All OTAs this week are still considered part of Phase Three of the NFL’s offseason workout program.  During Phase Three, teams may hold 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 offense versus defense, but with no live contact. Individual player instruction and drills are allowed, but no 1-on-1 (for example, no offensive linemen vs. defensive linemen pass rush or pass protection drills; no wide receivers versus defensive backs bump-and-run drills). As opposed to Phases One and Two, players are allowed to wear helmets during Phase Three.

The last sentence indicates during this Phase 3 “players are allowed to wear helmets”; the accompanying picture above shows Matt Barkley wearing a helmet during last week’s Phase 2. Looks like we’re in for a fine from the league. Can anyone explain this?

As long as there's no injury reports related to OTA's, they are bearable.

Lots I want to hear from Daboll

 

"Need to get better in all phases."

"Josh knows what he needs to do and is putting in the work."

"Excited to have new pieces in the offense."

"Frank Gore is a pro's pro."

"Can't talk about the players who aren't here but we hope to have them back by training camp."

"We'll build upon concepts introduced last year and fit the offense to our strengths."

 

That should just about cover it.  ;)

The dates for the Buffalo Bills' offseason workouts were announced Monday by the league.

Bills players report April 15 with organized team activities May 20-21, May 23, May 28-29, May 31 and June 3-4 and 6-7.

The team's mandatory minicamp is scheduled for June 11-13.

According to the collective bargaining agreement, a voluntary nine-week program is conducted in three phases:

  • Phase 1 is two weeks and is limited to strength and conditioning.
  • Phase 2 is three weeks and features on-field player instruction and drills but no live hitting or offense vs. defense drills.
  • Phase 3 is four weeks. No live contact is allowed but teams can do 7 on 7, 9 on 9 or 11 on 11 drills

Does that extend to GMs and coaches?  I can think of one deserving individual in New Jersey who obviously is too smart for the rest of the NFL, and needs to make sure no errant hits to the head interrupt his plans for world domination.
