    One Week In....a BillsZone Original by Alex Soto

    Here's Alex's breakdown of what he noticed at training camp.
    Thanks, Alex!

    On a beautiful Monday afternoon, I arrived at the Buffalo Bills training camp at St. John Fisher, eager to see the players strut their skills in front of me. As has been noted by others before, the shuttle buses have changed from comfortable air-conditioned smooth luxury rides, to crampy, hot school buses.
    Still, I can’t complain. The cost of the shuttle has remained $1.
    According to a friend of mine, who recently visited the Giants training camp in Albany, they had no shuttles and were forced to walk a good 20 minutes or so from the designated parking areas. Not a bad walk, but under a relentless sun in the afternoon it could be – not to mention the extra allocation time this increases toward your trip. The area to sit and watch in the Giant’s training camp was in endzone areas that made it difficult to see the opposite side, and the seats the seats were limited. In fact, he told me that maybe there were half the people in attendance, compared to the typical attendance he has seen at the Bills training camp. Overall, he called the Bills training camp experience and order of magnitude better that what the Giants offered.

    Derek Schoumann, however, looked athletic as he caught (often in stride) and advanced the ball.
    The TE is allowed to catch and advance the ball? Are you sure? Did anyone tell Steve Fairchild about this rule? Has anyone told Turk Schonert?

          Great article. Just wish you didn't go into detail after this part...seem to be adding an interesting play to the playbook..you know how teams spy on each other.
          I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

                He can reveal that if he wishes, but he is a well respected and intelligent contributor.

                  Both times I have been at camp I have had no worries about Trent's arm strength. He had just as much zip on the ball as Losman.
                  SUPER MARIO PLEASE COME TO BUFFALO!!!!

                    im looking forward to the preseason game, i know you can't tell much about the team from exhibition games, but im curious to see how poised trent looks behind center thus far.

                      nice report... much appreciated...

                      Gotta respect how the Bills treat their fans at camp. Never enough praise for that, and when you compare the Bills training camp from the fan aspect to the big market teams that have bigger cash streams, you really have to appreciate all the Bills have done over the years ( before the influx of Toronto monies)


                      I'm disspointed in our QB play, and it is starting to look like another seaosn of growing pains. I'll wait for the preseason before I get to worried, but none the less, worry is starting to settle in

                      thanks again ! Alex (what's your billszone handle)
