They practiced their usual stuff in the beginning and then worked on some 7-on-7, 11-on-11 drills and also worked on some special teams stuff too. There was also a referee watching the plays and letting Mularkey know when someone jumped early. </p>

Did Mike williams practice today?

[Michael82]

Did Mike williams practice today?
yeah, but not full practice. I got a few photos with McFarland at RT. Mike Williams worked on the individual drills though and some team drills.

[ryven]

Great work.

Thanks Mikey.

Well done Mikey.....I hope Gandy turns it around....or its going to be a long season.

[FlyingDutchman]

I just got back fromt the afternoon practice....Losman looked decent throwning some good balls and some bad, he has a tendency to underthrow at times. One thing is for sure, if he gets a seem in the line, he'll tuck in down and run with it. He is a threat to pick up big gains on this, he had a couple of runs of over 10 yards (he is very fast)...Holcomb looked very good...so did the recievers (yes even Josh)...Losman nearly got Parrish killed by Vincent when he threw him a ball over the middle and Vincent de-cleated him, Roscoe still held onto the ball and got right up...Gandy looked a little better giving Shobel a tough time...I watched Lindell kick for a little, he actually looked good. There was nobody rushing but he still hit about 6 or 7 in a row from 40 yards with room to spare...It's hard to watch everything going on at once, but thats my quick assesment, Im sure Mikey will sum it better for you guys...

I cannot read the damn thing because there is a blue box running through 3/4 or the report "the zone exclusive content" that is one the zone main page? Anyone else having this problem?

[TigerJ]

I'm not going to worry too much about Gandy yet. While he has played left tackle (for Chicago) his most recent work was a guard. It's been a while since he played tackle and I think the techniques are different enough that it will take him a while to get reaclimated to the outside spot, just like it would take Trey Teague a while to look good at tackle if Buffalo had to go in that direction. Give him a couple weeks and a preseason game before you write him off.

Nice job

6. Nate Clements looked even better than last year. I think that he's bulked up a bit and is more aggressive. He was covering the receivers like a blanket and had a couple big plays today. why do I have a feeling this will be his last year here?

[FlyingDutchman]

Nice job

Check out BillsDaily, they reported that Clements Agent is coming to camp soon to possibly talk extension...:jig: :dance: :jam: :clap: :air: :rockout: :rockon: :punk:

Clements said he'd like to play his whole career in Buffalo since it is close to his hometown of Cleveland and they are building something special. Donahoe said he wants to keep Nate in Buffalo as he is a member of his original draft class and he feels his best days are ahead of him.

:respect:

Sounds very, very good

Thanks a ton, Mikey. I'm stuck here in Colts' country and that's all I hear about. Before Manning arrived, local support for the Colts was lukewarm. But now the same thing happens every year and I get to listen to Colts Super Bowl talk every year.

Thank God for a fan site like Bills Zone and for Mikey's camp reports and photos ! It is great to be able to have my own little island of Bills-dom in a sea of Colts fans.

[Jan Reimers]

Thanks again, Mikey. Your reports are great. I was going to ask if we were throwing screen passes to Willis and the backup RBs and, from your report, apparently we are.

Does Willis look comfortable catching the ball?

[mybills]

Another great job, Mikey! :up:

Thank-you Mikey. :D

I beat you all. I'm stuck in Eagles/Giants/Jets/Steelers country.

Damn tri-state area. :mad:

[Earthquake Enyart]

Mike, any shocking incidents that we need to be discussing today?

:rofl:

No. Just a shocking revelation that Gandy sucks. :ontome:

Mikey, I'm not trying to be a jerk (although that is sometimes difficult for me), but is Gandy really way worse than the other O line starters at this point, or are we just paying so much attention to him and picking up on his every little mistake that we're trying to justify the negative image that many people have had since we signed him?

[mysticsoto]

Is anyone going this afternoon. I am going to be taking off from work early to go. Maybe we could meet somewhere...
