26CornerBlitz Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 @ChrisBrownBills McDermott: Clay- rest day, Hyde-rest w/hip, Glenn- foot soreness. #Bills @viccarucci WR Philly Brown missed #Bills practice w illness. Has been having a solid camp.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 @buffalobills "Zay is a talented WR. He does a lot of things right without the ball. I'm still tweaking things with Sammy but we have great chemistry."
TPS Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 If Yarbrough is the real deal...we will have a great DE rotation.it would certainly help with a position where depth is a big concern.
BillsFan17 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Why are so many people looking into who lines up where? Brand new coaching staff, they are going to want to get as many looks as possible. It's healthy to rotate guys to different roles and different amount of reps.

Roundybout Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Nick Wojton @Nick_Wojton Peterman puts on a clinic in 3rd team situation drill. Deep ball to Saxton then finds him for TD in red zone after going thru reads. #Bills6m nice!
eball Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 nice! I think I caught Kirwan yesterday predicting Peterman will be the clear #2 at some point this season.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 @TBNSports #Bills kicker Stephen Hauschka having strong camp. NEW at [bN] Blitz by @VicCarucci: http://buffalonews.com/2017/08/03/bills-kicker-stephen-hauschka-strong-camp/
Roundybout Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I think I caught Kirwan yesterday predicting Peterman will be the clear #2 at some point this season. Im JAG, but I had the same gut feeling about Peterman that I did Prescott last year. My posts about Dak were lost with the Great BBMB Purge, but I had a feeling he would be pretty good. Of course, our team is nowhere near Dallas, so who knows if he would have done well here.
BillsFan4 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Caught some of the coverage on Sirius. Some things I can recall Kirwin: Noted lack of depth. Said wasn't sold on TE2, concern on swing tackle as well. Didn't seem blown away by Bills overall talent - "Bills won't be winning the SB this year", will def need to pick up people after cuts etc. Raved about Vallejo of all people - said was always in the picture around the ball - fast first step Said Ragland didnt look 100% to him (McD and Alexander comments about Ragland were also more in the vein of "he's getting there, it's going to take time") Alexander: Said he worked with Randall Cobb in the offseason to work on his coverage skills in the new scheme There was some thing I missed that they kept bringing up about the team does a thing where different players share their "stories" in front of the team as bonding exercise- that it had strong effect on some players Their final thoughts: Won't be Rome built in a day, but all phases should be improved with more attention to detail 10 coaches with more than 10 yrs experience - McD should benefit Like that they had players out on field in live action without coaches (players need to learn to do it on their own) Weak in depth at safety esp - should be looking for safety now Didn't seem very optimistic about being a playoff team Not done building expect more moves to be made Tyrod is a "leader of men" (Kirwin said reminded him of R Wilson in that respect) - needs to make it happen on the field Thanks for sharing!
K D Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 so tomorrow they scrimmage at the Stadium and not in Rochester right? seems like a long way for them to travel for 1 practice
Roundybout Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 so tomorrow they scrimmage at the Stadium and not in Rochester right? seems like a long way for them to travel for 1 practice yeah, it's a first I believe.
BillsFan4 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 the piece about the life stories: @jeremyWGR TreDavious White says McDermott has one player go before the team each day to tell of his life/story. Says guys really open up. Could see that it resonates with the #Bills rookie, and that the team-building exercise is one that helps players understand each other. Bills Today: Players share life stories to build bond This is pretty cool. I really like McDermott's overall approach so far. This is by far the most hopeful I have been about a coaching staff in a long, long time. I don't expect it to happen overnight, but I think we might have the right guy for the job this time. I was just a little skeptical about them seeming so focused on "character" players. It gave me flashbacks to Chan Gailey and trading away talent. But seeing how their draft picks - Zay Jones, Tre White, Doin Dawkins, even Matt Milano - as well as other players they've brought in have performed so far, and what type of people they are, how team first oriented they seem, I'm starting to like the "character" approach much more. I'm also hopeful that these drafted players aren't they type that will want to run away from Buffalo the first chance they get. I obviously don't know for sure, but they seem like maybe they could be more like Kyle Williams types to me, who become very dedicated to the team and fans and city. I think that's important in a place like Buffalo. McDermott seems to have a good handle on how to build a true team, and has a very clear vision on how to accomplish that. He seems like a true leader, and I'm not sure when the Bills have really had that in recent history... I was very excited when we hired SM, I've been a fan of his since 2013. But he's actually been even better than I expected so far. Obviously the games are what matters, but I'm definitely a lot more hopeful than I was with Rex, Marrone, Chan etc. I just hope McD is given some time to turn this around. I'm really sick of the coaching carousel.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 so tomorrow they scrimmage at the Stadium and not in Rochester right? seems like a long way for them to travel for 1 practice I believe the logic was so that they get used to being under the lights.
