Mike32282 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I figured I haven't done one lately and I couldn't sleep, so I wrote one up. ------------------------------------------------------------ Today was another fast paced hard hitting day and it was the last of the double sessions. I was at the afternoon session where the players practiced on the nearest grass field and the Growney Stadium. The Buffalo Bills worked on a bunch of different drills and were in full pads today. There was definitely some nice hits as the players had a hard workout. The Bills worked on some individual drills, field goals, 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and some 11-on-11 drills this afternoon. After the players got their stretching done, they split into their individual units. The offensive players went over to Growney Stadium, while the defensive players stayed at the grass practice fields. I watched the defensive backs work on some drills since they were right in front of me. They started out with pass deflection drills and would try to knock the ball down or catch it. A bunch of players just knocked it away, but a couple of them came down with it. Next, Jerry Gray intentionally threw the ball right to them and was trying to get them to intercept the ball. Eric King dropped one, and a couple of the undrafted rookies did too, but everyone else did a nice job getting it. Finally before their drills ended, the defensive backs works on their hitting skills. One of the assistants would hold a pad and the players would run full force into it, with their shoulders and try to tackle it like they would with a player. On the other side of the field, the defensive lineman worked on tackling the sled with Coach Tim Krumrie, while the Linebackers worked on intercepting passes. Takeo Spikes had a nice leaping grab to haul one in. CLICK HERE for MORE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching him more lately and noticed him getting better and holding his own for pass blocking. I havent reported on him lately because he's done nothing to piss me off, but today he impressed me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they at least dress Shaud Williams in an effort to convince people to buy season tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just what I'm looking for. And, wow, does he look small next to the tight end in that pic. Thanks again, Mike. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are streaky at times and the backup QBs were off a bit yesterday, but overall, they are all starting to gell. JP Losman has definitely improved from when he first came here.
