OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Astro-Notes: Bills’ Practice 8-7-18 Posted on August 7, 2018 by Dean Kindig — 3 Comments ↓ (Not done typing–will remove this when I’m done) A grey rainy day at Fisher, but outfitted with a Bills umbrella and sheet protectors over my roster, which now has #19 as Corey Coleman, I took one for the #BillsMafia. My notes are sopping wet, but legible. Here goes. http://billsmafia.com/2018/08/07/astro-notes-bills-practice-8-7-18/ Edited August 7, 2018 by OldTimeAFLGuy 2

Chandler#81 Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Highlights (Rastro has a great style!) “Gerhard de Beer got de most instruction. 11 on 11s began. McCarron hands off to McCoy, and yesterday’s hard landing on his hip showed no sign of persisting. The dude can fly. Interesting that Keith Ford went before Marcus Murphy today, but Ford’s deserved it. Ford, the youngest RB, has had a checkered past. He transferred out of Oklahoma to Texas A&M, having been suspended indefinitely for both academic and team rules violations. He’s lost 3 murdered friends. Allen got second ups, and had Corey Coleman line up as the X receiver on this side next to Ray Ray, who occupied the slot. Coleman went long every time, but the plays were hand-offs to Cadet then Taiwan Jones. McCarron went again, curiously skipping Peterman Peterman throws it deep to Coleman on a Go route, and he hauls it in, just as easy as pie. A 2020 7th round pick… Allen comes out with a trips formation left, with Dupre, Kaelin Clay, and Logan Thomas, who’s out the widest (I love Daboll’s wrinkles). Allen zings it to Supre-Dupre on a crosser. Some spectators leave, confusing Allen’s pass with lightning. Not done yet, Allen throws and connects with Coleman deep. 2020 seventh-rounder looking good. McCarron has Corey Coleman crossing over the middle and McCoy receiving the benefit of the attention on Coleman. Josh Allen has Harvard’s own Adam Redmond at Center, and he’s doing strong work in there. Coleman flies deep down the left side, leaving space behind for Allen’s screen to Marcus Murphy. It’s nice having someone stretch the field for all that it opens up. Allen has them in 4-wide, no RB on the next play. Allen leads Robert Foster with an accurate pass that would have made 15+ yards. LJ McCray is dancing on the sidelines, but Tre White says, “Hold my beer.” McCarron puts Charles Clay in motion onto the same side as Benjamin. That’s a lot of height on one side. A.J. flips the ball to Andre Holmes on the other side. This is excellent offensive scheming. The Front Four, which I call The Cold Front, consists of Star Lotulelei at one-tech, Horrible Harry at 3-tech, Shaq Lawson next to Horrible, and LDE Jerry Hughes, who is getting off in record time. Daboll again impresses with O’Leary split out wide” 1
Juice_32 Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Astro's notes make Coleman seem like the MVP of the day. 1

I've even shared his site to a few friends of mine, because his daily updates provide much appreciated insight into the practice sessions, that i'd otherwise be unable to learn. Big thanks!
CSBill Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Astro is simply better than any of the people who get paid to do this. Thanks for your great service to us, Dean. 4 2

Cripple Creek Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Apparently the music for the positional drills was chosen by McCoy today. 1

hemma Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 I like Ike. I think he makes the roster. Played OT (mostly Right) at Iowa, been at RG here and today they had him practicing snaps with Bodine/Groy. Need one of those 'can play anywhere guys.'
