Random Thought: I watched the replay of the Cowboys and Bills Monday Night game and forgot how punter Moorman set the tone of the game (fake punt and run 1st down - then punt on 2 yard line) for the Bills first TD interception. Punting with Moorman and kicking with Lindell is a Bills strength.
QBs: Edwards struggled with the long ball at first but settled down later on and towards the end of practice completed allot of nice passes outside his short-medium zone. I really like Edwards but the coaches need to give him a real kick in the butt!
Edwards beats himself up when he misses a long pass. He needs to remember that mistakes are the best teachers and he needs to embrace them, learn from them, and move on!
JP Losman: You want to strangle him! He shows such swagger and confidence in completing the long ball but just goes AWOL on the short to medium passes.
Seems that the long ball (x-y axis) is quite comfortable to him but the short pass of WR route, pass window, and defender (X-Y-Z axis) causes him grief in the anticipation department. That's Turk's problem, not mine!
Matt Baker made a couple of nice throws with zip and I will be watching him in pre-season as the possible number three QB.
RBs: Marshawn Lynch was EVERYWHERE! Both sidelines, middle, back field, and slot catching passes. I may have to down grade my 18 TDs & 1800 Yards prediction as "conservative".
Fred Jackson is the real deal and made great running plays and nice catches DOWN FIELD as well!
RB Wright stepped up his game and made an impact on both sides of the ball. Great running and one of the best hits of the day! He ALSO caught a ball DOWN FIELD.
WRs: Hardy is UNSTOPPABLE!!!! No way to cover him. I understand now why he had so many TD's in college while being double teamed. Hardy is the short-medium pass range "Randy Moss". Edwards is gonna luv him!
Lee Evans: The Best! Luv this GUY!!!!! Pay him NOW!!!!
Roscoe Parrish: I saw a really tight sweetie who smiled at me but was wearing Roscoe jersey and my wish that he get pasted came true! Roscoe made some great catches and took some tough hits.
It seems that the Bills coaching staff are going to use the sidelines as a "cushion" to prevent Roscoe from getting pasted from the LB and CB at the same time. Roscoe will spread the field for the rest of the team!
TEs: Schouman still amazes me whenever he makes a "Marshawn Lynch" open field move like today or last pre-season.
Courtney Anderson wasn't on my list before but he is now. He made a few plays that caught my eye!
LBs, CBs, S: Whitner got into the backfield to bust up the play but overall they were owned by the offense. How can you not bust up the running game when they throw you 15 running plays in a row?
I will say that the "no tackling" rule in camp takes away the fear that the defense can impose on the offense and will wait until the pre-season games to make any real judgment.
DT: Marcus Stroud was invisible! The DTs are not making any impact and previous camp reports are confirming that. Coach Fewell needs to sit down with his DT "Fource" and get an identity: speed, smarts, nasty, strength? They seem lost!
DEs: Aaron Schobel seems to have a unique "on-off" switch and a short fuse that he saves for his opponents instead of his teammates. Aarron may have to take a swipe or two at the offense to get his DL crew on board. Whitner needs some help and Schobel is the man to do it!
OL: Hard to gauge with ineffective DL but they did their job!
Added Notes: Alot of great hits and very physical at times. Coaches had two QBs throwing at the same time to WRs. Allot of noticeable plays by " perimeter" players!
I was disappointed that the OL didn't make it to the fence for autographs because of storms!
The Bills coaching staff will iron out the DT troubles and the 12-4 prediction still stands!
BTW, sorry for the late, long winded, and blotchy report!
Gotta luv training camp!!!!
