Mike32282 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 After a couple days off, the Bills were on the field this morning and ready to work. They practiced on the Growney Stadium turf and wore their shoulder pads and shorts. There was some minimal hitting, but they took it easy today. The main items on the agenda for today were special teams coverage, 7-on-7, and the full team scrimmage 11-on-11 drill. Like always, the players stretched things out and then separated into their individual units. JP Losman and the other quarterbacks worked with the wide receivers and he seemed a little rusty, but not bad. He was off target on a few passes, but got better by the end. Kelly Holcomb was sharp with all his passes and did a good job. CLICK HERE for the rest I will try to upload the photos tomorrow morning after work.

eball Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 thx for the report, mike. great stuff. interesting thoughts on george wilson. i doubt he'll make the team over aiken, though...you don't keep a 4th WR because of his WR skills, you keep him for what he does on ST. aiken is one of our ST demons.

Spun Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Nice work!!! I think that one of the smartest off season moves was bringing in Holcomb. I am also looking to be surprised by a few of these new " no name " players. ...and the fever builds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Why in the name of all that is holy are we not starting Holcomb over Losman. Give the man reps with the first team and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you liked it. George Wilson has really started to get more reps on the field lately. He could possibly make the roster, but we gotta see what he does on special teams. i agree with u on Aiken, and I'm one of his biggest fans. I have always liked what i have seen, but lately he is struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike32282 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Thanks mike. 402268[/snapback] Your welcome. Nice work!!! I think that one of the smartest off season moves was bringing in Holcomb. I am also looking to be surprised by a few of these new " no name " players. ...and the fever builds... 402281[/snapback] I agree. Holcomb was a great pickup and so far he has done a very good job at learning the offense. Why in the name of all that is holy are we not starting Holcomb over Losman. Give the man reps with the first team and see what happens. 402284[/snapback] Nice try. damn, you're a schitt starter.i love it. 402286[/snapback] Me too. DOOOOMED!

Beerball Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 What do you think of Woodbury, any shot of making the squad? Is his only hope the PS? Of the little I saw during the scrimage one thing was obvious, the guy is an athelete. Whether he has the physical and mental abilities to play QB are yet to be seen, but I hope he gets a shot.

Reuben Gant Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Nice report. BTW, I think you can give Moulds a pass for not signing autographs, he went to attend the Kelly funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they decide to offer a coaching job to Shane Matthews so he can work with JP still on the sidelines, and then we can see Tory Woodbury more in the preseason games and he'll have a good shot at making the roster then.

If God forbid Matthews were needed he would be right there. Seeing Woodbury in a real game situation will be telling. I hope he gets more than mop up duty against 5th stringers. Very raw, but to me compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Woodbury in a real game situation will be telling. I hope he gets more than mop up duty against 5th stringers. Very raw, but to me compelling. If the Bills were to have to resort to their 3rd string QB, there's little more you want to see him do than handing the ball off. At least with Woodbury, you could use his mobility to do rollouts, designed QB runs, and even the option (only half-kidding here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played very well. Great report! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
