That’s Captain Dareus to you. Peak Marcel: getting popped for a 4 game suspension, announcing publically at the stadium before a preseason game that he’s going to rehab, showing up hours later on Chippewa in the same outfit, giant stomach and captain’s hat partying until the wee hours. 

 

“Oh did I say rehab? I meant me-flab.”

You gotta get that last one in before rehab starts. Don't you know nothing?

I hope a guard can put a safety on his ass downfield.  Kinda of table stakes for a guard.    Wait--Matt tweeted the word "ass"....?

A guard getting his hands on a safety is something. Good for him!

I am also excited about the potential to have cheaper players (including draft capital) at these type of positions but he has spent a lot of capital on the defense thus far.  I get the why for it but going forward the offense is gonna need to continue to get playmakers.  On the plus side I heard next year is supposed to be a great draft of WR.

I believe we will see high draft picks on offense next year.  Maybe even a top tier free agent player on offense.

Call me Foolish. That’s exactly what I think not practicing with alternating Guards on your new team on a 3rd Straight “day off” defines. 

 

He's just coming back from the core surgery.  He's old enough that he's gonna be at his most sore 2 days after heavy exertion.  Makes sense to give him 3 recovery days so that they can assess whether there's any pain indicative of surgery healing probs. vs just general "gimp and feel like crap 2 days post serious level-up in exertion"

 

Query your kid mebbe?

He had surgery recently. No reason to rush him back and cause issues. 

Edit- Seems like he he hasn’t participated in padded practices. He’s probably not ready for contact yet

 

I would think, if it was just "not ready for contact" they would put him in a red jersey and have him out there for positional drills etc. but hold him out of team drills.

Bills training camp 2019: Tuesday practice closed to public, here’s what happened (Day 5 observations)

 

2. Josh Allen turns in another strong day

 

The first pass Allen threw during team drills came on a roll out to his right and it wasn’t really close to the targeted receiver.

 

The rain had already begun to fall and it probably slipped out of his hands. From that point on Allen looked dialed in. He was spreading the ball around and finding spaces in the defense to attack.

 

He found Zay Jones on a nice 10-yard ball to the right that fit in perfectly in a big gap in the defensive zone. Later he almost found John Brown on a 20-yard sideline ball that Brown couldn’t bring in (despite the accuracy of the pass) and then delivered a beautiful deep ball that went off the hands of receiver Robert Foster.

3. LeSean McCoy starting to round into form

 

Running back LeSean McCoy hasn’t made a ton of noise so far in camp but Tuesday he looked like he was feeling good. He had a couple nice runs and after one even said, “I got my legs today,” as he ran back to the sideline.

 

Veteran back Frank Gore and rookie Devin Singletary have both had strong camps and figure to be a big part of the Bills offense this season. But McCoy seems to still have juice left in the tank and looked healthy and quick on Tuesday.

A quick check in on our 1st rounders from last year:

 



Allen didn’t look overwhelmed by the weather, continuing to throw the ball with strong velocity and decent placement throughout the morning. As has been common, he did have one blunder. This time, Allen had a pass batted at the line of scrimmage by Jordan Phillips. Matt Milano took advantage and snagged an interception that would have been a pick six.

Allen’s best throw of the day was a touch throw down the sideline to Zay Jones, a receiver who wasn’t heavily involved in the previous four practices. Allen’s traits that continue to stand out are his patience in the pocket and ability to make accurate throws to the intermediate areas of the field. We’ll see if this carries over into the preseason games.

 

 

The Bills have high hopes for their young middle linebacker, Tremaine Edmunds. It seems with every practice, Edmunds is providing the team with more evidence of how good he can become. Before practice kicked into high gear on Tuesday, linebackers coach Bob Babich wanted to make sure Edmunds and the rest of his group knew what level of intensity he was looking for. Babich proclaimed, “Today, we are thudding!” The term “thud” means he wants full contact, while stopping just short of tackling the player. Before Edmunds went into his first linebacker rep, Babich screamed, “Thud his ass!” to reinforce the message.

The 21-year-old starting middle linebacker took the advice and ran with it the rest of the day, covering lots of ground regardless of the offensive play call. Edmunds was quick to diagnose runs out wide and throws to the flat, often getting to the ball carrier for a stop or a pass breakup. Against the run, he’s getting better at seeing the blocks happening in front of him and meeting the ball carrier at the line of scrimmage. Those improvements were on full display Tuesday, but Edmunds isn’t all the way there yet. He needs to use his arm length to extend and get away from blocks better than he has over the last 12 months. He could also learn to use his hands more effectively, too.

 

I like the direction of this team a lot.
