Training Camp Only Six Weeks Away; Corner Signs

Hello Bills fans.  Today the team wrapped up its mandatory mini-camp as Coach Dick Jauron canceled tomorrows practice.  Coach was asked why he canceled the last practice and his response was that he wanted to reward his players for their work so far this offseason.  Jason Peters was not in attendance and Coach Jauron anticipates that he will be at St. Johns Fisher College when the team starts training camp on July 25th.  Lee Evans did not practice today because he was sick.  I cant believe training camp is only six weeks away.  I hope the Peters situation gets resolved by then so when can build on the success our line had last season.  I watched the highlights video on buffalobills.com and it looks like the defense is going to be a powerhouse.  Our secondary has been outstanding during the OTA’s and in the minicamp the past few days.  Our offense had its share of good plays and it looks like Derek Schouman will challenge Robert Royal for the starting tight end position.  Schouman has been taking first team reps with Royal sidelined.  Schouman has shined making some nice catches.  Paul Posluszny also has made a ton of plays and looks to be 100% healthy.  He is going to be a star and I could see him making the Pro Bowl in the near future.  Go Bills.

Fourth round pick defensive back Reggie Corner signed with the team today.  Chris Brown of buffalobills.com interviewed Corner after he signed his contract.  Corner seems like an intelligent player and was running with the first team at times.  Corner will challenge Will James, Ashton Youboty and 7th round pick Kennard Cox for playing time.  This is the first time since the days of Antoine Winfield and Nate Clements that I can say this team is stacked at cornerback.  Its going to be a tough call for the coaches on who to keep on the roster.  The definites are Terrence McGee, first round pick Leodis McKelvin, Jabari Greer and Will James.  There is going to be a serious battle in training camp come July 25th.  I cant wait for September.  Go Bills.   

Offensive Help On The Way?

February 26, 2008 By: Billy5407 Category: AFC East, Buffalo Bills, Lee Evans, NFL, Robert Royal, Trent Edwards No Comments →

billslogo.jpgHello Bills fans. I just have to say that I am really excited for Friday. I feel that the Bills will go after free agents that will help the team in a big way. Rumors are circulating that the team is interested in wide receiver Ernest Wilford. Wilford is a 6?4? wide receiver that would help the team fix their red zone woes. Although Wilford didn’t have a great season, the team desperately needs his height and ability to go up and grab a ball. I feel that he will do great with us and help take some pressure off of Lee Evans. I really think the team will sign someone relatively fast and hope it’s a tall wideout like Wilford. I also hope that the Bills go after tight end Alge Crumpler. I feel that Crumpler would help Trent Edwards become a better quarterback. Every team needs a tight end that is a receiving threat. The Bills have two mediocre tight ends in Robert Royal and Michael Gaines. Both Royal and Gaines are good blockers but do not possess the receiving skills that Crumpler does. Wouldn’t it be great to wake up Saturday morning and have a wide receiver and a tight end. That would allow us to focus on defense in the draft. Go Bills and lets sign some players to help us get back to the playoffs.
