They did say that Stroud looks great and spent the day in the backfield and the Johnson will be contributor. They were less enthusatic about McCargo, they said they worry about him and are not convince that he'll add much. Guess we'll see...

Pat and Tim's worries: - McCargo / inside of the D line - Pass rush (though it might be too early to judge this) - TE; where is the guy that can draw coverage? Not on the roster. Could be Derek Fine though; middle reciever might be Parish rather than a TE. Bills might forgo the TE game and work the outside

Here's some Peter's talk with Brandon... - Didn't participate in OTA's or workouts, didn't show up for camp so we had to move on - He's a big part of the team and we love him and want him here, but we have to play games so you have to move on and get ready to play Sounds like the same - Peters has not contated them and they're not going to negotiate with him unless he comes to camp.

My favorite quote so far (when talking to Brandon about Whit's guarantee) "we know why, you have an in-shape team with an attitude! I love the LB corps" Can the season just start already!!

On Sirius (who is at training camp) they said he looks a little lost and that he is not a lock to be the starter. Greer is having a nice camp and will probaly have the job at the beginning of the year with McKelvin playing in the nickle...

Trust me it's too late! They just said Will James looks great and has raised some eyebrows. They also mentioned Reggie Corner, Xaiver Oman and Derek Fine...

Russ Brandon is going to be on in about 15... Man, I'm over-posting - good think I can listen, post AND work!!

Nothing yet, but there's still another hour... They did say everyone needs to temper their enthusiasm for Mckelvin - they think he'll be good, but it'll take some time. Look for him in start in the nickel and work his way into the starting line-up. Also, don't discount Greer.

They also said that Stroud looks good and spent the day in the backfield!

I'm not sure there is - the entire organization has made it clear (through the media, probably through Peter's agent) that they are NOT going to negotiate with Peters until he shows up at camp. It's that simple, if he shows up management (who knows that he's underpaid) will talk new contract with him...

Jauron said that Peters is not talking to the team...

First few interesting tidbits: - Poz looks GREAT - They think that Stroud is going to make a big difference - They said that McCargo is struggling (though they referred to last season with him, where I thought that he showed a couple flashes) Jauron is going to be on after the break...

Just a reminder - this just kicked off!!

Hells yeah!!

I got that text message too - Bowen is in!

Dan - thanks for clearing up the host... Buftex - great inside info; I often wonder how fun it would be to work in the Bills organization, knowing what's *really* up would be so fun. One of the things that I really like about Edwards is that he's a hard worker and a smart kid. Anyone have a link to that article that was written when he was in college talking about him prepping for the future? Not that I think JP is "dumb", I just think that Trent takes a smarter approach and is more willing to go the extra mile. Guess we'll find out soon! Unless of course they're both riding the bench behind Farve

Clearly Henry has a terrible case of glaucoma...

I missed the majority of the conversation, but Tim Ryan and Ross Tucker were taking about Brett Farve (yet again) and somehow JP taking over for Bledsoe came up. One of the two (Ryan I believe) said that from what he understood JP was not one to hang around after hours working on his game too much. He said that at the end of the day JP would go out the door with everyone else and that if a QB is going to be successful he needs to put in the extra time and JP didn't do that. Tucker went on to say that when the team dropped Bledsoe and they knew the JP was going to start they were upset because they knew they would be "starting over" (i.e. going from a vet to a rook, he was comparing the situation to Farve / Rogers). I just thought that Ryan's comments were really interesting; from all that I've read I thought that JP was putting in the extra time and was studying hard to be the best. In the end who knows what the truth is - let's just hope that Edwards is putting in the time needed to have success this year and beyond!!

D-Whit said the same thing on Sirius this afternoon and the NFLN just showed a teaser talking about Whitner's guarantee!

First off, I love the fact that there's Rick Ross track with "Marshawn Lynch on the b*itch* -- Beast Mode" as the chorus. We've finally entered the hip-hop lexicon! Of course if they ever do change the Shout! song we all know it will be to the 1994 MC Le-Vy classic "Go Bills" Go Bills! For we are here to cheer for you Go Bills! We are your fans so true With victory in sight We'll yell with all our might So, Go Bills! Fight Bills! Go! C'mon, let's win for Buffalo! Go Bills! We're with you Fight Bills! We're with you Go Bills! Let's win this game We'll raise up all our voices high The Bills teams spirit will not die So, Go Bills! Fight Bills! Go! C'mon, let's win for Buffalo! Go Bills! For we are here to cheer for you Go Bills! We are your fans so true With victory in sight We'll yell with all our might So, Go Bills! Fight Bills! Go! C'mon, let's win for Buffalo!

That game was fun to watch, right up until the last play. Just like the first time.

Ugh @ Joe Pendry. Crazy to see Flutie just looking on and our O line just sucking ass...

WAAAADE - PUT A F'N HEADSET ON!

RJ = No awareness. Zeglier sucks.

The game is on again, right now, NFL Network. This should be, um, fun? You have to wonder what would have happened had we won that game and got on a little roll. We were the top ranked D that year... Oh, watchin this makes me realize there was not HD back in the day. Lame.
