Yesterday was our ‘once every camp’ weird day. Injuries, fights, players getting crabby, offense getting schooled. It will be interesting to see what today brings.
Let’s get it, BillsMafia…

Some good throws. Some bad throws
🤷♂️
11 on 11 redzone work. Allen misses a receiver in endzone over middle then throws an underneath TD to Beasley. Next has pass to McCoy broken up by Milano in right corner of end zone. Misses foster and another before McCloud TD. #BillsCamp @WBGT_TV @TheHuddle_RSN @ROCSportsNet

11v11 redzone. Allen finds Beasley wide open underneath for a TD. Then misses Zay Jones in back left corner of endzone. Close but pushed the ball too far out of bounds. Zay couldn't get both feet down to end this drill. #BillsCamp @WBGT_TV @TheHuddle_RSN @ROCSportsNet

But what I think I love best about it is that Ed was very receptive to what Kyle was saying and even showing him what happened and asking questions.
— Sal Capaccio 🏈 (@SalSports) August 1, 2019
Overall impressions:
— Icey Vick (@iceyvick_RSN) August 1, 2019
Allen missed on a bunch but wasn't overly inaccurate. He was oft a victim of good defense.
Beasley will be a PPR beast if they play this way and Allen continues to find him when live bullets start flying. #BillsCamp @WBGT_TV @TheHuddle_RSN @ROCSportsNet

11v11 Redzone Barkely flushed out right. Would be sack thrown away. Yeldon stopped for no gain. Allen flushed out to right. Throws ball away towards Sills. Barkley throws TD back corner of end zone tight coverage and has TD dropped by Bolden. Perry stuffed on run. #BillsCamp

You'll see defenders swiping at the ball… https://t.co/09aMy6VsdB
11v11 Allen misses Brown badly along right sideline then hits Roberts for a 10 yard gain on left sideline. Next hits Beasley underneath middle who squirts for about 12. Brown proceeds to drop a 23 yard strike from Allen. Camp is the time to get those out of your system #BillsCamp

Brown, Beasley, Zay, A. Roberts, Foster, McCloud are the only ones getting first team reps and all are out there on a regular rotation. Everyone else is behind them
Feliciano gets up limping pretty significantly after a drill.
— Thad (@thadbrown7) August 1, 2019
Because the OL needs more injuries
11v11 Allen pass batted down at line by Phillips and then has to throw ball away to track to avoid a would be sack. Short run to Singletary. Hits Ray Ray for 12. Phillips/Johnson combine to sack Allen. Zay has ball knocked out of his hands. Should have held on to it.#BillsCamp
— Icey Vick (@iceyvick_RSN) August 1, 2019
Just happened again, minus the INT
— Marcel Louis-Jacques (@Marcel_LJ) August 1, 2019
Upon further review, Bills have Jordan Phillips (6-6) and Daryl Johnson on their d-line, so it’s difficult to tell if this is Allen messing up or the defense showcasing a marquee trait https://t.co/yrXE7yaLhO
To follow up on that, Ray-Ray McCloud has definitely seen an uptick in reps, including plenty with the first team. He is really ascending this week.
— Sal Capaccio 🏈 (@SalSports) August 1, 2019
Shaq Lawson just limped off the field. Was forced to a knee by Dion Dawkins, looked like something might’ve twisted.
