive comments on Tyrod, benefit of him being the man now and offense revolving around him vs 3 Qb battle at this time last year Ritchie Incognito - not sure my opinion has ever changed more on a player. Great interview per usual these days. Said they're doing "Master's Level work" out there now, stuff they were just learning in week 3 last year. Was very impressed with graham too. Not sure if i ever heard a whole interview with him, but came across as very poised and intelligent
