Folks welcome back to Bills Breakdown where we breakdown all the action you may have missed. Picking it up here at Day 2 of Bills Camp.
- The Best Ability is Still Availability
I will sound like a broken record but as long as Buffalo Bills payers stay healthy, I will harp on this as the most important thing that can happen at Bills CAMP. For the second day, all 91 players are available for today’s practice.
For the second straight day to begin training camp, the #Bills are 100% healthy. All 91 players on the practice field, including Chase Claypool, who went down during Day 1 #BillsMafia

2. At the present moment, Ke0n can do no wrong
We heard from Coach Joe before practice this morning, and not surprisingly the first question he was asked was about Keon Coleman. Coach Joe noted he had a good first practice, but what separates players is their ability to build on that. Seems like Ke0n was off to a good start here in Day 2, with this footage from Matt Parrino.

3. Playing it Safe at Safety
Some were surprised to see Damar Hamlin with the starters yesterday, but it seems the team is still figuring out exactly what it’s doing in that regard. Mike Edwards got the nod today, and Josh to Mack welcomed him to the practice field nicely.
Mike Edwards is starting at safety today. Was Damar Hamlin yesterday. Josh Allen just threw a strike to Mack Hollins between Edwards and Taylor Rapp.

First read this from @ThomasDeLaus of C1… would be a great note for her personal health if Kim was able to attend practice today. We continue to wish her and her family well in her recovery.
6. Defense Strikes Back
It seemed for the first hour the offense was getting the better of it in practice (which as Bills fans is preferred IMO) but it seems the Defense struck back in the 2h, with Ed Oliver leading the way.
Ed Oliver has made his presence known in this practice.

Cam Lewis had an injury during practice– but after a short absence returned to the practice field.
8) Is Curtis Samuel the obvious ‘spork’ candidate?
Sean McDermott compares this year’s wide receiver corps to opening up a drawer of silverware.@JoeBuscaglia asks “who’s the spork?”

McDermott not ready to reveal the Bills’ 2024 secret spork to opponents
Yesterday, McDermott discussed the idea of a spork on offense, someone who could perform many roles in different spots. If today’s practice was any indication, it would seem Curtis Samuel is that dude.
Curtis Samuel had his breakout day today at camp. The last catch was sensational as he broke open on the right side with Cam Lewis in coverage. He’s so explosive and he’s moving all over the place. Starting to see the vision for what he’ll be in this offense. Major 🔑

Josh Allen to Curtis Samuel, Allen put it on the money, hit Samuel in stride — touchdown. Samuel beat a defender up the seam. Big day for Samuel, all over the field with first and second team #Bills #BillsMafia

Josh Allen just threw an absolute seed to Curtis Samuel. Stupid impressive throw.

Yesterday Coleman and Kincaid were the notable guys on offense, but today it’s been Samuel, who has made some really nice plays.
