I know little about him, but all the comments and everything written about him indicates he’s ‘a baller’ who can play bigger than his physical size. It’ll be interesting to see how he’s used in the Bills’ defensive schemes. Could he make a position change to be an eventual replacement for one of our veteran safeties? Could he be an undersized pit bull like a London Fletcher or Sam Mills? He’s one of the newbies I’ll be following closely, hoping he’s the next ‘unicorn’. I agree with you, I think he will make an impact. From what I’ve seen and read his comparable is Matt Milano, same size and playing style. I heard Bernard in an interview say that he studied alot of Matt Milanos playing style during his time at Baylor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) For those worried about the outside WR depth, the Bills clearly think the slot WRs can fit in there as needed.

stevewin Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Question for anyone who has parked in people's yards outside the campus. I was thinking of bringing a wheelchair for my Dad when we go next week - are there sidewalks etc where a wheelchair can be easily navigated. Would prefer this time to park there instead of dealing with the stupid school bus. Also - is there an ADA section set up near the practice field - I've never taken notice in the past.

716er Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 A couple of my thoughts from camp today... Gabe Davis had an incredible catch in the end-zone. A perfect throw from Josh. Could have just been the plays being run but I noticed Davis was streaking deep every time Josh threw the ball to someone else. Davis seemed to be showing off his new gear - was chirping a lot with the CBs after every rep Tim Settle's pick 6 was a beauty. He's also damn fast for a big guy. Bernard made Knox look like Robert Royal all day. Not a good practice by Knox. Bernard on the other hand looked like a Milano clone - except when he needed to cover a RB out of the backfield. He was burned a couple times on sweeps to the left. Cook once and I think Singletary. Watched Elam a lot. Ball was hardly thrown his way. Von looks as good as advertised Josh had a couple inaccurate throws near the sidelines but by the end of practice looked like the all-pro we know Punt god can kick it 5 1 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie has fumbled a total of 10 times in his career. 6 his first season with Denver (2017) and 2 with Buffalo in (2018). In his last 3 seasons with Buffalo, he has 2 fumbles. He has fumble issues, and he knows it too. Let's see how much work he is putting into improving and whether it's paying off. All the PR guys fighting for the job have 2 extremely different punters to work with this summer and the best performer "this year" will hopefully get the job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally he’d play Milano’s position in the 4-2-5, but if he continues to progress he’ll have to find a role on the field. Maybe that means taking Taron Johnson off and running a 4-3 more often, I don’t know. Taron is a CB with a LB mentality so we’ve been able to get away with running 70% nickel. ......But the bigger backs kill us. Taron cannot bring them down and they're usually in 3rd gear by the time he can close. If McFrazier can't prepare for what is obviously coming from the likes of Pitt,. Balt. ,Cincy Tenn. as well as everyone else, we may see twice as many of the Colts, N.E outcomes. Bernard is gonna make a huge difference....providing Frazier is not too stuck in his ways or McD is too timid to take over. BTW, 70% nickel will kill us in the 1st 4 games. 2/3s of the middle of the field to Milano's left will be the target area and even though I'm expecting....and very grateful for the Dline additions, 4 guys can't stop 6 and a back against a team Hell bent on running and T.O.P. Another tactic I expect to see is timing passes against us. Teams are gonna try to unload quick to backs to beat our improved pass rush. We gotta run a 4-3 and even with Miller, we're gonna need to blitz more. 4-3 can disguise Milano blitzing.

CA OC Bills Fan Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Went to camp today, took my father who turns 98 in 3 weeks. Was a little scared if it would be too hard for him, he reluctantly brought his cane with him when I insisted. We had no problems at all. Leaving one of the staff offered us a ride to the front but he refused. Then we were in the back of a long line to get on a bus but he refused. That time I insisted, he said "No, that's ok, I can wait." I said, "Thank you, yes, please take us to the front of the line to get on the bus." Then, a nice person in the front row sitting across from her husband and young son said, "Take their seat, they can walk to the back of the bus." Although my father insists on independence and that he can do whatever, I very much appreciate not having to make sure he doesn't trip while walking through a bus. I think it four years ago or so he tripped on one of the rubber things that cover the power cords going to WGR's tent. He was looking at the tent and didn't see the rubber thing, tripped, hit his head and hand on the ground and had a cut on his head. It was a bummer way to start the session. And, I have four tickets to next Saturday's practice and can't make it. First one to PM me I'll give them to. Of course, I've never used PM here, so not convinced I'll even see the response. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
