Practice News Week of Aug 29th


Beck Water

Recommended Posts

I've seen a few specific reports about injuries, but nothing about practice in general.

Thought I'd start one

 

 

McKenzie, Howard, Mancz, Doyle, and Settle off to the side.

 

As already reported, Morris pulled up on a route and was stretched on the sideline before heading to the locker

 

Dawkins says "We're already past it.  It's over with" about Araiza's release

No!  This is something that will haunt the locker room and derail a championship season!

I get its their job but the media can feel so cringy sometimes in trying to extract quotes from players. Like they are themselves monetizing the issue.

Some press folk need lessons on reading the room, any question concerning our recent punter are totally cringy at this point, if I’m a player being interviewed, I stop all the reporters up front and state that I will not be acknowledging any questions on that topic, and when one still asks, I reply next question please,

Every reporter in that room has an editor or boss who expects them to ask questions about Araiza and its effect on the current players.

I'm pretty sure that the players have all been given guidance on what they should absolutely NOT say, as well as talking points if they wish to use them

 

But it would not be a good look, PR wise, for the players to comprehensively refuse to acknowledge questions on that topic at this time.

 

The players are, as I understand it, free to refuse to talk to the press in the locker room at any time, and of course, a player can say "that's tough, I'm not at a point where I can talk about it, do you have other questions?"

The topic about his release have been covered, The reporters need to move on about that subject. Any furter discusiion about someone that is not on the team anymorel is not benifical to the Buffalo Bills.  Am I the only one that is done hearing about.

I'm surprised not to see anything from Ferguson or Bass, maybe they let them avoid questions for now?

I could be mistaken, but while all players are (overall) required to be accessible to the press, I believe it is always the player's choice whether or not to answer questions.

 

I would expect that Bass and Ferguson in particular would have a harder time processing the events of the last week.  They were close friends with Haack as I understand it.

Unless you’re  like 12 years old I totally don’t get how you didn’t learn the lesson Marshawn taught us a few years back. They never changed the rules.

I love this kids IQ, attitude, and approach.  Hoping he puts it all  together and produces on the field. Pulling for you #24!  


He’s impressive. Also anytime Mitch Morse answered questions is impressive. Very thoughtful guy.

The Morse interview shows us why the Bills value him so much. That is an example of true leadership. Human, thoughtful, and respectfully presented. I like that our QB gets to learn about football, and life, from him.

 

And vice versa.  I’m sure those two have great conversations.

I don’t agree that it would be a bad look in the slightest, simply say that the team has already made a statement (which it has) I have nothing more to add, next question…,, in essence, what i posted previously,  I am not saying be confrontational, just draw a line, the press has already been informed in full by the HC & GM, at the PC,  further questions at this point are for click bait, and serve no other purpose, being that all those locker room reporters were at the PC…, it is just gossip at this point, and is a bad look for the press, not the players.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
