The Buffalo Bills’ 2020 training camp practices are officially underway from Orchard Park. It took us a bit longer to get here thanks to the altered offseason due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but nonetheless, we’ve gotten back to padded practices for the Bills.
With that, here are three takeaways from Monday’s practice:
Players seemingly comfortable
First and foremost, the Bills’ PR staff has appeared to clamp down on what we know about training camp this year. Typically reports of the depth chart, details on drills, and more are uncovered in camp. Monday showed the team will not allow that since fans aren’t there watching. But while we don’t really have that in-depth spotlight on work being done by the Bills this offseason, we can be confident that the players feel comfortable.
Following practice, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds spoke via video conference. He reflected on the practice that was and only had positive things to say about getting out on the field in pads for the first time since the Bills’ playoff loss to the Texans.
“Man, it felt good, it felt good,” Edmunds said. “I think guys were anxious to get out there, feel the energy out there. I think the coaches did a real good job of making everything competitive. I think guys were competing out there and just getting after it, we was getting better. I think it was a productive day.”
Can’t leave you without at least a little glimpse of the defense today. #Bills pic.twitter.com/J4YS5tHWZL
