Well that is as meaningful as yet another article about how Brandon thinks his coach dejour is going to make the Bills into winners. I think Marrone has a much better chance of doing that than the two before him. But if anyone thinks Brandon making public statements like that isn't about marketing I have a bridge and some swamp land for sale.

I'm sure Russ Brandons public opinion for the last 13 years has been that the coach of the day was going to make the team winners. He wants to sell tickets, particularly seasons for gods sake. Do you really expect him to say that the Bills are going to suck this season so you are better off holding onto your money for a couple more years? When knowledgeable people who have no stake in the Bills organization say that kind of stuff it has some meaning. But even that isn't guaranteed to be correct, I refer you to last season as an example. The season isn't very far off now. In just a few weeks we will begin to know what this season will look like.

Not just windy, but gusty as well. Tough day to kick accurately for anyone.

Practice ended an hour early again today. Stevies reponse to my sons "how's the hammy" question ... "tight but getting better".

He was on the bike at practice yesterday and is supposed to be in the autograph tent today. My kids plan on asking him how the leg is while getting their Stevie jerseys signed

The nut is correct. They charge $1 for the shuttle bus for anyone over 12. My biggest camp expense is all the t-shirts my kids sweet talk my wife into buying.

Come on now, there is no reason to f@#$ your dog!

Based on my limited observations so far, my answer based on pure talent is a resounding "no way". However, other factors other than talent can change the outcome like cutting Kolb for salary etc.so who knows.

BellyCheat would use it against them.

According to my in house reporters, EJ looked good and Kolb looked pretty good as well. EJ tucked it in and ran once where Kolb was more likely to throw it away than run. Kolb was getting the crap blitzed out of him as well whereas they seemed to be letting EJ take his time and make the play rather than scramble. Lucky Kolb gets to be in while the D works on it's blitz packages

Good thing Marrone didn't take a job in a place like NYC if he gets that irritated so easily.

I'm surprised they didn't pad-up a little more today. It was a early morning practice and it was nice and cool.

I couldn't go today. I wish the Bills would put a series of webcams on various parts of the field for people to watch. But I suppose BellyCheat would record it all if they did.

Me, from my vast experience of watching him Sunday night.

I think "sucks" is way too strong. He is not a long term solution of course but seems more than capable of running things until Manuel is ready, then as a capable backup. All the people that are hell bent on getting Manuel starting NOW puzzle me. I don't care if it takes the entire season, I don't want him in until Marrone knows he is ready. For example, EJ seems to get happy feet real easy so far. That is OK in camp but is a sure way to get himself hurt in live games.

14 and a pair of 12's. Yeah they are young and far from experts but have been going to camp for years. They tend to focus on QBs and noticed Fitz's bad delivery before most. Take it for what its worth Oh and they like the Bills QB situation this year for the first time in their lives

My kids called today as a draw, but they said it is obvious to them that Manuel is the more talented overall of the two.

Funniest thing I've heard so far was from a 8ish year old girl at her first practice ... "geez Dad, number 99 needs to lay off the doughnuts"

I agree about the QB situation and also didn't see the kickers at all.

I can do that. Hey Russ, hook me up man.

I've never had any level of privilege there my knowledge is limited

Corporate tent I believe. I don't believe the people inside need to even be seasons holders.

i have a couple as well but they will be getting their rookie cards signed

Rent a kid (14 or under) and bring him/her tomorrow (Tuesday) to get EJ's autograph. http://www.buffalobills.com/team/training-camp/autograph-zone.html It it generally up to the players. Sometimes they are forced to go to the rich peoples area however. Fitz always spent time at the fence.
