Well, it's those "word choices" that speak directly to his understanding of the game and, by extension, his very credibility as a reporter. Sorry, but you can't "report" a deliberate throwaway by a QB as a "brutal incompletion" and not expect to be taken to task for it. 

 

He did that? Roll out the gallows!

 

No quarter shall be given to such a one as he.

I wonder if Teller will get a few snaps with the 1's tomorrow.

 

Sounds like Vlad's backside picked up a lot of grass stains.

It was hard to tell what his jersey # is with the 95 imprint.

Seems like shaq had a good day. Hopefully he can start stringing them together. Using him as a dt on 3rd down obvious pass situations could be effective. 

We desperately need another wr. These guys better get used to catching rockets from allen or they wont be here long

The memo:

 

You gotta pay your dues before rocking the Chris Hairston 75.

Every time I see #75, I think of Marcellus Wiley.

Right, like that's what I'm advocating by critiquing his reporting. Ironically, you've overreacted to your perceived overreaction by others to Thad Brown's reporting. 

 

Brown and every other reporter using the twitter verse as a reporting medium should be cautious in their use stream of consciousness reporting as it's much easier to expose their lack of knowledge while doing so. Especially Thad Brown.

Buffalo Bills training camp day 6: Ups and downs for A.J. McCarron (6 observations)

Pittsford, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott ran his team through two-minute drills at the end of Wednesday's practice at St. John Fisher College, and the results were noteworthy.

 

A.J. McCarron ran the first-team offense well throughout practice, but find out how things went south at the end and more in day six observations.

 So in a worst case scenario, the guy reported that a throwaway was a bad throw--and that's why people keep beating him up for every sentence he now tweets about Josh Allen?

 

I didn't even know the guy's name until people here started hammering him for making a mistake. 

 

There but for the grace of god go any of us.

I can't speak to why anyone else has been "beating him up", but as far as I'm concerned, not being able to distinguish between a deliberate throwaway and a "brutal incompletion" as he phrased it, calls into question everything else he reports on. Again, that's the danger of stream of consciousness twitter reporting vs. a carefully considered and crafted report.

Joe B: 7 observations from 2018 Buffalo Bills training camp - Day 6

(WKBW) - To open up the month of August, the Buffalo Bills decided to structure their practice a bit differently than the previous five days to see just how far they've come to this point. The Bills, rather than doing 7-on-7s and 1-on-1s, stayed as a team and continued along with the most reps of 11-on-11s in one day of camp.

 

Each quarterback neared around 20 pass attempts through the practice, which led to extensive opportunities for all players to make a name for themselves with meaningful reps. 

 

How did the team fare? Seven observations from Day Six of training camp:

 

1) Sack frenzy in team drills

2) The context behind the QB stats

3) A whimpering two-minute drill

4) Rod Streater getting extended first-team time

5) A tale of two undrafted rookie receivers

6) Bills keep moving Keenan Robinson around

7) Proehl struggling to stand out

 

Day 6 MVP: WR Cam Phillips

- As the pads have gone on, Phillips has risen to the challenge and is making an outstanding play almost on a daily basis. Wednesday was his best day so far.

 

Day 6 LVP: WR Austin Proehl

- Proehl needs to show up a lot more than he has because if he waits too long, he could get passed by a number of receivers trying to crack the 53-man roster.

 

Up Next: Day Seven on Thursday, August 2 at 8:45 am.

I'm especially encouraged by this:

 

Quote

As for Allen, he salvaged the two-minute drill on his first play with an incredible throw down the left sideline to Cam Phillips that hit a tight window between two defenders -- a total zone-busting throw, and it went for 26 yards. Allen's next two plays were both throwaways when he saw he didn't have anyone, but on 3rd-and-10, he had Ray-Ray McCloud on a slant pattern that he made in stride, but the rookie dropped it over the middle of the field.

 

Allen threw a 26 yard strike that no other QB on the team could hope to make. Then apparently correctly threw the ball away on 2 consecutive plays. Then hit a WR in stride on a slant that could have been a 3rd down conversion if it wasn't dopped. This is just day 6 of his first ever training camp. It's hard to not be excited with where he's at this early in the process. Sounds to me like he's getting better every practice and always making at least a couple throws per practice that Peterman and McCarron don't have the natural ability to do.

also very excited about this. I feel the exact same way about this sequence of plays. the tight throw. the awareness to clock it away on 2 straight and then drill a wr in stride on a slant.... very cool to hear. dunno how people cant feel optimistic about allen.

 

I get that it was with the 3's. so context is necessary. but I still like his trajectory.

This seems like a reasonable and balanced  take to me.

 

 

Tremaine's pick from today.

Allen learning to deal with QB spotlight

Pittsford - Josh Allen had another up and down practice on Wednesday. It's not unusual for him or for most NFL rookies.

 

He's learning how to handle the roller coaster performances. Whether it's fans, media or coaches, he knows all eyes are on him.

 

"Everybody's looking at the quarterback. Looking at your mannerisms, your body language," Allen said. "I started a little shaky today and I might have let my emotions get the best of me at one point, but on to the nex period. Ended up making some really good throws at the end and finishing strong."
