A.J. McCarron commanded the first team offense in all team drills against the defense, but Josh Allen continues to be the focus. The cornerback battle behind Tre'Davious White and Vontae Davis may be even more important to Bills fans all of a sudden. Plus Allen adds another highlight-reel throw. Those and more in today's camp observations. Vontae Davis status still up in air McCarron gets all 1st team reps Shady provides offense stability Allen quiet after breakout day 3 Wide receiver update Mills and Miller look good on right side Injury update ...does it seem like McBeane shops out and signs guys coming off injury (Davis, Murphy, Benjamin), or am I way off base?.............
26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 3 quick takeaways from Day 4 of Bills training camp Day 4 of Buffalo Bills training camp is in the history books and it’ll go down as the first day tempers boiled over. There were some fireworks at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, so let’s get right to it. Here are three quick takeaways from Day 4 of Bills training camp: Tight end thinning Not a lot of first-team for Allen Fisticuffs
26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 Leslie Frazier: "Rotation is Fluid" (9:23) Bills Defensive Coordinator Leslie Frazier addressed the media for the first time at training camp topics include; defensive end rotation, early thoughts on rookie LB Tremaine Edmunds, and practicing in pads for the second straight practice.
Wayne Arnold Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 21 minutes ago, Kmart128 said: No that would not have been a sack in a real situation. Allen side stepped the defender and he wasn't even close. The camera angle makes the defender seem closer than he actually is. You have to be joking. This defender literally stops well before Allen even steps to throw and lets him throw it. In a real game, Allen is crushed here. 3

That's what people said about the play. They we're probably wrong but only basing that off what I had heard. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 Edmunds continues to show maturity, leadership leading Bills defense BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Tremaine Edmunds stands out for a lot reasons on the field. But, when talking to teammates, they say the rookie is mature beyond his years. That's not bad for a guy who just turned 20 and is expected to be the leader in the middle of Sean McDermott’s defense. “I can't be another age. I'm 20 years old and I feel it," Edmunds joked following practice on Sunday. "He's doing well. Just in talking with some of his teammates in the huddle, that was one of our concerns was how would he handle this atmosphere," defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. "This is another part of the transition for him. He's done very well with that, no problems communicating and he's on target to do well." 1

26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 Joe B: 7 observations from 2018 Buffalo Bills training camp - Day 4 (WKBW) - The Buffalo Bills have finished their first four practices, which means they have now reached the official first stopping point of training camp. The Bills will take Monday off to recharge their batteries, but before they get to that, first was another padded practice that yielded some intriguing results. We saw the first scuffle of training camp (between noted training camp scufflers Jordan Mills and Jerry Hughes), as well the first rest day for the player -- Kyle Williams -- that will probably receive the most rest days of any player on the team. Besides those two things, what happened on Day Four of training camp? Seven observations from the day of work: 1) Bills giving Phillips more responsibilities 2) McCarron has the best day of the bunch, but Peterman improved, too 3) Is Zay Jones getting closer? 4) A no contest for the two guard spots 5) A switch on the running back depth chart 6) One tight end moves up 7) Patience pays off for Mike Love Day 4 MVP: RB LeSean McCoy - McCoy flat out embarrassed Ramon Humber on a one-on-one pass catching rep, and showed a great burst in the little work he had during team drills. Day 4 LVP: RT Gerhard de Beer - It was a struggle all day long for de Beer in pass protection. He's having a hard time shifting his weight down and anchoring, and opponents are bull rushing him into the backfield. He has to find a way to counter this move or else they'll continue to beat him. Up Next: The Bills have the day off on Monday. They resume practice on Tuesday, July 31 at 8:45 am. Tuesday's practice is closed to the public. 1

26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 With a day off Monday, here's a look at the first four days of Bills camp And on the fifth day, they rested. The Bills are taking Monday off after four consecutive days of training camp practice at St. John Fisher College, then will get back to work Tuesday for a session that will be closed to the public. The next time fans can see the team will be Wednesday when they hit the field at 8:45 a.m. As they head into their day of recovery, which is likely welcomed after two days of working in pads that produced the first significant contact of camp, and the first fight, there aren’t too many conclusions to be drawn regarding positional competitions, or how players are performing either good or bad. As Sean McDermott always says, it’s a process, and it’s very early in that process. Still, there are definitely some things to talk about, so here are a few on my mind: Josh Allen is the QB to watch Harrison Phillips is one tough dude Zay Jones looks pretty healthy, but … The tight end depth chart is wide open
26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 Top 3 things to know from Day 4 at Bills camp Four training camp practices in the books. And the Buffalo Bills get Monday off now, with the regular season opener just six weeks away. They practiced in front of another big crowd early Sunday morning, with sunshine and comfortable temperatures in the mid 70s. Here are the top developments from Sunday’s training camp workout: 1. BOUNCE BACK DAY FOR THE BILLS RUNNING GAME 2. PADS + POPS= A PHYSICAL TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE 3. MURPHY’S THE STARTER FOR NOW AT DEFENSIVE END; PLENTY OF WORK FOR SHAQ
TroutDog Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 5 hours ago, whatdrought said: As polarizing as it is, Allen is by far the most natural QB we have. Anyone have video of the long pass from Allen to Foster? Yup.
TroutDog Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) What has been most interesting being there all three days is the tempo. As with last year, it is the anti-Rex: everything is deliberate and, many times, even when guys are on the sideline, they work to be better. Another interesting thing was, during the kerfuffel today, McD was right in there breaking it up. It stopped instantaneously. He has control, complete control. Also, each practice has been exactly 90 minutes. None of the ‘you guys gave it your all so we’re cutting it short’ or other Rex garbage. They changed the culture as soon as they walked in the door.

26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 Tremaine Edmunds earns high praise from coaches and teammates ROCHESTER - "He's unusual," says Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. He means that in a good way about rookie Tremaine Edmunds. "His height, his size, his speed. That's rare," gushed Frazier. "You don't see guys like him throughout the league. We're fortunate that we found a guy like that where we did."
26CornerBlitz Posted July 29, 2018 Author Posted July 29, 2018 Day four camp report from Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic: Buffalo Bills Practice Observations Day Four: How Long Can AJ McCarron Hold Off Josh Allen PITTSFORD, N.Y. — When you scan the crowd at Buffalo Bills training camp at St. John Fisher College, there aren’t many AJ McCarron jerseys. His throws don’t inspire viral videos or polarizing reaction the way that rookie Josh Allen’s do, either. But on the fourth day of training camp, McCarron was once again leading the first-team offense. To the pessimist, McCarron’s play is uninspiring, while the optimist views the former Alabama quarterback as a steadying presence for the first unit. The Bills might see it that way, too. Josh Allen uncorks a bomb Peterman bouncing back Speaking of Croom … Chris Ivory with the run of the day LeSean McCoy with another big play A fight! A new role for Harrison Phillips? A few rookies slow to catch on A swap at defensive end Injury roundup The Bills will return to practice on Tuesday morning for a session that is closed to the public.
