    BillsZone Training Camp Report: 8/5/2010

     Buffalo Bills Training Camp Gallery - Thursday, August 5, 2010

    It was the Day 8 of the Buffalo Bills Training Camp and the first full week of practice is now complete. The team continued to practice in full pads and work harder than they have worked in years. This is truly a different camp from what we are used to seeing. There is a lot more work on individual drills, plus more one-on-one teaching by the coaches. The players are also a lot more focused. As always, the team spent time working on the 7-on-7, 9-on-9, and the 11-on-11 drills. The team also worked on special teams drills, including kickoff coverage and line blocking on punts.

    The players started out the day right away like they usually do by working on gap assignments and doing a quick walk-thru. Following the walk-thru, the team split into the individual units and worked on their own drills. My focus was the Defensive Backs and the Linebackers vs Running Backs/Tight Ends. The Defensive Backs started out practicing route running and working on footwork drills. Next, the players practiced catching balls from the jugs machine. For the most part, the players caught everything thrown their way. But, Ashton Youboty dropped one and also misjudged one. Ellis Lankster dropped one that was right off his fingertips. Drayton Florence also had one that he misjudged and couldn't catch the ball. On the positive side, Terrence McGee timed his jumps perfectly and caught everything. Reggie Corner had a couple nice leaping catches. Leodis McKelvin also hauled in a few high ones. After the players were done with this drill, they worked on one-on-ones against eachother...........

          Tell Trent to cut his hair.
          I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
          "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
          You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
          It was all
          true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
          He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
          mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

            Trust me, I've been saying that all camp. It looks too California Surfer boy and reminds me of both Rob Johnson and JP Losman. If only he had a haircut like his rookie season, then it looked exactly like Fitzpatrick's.

                  Your training camp reports are by far the best, from any source. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date, Mike.
                  Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                    Mike is far too positive in his reviews. We all know we're void of talent and every player sucks. Quit selling false hope.
