    BillsZone Training Camp Report: 7/30/2011


    Buffalo Bills Training Camp Gallery - Saturday, July 30, 2011

    Finally! The lockout is over with and so is the fast paced offseason. Now it's time for Buffalo Bills training camp. The Bills had their first practice on the new grass field at St. John Fisher Saturday afternoon. It's a lot different from prior years at camp. There are lots of seats now, fans can sit in the bleachers on the new Track and Field stadium. But they can't hide under the trees anymore to keep cool. The fans are also sitting in end zone seats and don't get the nice sideline action that they were used to. The players also don't have a whole 100-yard field to practice on anymore. They now have the field split in half with two 50-yard vertical fields. It's definitely a major change from what the team and fans are used to. As for the practice, it was a steamy day outside and the players didn't do much contact due to the new CBA rules. But it was still a pretty good first day, especially when you consider the team had no mini-camps or offseason workouts.

      Sorry, it's so late. All these late afternoon and night practices really suck for my schedule. I'm on only 2 1/2 hours of sleep last night before work. I'm going to take a little nap now so I can be up for the night practice tonight before work again.

        Excellent job sir! One question, can anyone tell me what's with the broom in the arms in a lot of those pics?

                Mike, you're better than any of the professional writers who cover the Bills. Thanks so much for the great reports.
                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?

                      Thanks a lot Mikey.
                      I don't know if it's anything you noticed, or were in a position to see/hear, but a guy on the bb.com mb, was saying that there was a very audible 'pop' when Dareus was doing some drills hitting bags.
                      Nice to hear that impressions on Jasper are favourable.

                            Those reports from Mike are pure GOLD !

                            As I say every year, thank you and keep them coming.
