    Bills' 2018 Training Camp Practice Day 10 - Closed to the Public

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

     

    Here's the parts we all care about:

     

    Nathan Peterman shines

    It was apparent early that Nathan Peterman was feeling it. In one of the first 11-on-11 drills, Peterman went 6 of 6 against the first-team defense and finished the streak with a gorgeous ball to Kelvin Benjamin.

    Peterman said that as camp progresses, it becomes easier to settle into a rhythm as repetitions begin to add up.

    "The more reps you get -- especially with a new offense and with those players, too, finding the chemistry and timing ... and then your understanding of the play -- just helps so much," Peterman said. "You get so many different looks on the same play that it can be five different outcomes with five eligible receivers. Just getting all those different looks and starting to settle into a rhythm is good. Obviously in the game that will be a big test of that to settle into that rhythm, and then into the preseason and regular season as well."

    The Bills' quarterback competition is still playing out and the team still hasn't announced which player will start in the first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday. Peterman's surge early in week three of camp could lead to important game reps Thursday.

     

    A.J. McCarron seems flustered in pocket

    It was another day to forget for A.J. McCarron, who has struggled with pressure and making quick decisions lately.

    McCarron was sacked multiple times at practice and seems uncomfortable at times going through his progressions. He'll likely get a chance to run the first team tomorrow before the team gets an off day Wednesday before Thursday's first preseason game.

     

    Josh Allen lighting up radar gun

    The zip Josh Allen puts on his passes is truly remarkable to see up close. Allen was snapping the ball off the wrist and firing it to receivers again Monday.

    A few receivers struggled to hold onto the ball as Allen was fitting the ball into tight windows, especially in the red zone. Allen changes his arm angle depending on the situation and what kind of pressure he's under. It seems he maintains the speed on his fastball regardless of the angle.

    Yes, I think McCarron has the potential to be a younger version of Kyle Orton.  Not exactly anything to get too excited about.

     

    Yeah I see Kyle Orton as his ceiling. Which isn't too bad but personally I'd prefer Peterman or Allen to start. I dont care about our record this year so I want to see the unknown. If they fail no harm done. If McCarron plays like Kyle Orton for one year what do we get out of it? I'd rather know what we have for the future. JMO

    If they liked Foster they wouldn’t have made the move. He’s had a disappointing camp.

     

    The Bills made this move because they are desperate for speed (especially if Allen is going to play at some point). 

     

    There good thread going on Twitter from Jake Burns. He’s basically like “Cover 1” but analyzing the Browns. I suggest everyone take a look at his opinions on it. He’s way, way, way more informed than any of us on Coleman as a pro.

     

     

     

    I thought catch percentage meant catchable balls. If that just means targets his catch percentage is meaningless. Anyone questioning why the Browns gave up a high 3rd for Tyrod Taylor should watch that video.

    There have to be questions about why the price is so low

     

    I would usually guess salary cap, even on his rookie contract Coleman is overpaid for what he's actually done on the field. But the Browns don't need a lot of salary cap for 2 or 3 years so I think they're just trying to let their other receivers have a shot. Their 4th round pick Antonio Calloway has looked good.

    Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold were not treated in this fashion by their head coaches.

     

    There's a whole lot of wrong in that weird rant you posted, but this part is the most wrong. Every rookie QB this year is starting as 2nd or 3rd string. Allen actually has the best shot of them all to start week 1. Don't blame McDermott for a Bleacher Report writer's ignorance.
