Do the Bills look like a Super Bowl team? Do they have that swagger? Or is it too early to tell? How is the atmosphere? 

They absolutely no doubt about it look like a superbowl team. Knox Kincaid Diggs and Davis in redzone looks substantial in person and seeing Torrence in there first is a nice sight. Hoping Torrence can win the job. 

 

1st day so I would say more getting feet wet than swagger. But the oozing of veteran and top end talent with a total all in focus was definitely apparent. 

 

The atmosphere was definitely electric. I would say a more mild crowd today but the numbers were there. The place was packed. Like super super packed. I got the feel that most people there were kind of leaning over they're seats trying to take everything in like I was. But also a nice mix of a lot of kids and retirees. Great environment!

Also what makes them look like a superbowl team was when they had floyd- Rousseau- Oliver- AJE (who will eventually be Von). They showed us everything that was have been dreaming about this offseason. It was very fun to watch. They didn't beat around the bush today. The depth is insane. 

 

We need something more than Dotson tho. That has to get addressed. That makes us look less like a Superbowl team.

Shorter had a red zone rep with 1s

 

Any thoughts on Shorter yet? Does he “look the part”?

 

I am hoping he is a surprise contributor this season.

I don't think in all of our wildest dreams we could have drawn up a better perfect QB for Buffalo.💯

whos returning kickoffs/punts?  

 

Thanks for any updates

 

 

There's some stuff in the training camp starts today thread.

Also in Astro's update

Harty, Shakir and newly signed RB Evans getting work on PR

KO return had a bunch more

 

From Astro update:

-----------

The kick returners were Khlil Shakir, Darrynton Evans, and Deonte Harty. In that order. New faces, new places.

[I think he means punt return, based on something a media member tweeted, but maybe they did KR too]

During kick return drills they used some new faces, as well. KeeSean Johnson, Dane Jackson, Kaiir Elam, and Alex Austin showed a mix of familiar and unfamiliar numbers.

He was getting a lot of reps with the 2s and had the one Red Zone rep I saw with the ones. Other than that I didn't see much of him. Number 81 (Keeshawn Johnson)kind of jumped out a little bit with me with the twos and the threes.

 

I'm going again friday so I'll watch him closer that day.

Thanks so much for the report. I am jealous. Have a blast!

The Bills pay fans to do this. Kind of like North Korea when the women act excited and cry when Jung-Un parades by.

A MLB makes us look less like a SB team…. While Chiefs trotted out rookies up and down their defense in the SB?

 

Appreciate the camp updates but couldn’t disagree more about MLB…. Doesn’t move the needle at all for the team. 

I hear you. That's a great point. It's more just a sight thing than like position but I do agree with what you are saying.

So, not to hijack this thread, because I know it is info about what happened on the practice field (I appreciate that), but can anyone who was there today tell me how accessible this is for kids? The last time I was at SJF was 2007 (Marv Levy was the GM) and it was super fan friendly, especially for kids.  They had a schedule and tents set up for specific position groups to meet with the kids.  As I recall, Xerox was out there, handing out programs, photos etc etc.  I know a lot can change in 15 years...is it still set up for the kids?

Np and thank you!

 

I would say it is super accessible for kids. They have some games set up for kids and concessions. A lot of kids were there today. I think they have like a tunnel wall around where kids can line up to go get autographs over by the main field. Very kid friendly atmosphere with a lot of kid friendly amenities/attractions I would say.

Absolutely me too. I've been clamoring for bigger receivers for a long time.

I’m 41 and a straight male….I think I would cry if Josh Allen hugged me.

I thought this poster was being serious for a second. You got me!

[Jerry Jabber]

Thanks for the camp report! Much appreciated from an out-of-state Bills fan. 
 

Hoping to see improvements on offense (outside of Allen and Diggs) this season. Liked the early reports from the new WR’s and Kincaid.
