How someone looks. Now, if Thad had said "Trip is tougher than he looks" or "Trip isn't as cute as he looks; in fact, he's a jerk," THAT would make sense. (disclaimer: I have never met Trip and do not know whether or not he is a jerk. I'm sure he's a nice kid.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 3 quick takeaways from Day 6 of Bills training camp The intensity was cranked up for the quarterbacks on Day 6 of Buffalo Bills training camp from St. John Fisher College. Prior to the start of practice, head coach Sean McDermott announced it’d be the first time the group consisting of AJ McCarron, Nathan Peterman and rookie Josh Allen would see two-minute drills and third-down situational play. How did the trio handle it?

They were running a lot of two minute drill stuff today. From reading the play by play Tweets, QBs were throwing balls away on purpose and spiking the ball. I remember one screen pass where they said Allen drilled the ball into the RBs feet because it was blown up. The sacks a bad sign of things to come with the O-line though.

Well, it's those "word choices" that speak directly to his understanding of the game and, by extension, his very credibility as a reporter. Sorry, but you can't "report" a deliberate throwaway by a QB as a "brutal incompletion" and not expect to be taken to task for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, like that's what I'm advocating by critiquing his reporting. Ironically, you've overreacted to your perceived overreaction by others to Thad Brown's reporting.

I can't speak to why anyone else has been "beating him up", but as far as I'm concerned, not being able to distinguish between a deliberate throwaway and a "brutal incompletion" as he phrased it, calls into question everything else he reports on.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Joe B: 7 observations from 2018 Buffalo Bills training camp - Day 6 (WKBW) - To open up the month of August, the Buffalo Bills decided to structure their practice a bit differently than the previous five days to see just how far they've come to this point. The Bills, rather than doing 7-on-7s and 1-on-1s, stayed as a team and continued along with the most reps of 11-on-11s in one day of camp. Each quarterback neared around 20 pass attempts through the practice, which led to extensive opportunities for all players to make a name for themselves with meaningful reps. How did the team fare? Seven observations from Day Six of training camp: 1) Sack frenzy in team drills 2) The context behind the QB stats 3) A whimpering two-minute drill 4) Rod Streater getting extended first-team time 5) A tale of two undrafted rookie receivers 6) Bills keep moving Keenan Robinson around 7) Proehl struggling to stand out Day 6 MVP: WR Cam Phillips - As the pads have gone on, Phillips has risen to the challenge and is making an outstanding play almost on a daily basis. Wednesday was his best day so far. Day 6 LVP: WR Austin Proehl - Proehl needs to show up a lot more than he has because if he waits too long, he could get passed by a number of receivers trying to crack the 53-man roster. Up Next: Day Seven on Thursday, August 2 at 8:45 am. Edited August 1, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) I'm especially encouraged by this: Quote As for Allen, he salvaged the two-minute drill on his first play with an incredible throw down the left sideline to Cam Phillips that hit a tight window between two defenders -- a total zone-busting throw, and it went for 26 yards. Allen's next two plays were both throwaways when he saw he didn't have anyone, but on 3rd-and-10, he had Ray-Ray McCloud on a slant pattern that he made in stride, but the rookie dropped it over the middle of the field. Allen threw a 26 yard strike that no other QB on the team could hope to make. Then apparently correctly threw the ball away on 2 consecutive plays. Then hit a WR in stride on a slant that could have been a 3rd down conversion if it wasn't dopped. This is just day 6 of his first ever training camp. It's hard to not be excited with where he's at this early in the process. Sounds to me like he's getting better every practice and always making at least a couple throws per practice that Peterman and McCarron don't have the natural ability to do.

I feel the exact same way about this sequence of plays. the tight throw. the awareness to clock it away on 2 straight and then drill a wr in stride on a slant.... very cool to hear. dunno how people cant feel optimistic about allen. I get that it was with the 3's. so context is necessary. but I still like his trajectory. Edited August 1, 2018 by Stank_Nasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Allen learning to deal with QB spotlight Pittsford - Josh Allen had another up and down practice on Wednesday. It's not unusual for him or for most NFL rookies. He's learning how to handle the roller coaster performances. Whether it's fans, media or coaches, he knows all eyes are on him. "Everybody's looking at the quarterback. Looking at your mannerisms, your body language," Allen said. "I started a little shaky today and I might have let my emotions get the best of me at one point, but on to the nex period. Ended up making some really good throws at the end and finishing strong."
