chris heff Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I find the concept of holding training camp at a remote location archaic. It seems to me that it is based on MLB model, but it is from an age gone by. These players are professionals, if living in a tiny dorm room for three weeks is required to make them focus then they need to change careers.

chris heff Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 i thought MLB did it for weather purposes That is true which supports my point. NFL doesn't need to do it because of weather, so why do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) That is true which supports my point. NFL doesn't need to do it because of weather, so why do it?most teams don't do it anymore, which is why I thought McD might move on from it. I think it's more complex though than what he wants. That said there isn't any evidence that he wants to, I thought in the presser, he sounded like it was important this year in particular to gel as a team with so much "new" in place - but overall I got the impression he could really take it or leave it. Jmo of course, it was just my impression of how he sounded when talking about it. Edited June 21, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707BillsFan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Jumping into this a little late...Sucks training camp will be cut short a week. I drop my daughter off at Fisher a day after camp breaks. It's been a blast the three previous years getting to see camp. Oh well. My question, does anyone know if they'll have open camps once they get back to Buffalo? I know they have one in early August, but wondering about after the move. My two cents, I hope they stay at Fisher. It's done a lot for the Rochester area and with the money given to Fisher, it's helped them build up some nice facilities. It seems like a perfect match.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 SJF only has 90+ dorm rooms? it was humor (an attempt at least) it's the walk to the showers down the hall. :lol: another an attempt at humor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707BillsFan Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Bad humor ... she plays collegiate volleyball there, they start team training before college starts up. They've been there w/ the Bills for the past 3 season (many more before she arrived). Any yes, they're put into a different residential hall than the Bills.

26CornerBlitz Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 21 - Who will be the starting middle linebacker? In what looks to be a two-horse race, Preston Brown and Reggie Ragland will be pitted against one another for the right to start at middle linebacker in Buffalo's new 4-3 scheme.

badassgixxer05 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Anyone know if they sell tickets to get into the VIP area of practice? Or are those areas just reserved for people who know people? Thought would be cool to get down in there nice and close and to get autographs with my nephew when bills are coming out onto practice field.

They have some players designated to sign after each practice but often more guys stay (depending on when their meetings are). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
