If Barkley’s arm was just 20% stronger….. -

Kincaid might end up being scary good. Dude is just smooth out there -

In a preseason game, the only two things you should really care about is fundamentals and one on one matchups. Bills were trash with both -

Happy to see Barkley get the nod here -

If he didn’t hold at the end, Josh would have gotten creamed -

I really hope to see him live up to the contract they signed him to. I know it wasn’t massive or anything, but I’ve just yet to see us use a player like him the right way. And with Isabella, I do feel like they are both similar players -

Every single defender got manhandled in one on one blocks. I know it wasn’t intentional, but every play that drive went to Jackson’s side of the field -
If TJ is lined up on Brown, run or spike the ball.

Practice Wed 8/16 starting with Dorsey interview
Virgil replied to Beck Water's topic in The Stadium Wall
Met him at camp. Dude is ripped, but showed great burst and seemed dialed in. With his versatility as a returner, I like keeping him on the roster. I'd say try to get Shakir on the practice squad, but we know the Giants (Bills 2.0) won't let that slide -
Practice fight (8/15) - Helmets are swinging

I don’t know how to love this man any more than I do -
Agreed overall. As the game started, I immediately thought boogie was out there as a showcase for potential trade bait. I feel really bad for all the receivers in the first half. Just a wasted opportunity for them to show their stuff with Allen at qb. For them alone, I hope Barkley gets the nod after Josh next week. These guys deserve a chance too. I’m not concerned about the Elam/Jackson battle as much as I am making sure Tre looks fully back. I think this team has a lot of tough financial decisions coming up and draft picks will be huge for them. I’M NOT saying trade Elam, but I think they might want to move one of them. It was hard to judge so much of the defense because you know they weren’t showing their hand or tailoring the plays to the Colts. I was hoping to see more of Rapp in the hybrid spot.

Isabella could earn a spot on special teams alone. We don’t need to carry a 5th rb on this roster anymore for special teams, so that spot could go to a receiver. Diggs, Davis, Sherfield, Harty, Shakir, and Isabella could happen.
-
Last year, we really wanted someone that could replace Beasley as that guy who found open zones on 3rd down, and that’s who Shakir was thought to be. With Kincaid on the team, Sherfield and Harry seemingly locked in, Shakir is fighting for a starting job. Considering where he was drafted and the lack of trade value, I don’t see Beane moving on. Especially since Gabe could be gone after this year
-
Please don’t confuse my comment with my opinion of his worth. He’s looked terrible to me in camp and this game. I hope he never sees the field for a real game. I’d rather Matt all the way as the backup
-
Josh won’t let them. He’s as much here to be a backup as he is to support/coach Josh. Also, if I’m not mistaken, Beane’s always been high on Kyle
-
I’d take a 5th for him. He’s a known distraction with his new celebrity gf
-
Does anyone know when they get put on the shelves? Is it right at open?

He’s back on the player sideline, no trainers around him. Looks to be fine -

Diggs just limped off the field fast and is being looked at by trainers -
Training Camp Questions for those who've been already
Virgil replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m hesitant to say this, but….. I think the Bills should be more transparent about players signing autographs each day. I understand that you can’t sign for every fan and that some fans are just trying to get sellable merchandise. However, when you’re at camp, the team has zero issue featuring and selling a ton of white panel footballs and helmets for player signatures. Also, you can see kids literally sitting for two hours in areas around the fence, waiting for the end of practice. Once practice was over, the secondary unused field had fans surrounding it, hoping players would come out. Von Miller signed for a few kids, but only in the VIP area (which, how do you even get those?) With that being said, I think the team should be more transparent about autographs. If they players aren’t signing, put up signs so people are wasting money or time. If they are signing, tell fans where and possibly who. Yes, camp is to get the team ready for the season, but it’s also for the fans. I’m just asking that they acknowledge that a little and be honest up front. Having a ten year old daughter, I think I did a good job of preparing her for not getting an autograph, but you could see a lot of kids utterly disappointed. There’s only 10 camp days all year? Is having players sign for 30 min at the end of each day really that bad? Or even rotating offense and defense? I get that none of us are owed anything, but again, at least acknowledge the fans and what you know they are waiting/paying for -
Yeah, let me know if there’s more and how much

Whenever I go to a camp, it’s interesting to see how the starters act vs guys who have jobs locked up. For example, you absolutely know Josh is our starting QB, even without seeing him throw. It’s not a cocky thing, just how they interact and sometimes do their own thing. With that being said, Cook looks the part to me. Murray did have a great day too, but Cook looks like a guy who knows he’s gonna be the man. Harry looks like a kid stole a jersey and snuck on the field in a bad Disney movie. Dude is so tiny you worry he will get hurt. Shakir and Josh seem to have a pretty good relationship. Tons of swing passes and check down drills today.
