Bills' Rookie Minicamp is May 11-12 - Saturday Practice Closed to the Media


Recommended Posts

Allen should give us reason for optimism and for pause. He’s the most physically gifted QB to ever put on a Bills uniform. He has a ways to go but we should all be excited about “what could be.” If he turns into “the guy” this team may be competing for Super Bowls. I don’t think that it’s time to fit him for a gold jacket but there nothing wrong with being excited that he’s here.

Big ole sip right here!

 

 

But keep the $20... That won't even buy the beer I drink, much less the scotch.

I switched to Michters Bourbon, and I absolutely love it.  Also those IPA caskmates that Jameson makes are pretty good too.

A bunch of clips of them working on footwork. I saw another one where they threw the green balls at him to simulate pocket pressure which forced him to move around.

 

I love his quick release. It's out right after Daboll claps his hands. 

I really appreciated whoever it was saying ‘great location’ at the end there.

Well war admiral was called a “great horse” by seabiscuits trainer

And Seabiscuit beat the crap out of War Admiral in their match race.

It was pink and we drank that crap for almost an entire year in middle school. Probably explains why i'm so messed up now. 

 

Ok, I remember now... Despite being toxic it was delicious over ice.

Allen is the new QB and we hope he does well.

 

As do I...   If all of you are  still standing in October, I might take a swig of Koolaid myself..

At least Allen doesn’t look like a troll. He’s quite fetching.

 

Or basically the opposite of Josh Rosen.

 

It took me a while, but I finally figured out who Rosen reminded me of.

Maker's mark almost rotted my guts out the 90's... I have too much respect for scotch to abuse it the same way. :lol:

True, yet War Admiral won the Triple Crown, Seabiscuit did not.

Doesn’t that feel like a little bit of a Marino (War Admiral) & Kelly (Seabiscuit) debate?

I never felt like Kelly was that much of an underdog to Marino.  He definitely belonged.   Now maybe Flutie/Marino that's a War Admiral/Seabiscuit

It was more of “the giant numbers” vs. “the guy he couldn’t beat.”

 Fiddich 18 when I need to think.... Balvenie for gameday sipping. (By the way I consider every day gameday.)... Glenmorangie for the winter Holidays.

Man you have a strange definition of drinking the kool aid.  

 

I'm not against anyone liking Allen... I'm actually glad he's re-energizing the fanbase somewhat... I just didn't like what he cost... If he proves to be worth it, I'll be the first to own up... Either way, he'll be here for a while.

I would agree with you but as the cost goes, 1-st and a couple of seconds while not mortgaging the future in 2019 was just fine with me.   we didn't hurt the future of the franchise one bit.  We got a 1st round pick this year in Edmunds, and we got IMO a 2nd round talent in Phillips as well.   I'm happy we have Allen and happy at what we didn't give up to get him.  

 

if he doesn't work out, we draft another guy down the road but at the very least we're still building a solid team right now.

I said it was going to take awhile for me to warm up on Allen and the arrow is already starting to point in that direction.  

so, your saying your getting a stiffy?

TC and pre-seaze  will answer many questions... I can't wait.

Only on TBD would a fan base need "re-energizing" after getting to the playoffs for the first time in 18 years.

Many fans lost interest in those 18 years... Getting to a wildcard game and scoring 3 points didn't alter the teams image all that much.

Joe B: 5 takeaways from Buffalo Bills rookie minicamp 2018

1) Daboll attached to Allen’s hip
2) The plan for Edmunds has been revealed
3) Phillips powers through
4) Taron Johnson’s initial role
5) Proehl’s route running stands out

 

Three thumbs up that Daboll was so interactive with Allen.  My question is can he keep that up once the season starts, especially if Allen is not the guy starting.

I liked how Allen handled himself in front of the mic

 

At first I was like "why is Kelly out there and why the press so many questions to Allen about Kelly" and then it hit me - maybe that's why.  By coming out and talking to Allen, Kelly had to know the kid would get a lot of questions on Kelly and it would take the edge off the ravening horde firing questions about accuracy.

 

Speaking of which, who was the guy who asked Allen if he felt like he was being watched more every practice to see if he's inacccurate or something like that?  :rolleyes:
