wednesday's camp report... good stuff..

[Tatonka]

"DEFENSIVE PLAYMAKERS ARE EVERYWHERE: Pick your poison. Clements and Winfield continue to show shutdown coverage skills today in practice. Their confidence is contagious. I am very comfortable with Kevin Thomas as either THE corner or the nickel back. It would be nice to have Winfield back next year, but with Thomas exhibiting such superior cover and ball hawking skills, I don't think the Bills will have much of a drop-off there. Sidney showed signs of improvement in 11 on 11 drills. He is a solid, steady performer yet 4th round draft pick Terrence McGee and his special teams' contribution might end beating him out for the final CB spot on the roster. Takeo Spikes is intimidating and he showed more today than I have seen in the past with the blitz packages. The Bills seem to be doing a lot more shifts, stunts and schemes that are designed to create confusion. Jeff Posey is the biggest contributor. His size and speed combination make him and force off the edge or a presence in coverage. Marcus Jones was back with the first team unit today at DE. '

Tatonka, has your O fallen off that much? I notice in the report, that a good D is interrupting the O's flow, there's a lot of good D's out there. Has the changes to your O affected them that much. This may be a bad sign for your O.

[Tatonka]

i dont think so.. i think it is a GREAT sign for the D..

that defense is coming together... quicker than anyone thought..

i will wait to judge the O on what i see them do in the preseason games, as i will the D..

but imho, it just speaks volumes for where the D is at.

[Tatonka]

you can look at it either way for every team practicing against each other..

if your o scores.. does that mean your d is bad..

if your d stops the o.. does that mean o is bad?

it is all just practices.

[MDFINFAN]

I hear ya, but I've noticed that in several reports. So I was starting to wonder, don't get me wrong, I would love for your O to take a step backwards.LOL. But in the Browns scrimage, I didn't read too much about what the O did, more so that your D stopped the browns better. So I was wondering if the price, center, remerisa leavings may have some affect afterall. I know, I know, everyone's going say what they didn't do. But it's the little things that don't show up in stats that I was referring to.

[Tatonka]

our starting o did well against the browns.. henry ate them up.

Yea, that's why we had to retire him...he was just too good to you. :badboy:

[bernielivsey_1]

Just like our O was better than our our D last yr. I think out D will be better than our O this yr. And I have no problem with that. Worked for the Bucs and Ravens. What is it that wins Super Bowls again????????????? Something 'fence?

[Jan Reimers]

I don't quite understand the Sidney/McGee thing. We generally carry 5 CBs, don't we? That would make it a moot point.

In the Browns scrimmage, the starting offence played one series and drove smartly down the field, only to have DB throw an int. when he read an inside move and Moulds made an outside move. That's the official explanation at least. Them's the breaks. I think Tatonka has a point. We need a preseason game to get a better handle on what's going on.
