Am I the only one that feels like we shouldn't know this stuff? I mean, we're not privy to practice any other time so why now?

 

I get that it's a great thing for fans and all, just very different to what I'm used to with the sports I grew up with.

The NFL wants people to know. They want the year round attention.

I love it and I hate. It's great to have the access but it's so annoying how fans and the media knee jerk to everything that happens in practice. Practice is the time for making mistakes and learning from them. The nerds with microphones and notebooks who mostly likely have never played football on any level love laughing at pro's mistakes. Last year, it was the EJ pass. Now, it is Cardales turn.

 

The Bills in 90s didn't even practice in training camp. Access is great but it's too much.

EJ throws perfect deep ball to Little, who had maybe quarter of a step on Corey White. He drops it. That's what washed him out in Cleveland

 

@thadbrown7

 

Tyrod misses wide open Clay to start red zone. Comes back with 2 excellent balls to Hankerson and Woods.

If Little didn't have feet for hands, he'd be a star wr. This guy has bounced around the league for a reason.

I'm told by a source familiar with Chargers WR Stevie Johnson's knee injury that he has a torn meniscus & will have surgery soon @nflnetwork

 

That sucks, I hope Stevie gets better soon!

I still love Stevie. He has really struggled with injuries. He still can be productive when healthy.

I'm sure I'd feel a little differently if I could attend but it's a process. Not everyone is at the same level at this point and, as you said, mistakes will happen. Really doesn't help with the era of social media with "fans" getting on the back of a player over one mistake.

 

Personally, I take note of personnel trends etc. but I let my mind be swayed on players through preseason games.

#Bills Rex: Gilmore is the most impressive player so far at camp

 

Love it. I hope Gilmore stays healthy and plays with an edge all year. Nothing would be better for his demands to be paid as the best CB than to play as the best CB. Hopefully, we'll sign TT and be able to hang the tag over Gilmore's head instead, which is where I think he's headed.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Just left. Will report later on my "notes." Just wanted to say that Tyrod is an absolute class act. One of the few players to sign autographs after practice. He stayed until every last person who wanted one got an autograph. Took pictures with anyone who asked. What a humble and generous person.

For maybe the first time ever I look forward to hearing from you.😄

lmao....I don't blame you.

While the play on the field is the most important it feels good to know that Tyrod Taylor gets the "face of the franchise" thing

 

Tyrod Taylor has that it factor when it comes to things like getting respect from team mates and not being aloof to the fans of the team......these are things that you genuine have or you dont.
