Training Camp - Day 5 (please keep commentary TC-related)

[SCBills]

Sounds like strong play on both sides between Moore, Coleman and Palmer vs Hairston and IGB.

That is the first NFL workout I’ve seen in 40 years that I could start and finish.   I do that at a community gym.    I will tell Mrs. Neo that I work out like pro athletes.

 

 

 

Well, like an injured pro athlete, but still…

KEO needs to calm down. We need this guy healthy if we want to get to and win the SB.

Bové said that Parker threw the punch, so I suspect he was protecting his teammate.  Nice!

 

nothing like a little chippyness when the pads come on, to get the blood pumping.

The Bickerin’ Bills are back!

 

 

 

Unlikely, but intriguing nonetheless

I'm 'enjoying' the Coleman stuff a little more this year because I expect nothing from him. Last year we were relying on him a bit more going into the season and got all the hype from guys like Dawkins. I think for most of us it's a case of hoping for the best but expecting the worst once the real games start.

 

But I'm enjoying it because we have Moore and Palmer is healthy, and I can just see what happens with Coleman without any expectations. If he ends up surpassing people's expectations and things genuinely click for him it'll be a great bonus.

Settle down KEO

Sounds like the offense is cooking out there. Hopefully there is Moore to come. Isn't the defense usually ahead at this point though? Not that they aren't making plays or that I am complaining or anything. Just used to hearing more about defensive plays when the pads first come on or my brain damage remembers incorrectly.

I wasn't too excited about getting Moore because last few times I seen live plays of him he dropped the ball every time. I am starting to get pretty excited about it though. Can't wait to watch his first catch and his first TD as a Bill!

We are doing a lot of coddling for a kicker.  

Doesn't look good for the first look regarding comments from the Bills about their only kicker on the team. IMO

They better have a backup plan. It's not a matter of if he starts missing but when.

It is a theme this off-season of protecting players. I'm not sure I like it but you gotta say they have planned it all along. Shorter practices, bringing along Bernard and Williams slowly, half day Pads on before full pads on. I'd think, especially on defense side, with the scheme change and so many 1st &2nd year players, you want more on-field game-like practices. But they clearly identified player health as a top issue and tried something different with Brady at the helm. 

 

No one know if it works. We do what did not work. And we don't know the impact either --- readiness of the players at the beginning of the season, etc.

McDermott loved his undersized old vets.

 

Please take this stuff somewhere else.

 

This is a thread that people come to for training camp updates; not to wade through off topic nonsense about McDermott, Beane, Pegula, etc.

I don't want to get too hyped up but this has the potential to be the best offense in Allen's career. A lot of DJ Moore trade takes are going to end up looking very silly. We're 5 days into camp and it's immediately apparent that he's the 2nd best pass catcher Allen has ever had in his career. A different specimen completely from what Allen has had to work with the past few years.

I'm starting to get excited about Moore, and seeing this outstanding catch is the latest thing to get me pumped. @HappyDays said the other day that Moore's deep-threat skills will open up space for the Bills' talented underneath players, which caused me to remember that Moore ALSO is a serious talent on underneath stuff, too, and he can run with the ball. Defenses will be punished by this passing attack if they key on Cook and the running game.

When the last time we saw a clutch catch like that. If Moore can do it consistently, we finally have a WR that can help Allen out. 

 

I was always calling for more RB pass plays last year! They can all catch (although Cook can get distracted on the easy ones). 

 

Here's hoping this is a breakout year for multiple players on O. Allen should be chasing the MVP, and we can finally steam roll some opponents. It's a tough draw ou tof the gates! but how nice would the #1 seed be!
