26CornerBlitz Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) McDermott speaks to the media at 8:15 this morning before practice. Quick Hits: No holding back with Edmunds Bills rookie linebacker Tremaine Edmunds has been nothing short of impressive through the first few days of training camp. While the responsibilities being placed on Edmunds in Buffalo's defense are extensive, head coach Sean McDermott and the defensive staff has not felt a need to reduce the amount of what they’ve put on his plate to this point. Phillips cross training at both DT spots Zay Jones still sidelined, Murphy gets rest day McDermott said when Jones does return he will be phased in steadily and will likely be limited at first. Meanwhile, DE Trent Murphy is getting a veteran rest day. It will afford the veteran two days off in total knowing the team was idle on Monday. TE Nick O’Leary, who missed Sunday’s practice, returns today in a limited capacity. Fellow TE Logan Thomas is practicing, but on a non-contact basis. He’s wearing a red jersey during practice today. McDermott: "We Have a Plan" (13:43) HC Sean McDermott discusses injury updates, quarterback rotation heading in to preseason, the slot cornerback competition and more.

MAJBobby Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Why do they even close practice to the public is it really only to give the grass fields recovery time like has been suggested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its reported that last year fans were upset when they showed up to practice but couldnt really see anything because the team was on the back fields to give the main grass fields time to recover, so to avoid the fans being dissapointed this year they decided to close those practices to the public. McD does the same field rotation at OBD facilities too, so it seems legit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 McD - excited by competition and depth at several roster spots. LB corp, Deon Lacy has really improved from a year ago. RB corp has also been a good group and calls out all guys by name for doing a great job early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 McD - Harry Phillips will be moved back and forth between both DT spots, and its expected all DT's will be able to handle both spots throughout the year. He wants them all to be interchangeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but then I would think completely close it and not let Media there. 14 minutes ago, PaattMaann said: Its reported that last year fans were upset when they showed up to practice but couldnt really see anything because the team was on the back fields to give the main grass fields time to recover, so to avoid the fans being dissapointed this year they decided to close those practices to the public.

Guess it is just new to me having a coach so in the details to be concerned about grass recovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD said Groy and Bodine have both been really solid, and "Adam Redmond isn't just letting them have it" (that a 'paraphrase quote') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Sal is giving play by play now. McCaron threw a pick in redzone drills. Peterman might have but not sure if I heard it right. Allen overthrew his last pass. Sal did say it was a good pass, only the WR had a chance at it....just a little too high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just the grass thing. That makes sense. I used to manage fields in a different life and overuse is a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal was doing his segment at the same time as redzone drills and was giving play by play. Just now, 26CornerBlitz said: It was AJM who threw the pick. Yeah I know I heard that and put it down. Peterman, I was working at the same time and didn't hear it clearly. Might have been a PI I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
