It was a beautiful summer night Saturday at the campus of St
John Fisher College. Football was in the
air and the fans were in full attendance.
The wife and I made our yearly trek down the 90 from Buffalo to the
Bills training camp. For those who haven’t
made the trip it is something any Bills fan should do. The Bills really have things there down
pat. The setup is great, especially for
the night practices. The fans have a
great site line.

As far as the practice went the offense worked very much on
the running game. The Oline definitely
was holding their own. Back was Eric
Wood and Pears to the mix. They didn’t
take every rep but it was good to see them out there. Spiller and Freddy J look as sharp as could
be, with Spiller looking especially quick.
Johnny White looked especially impressive out there as well. He is doing whatever he can to make this
team.
In the passing drills none of the QBs were overly
sharp. Fitz had some nice deep balls to
Hagan and Easley but the intermediate stuff wasn’t crisp. Thigpen was off in all facets, underthrowing
several deep passes. Vince Young was ok
but not great. The QBs were forced to
run gassers after the practice which should tell you what Gailey thought of
their efforts.
On the defensive side of the ball they were focusing on pass
rush techniques and coverage schemes.
Shawne Merriman looked very good off the ball, quick and explosive. The rest of the line was getting off the ball
hard lead by Marcel Dareus. Arthur Moats
looked especially quick in the coverage drills.
It made me feel a bit better about him manning the outside.
All in all it was a great day and I am glad the Bills
extended their stay at St John Fisher.
They really do the event the right way and it has kept me coming back
year after year.
