Episode 71 - That New Football Season Smell
Episode 11, Jul 29, 2019, 12:30 PM
Training Camp has begun across the National Football League. The Buffalo Bills reported to St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY, as they have since 2000, for their preparations for the 2019-20 Campaign.
As expected, there has been plenty of good and bad, after 4 days, but optimism has probably never been higher. Josh Allen has continued to improve his passing ability, making better reads, and smarter passes, instead of forcing it down field. He's also made incredible connections with newcomers John Brown and Cole Beasley.
The Offensive Line, which was a focal point heading into this year, due to its inadequacy last year, has some work to do to come together yet. There have been a few rotations since Day 1, but the O-Line is getting different looks and valuable repetitions.
The Tight End position has been plagued by the injury bug since the beginning of camp. Another position that was in much need of upgrade, Jason Croom and Dawson Knox have both succumbed to Hamstring injuries, leaving the workloads open and a clear cut number one still in question.
The Defense has been efficient as well, starting off the week defending the Red Zone specifically, which Buffalo was ranked 30th in last season. They have pushed the offense, in the trenches, in the air, and emotionally. As long as the Defense continues to do this, both sides of the ball will improve.
