Just a man and his mustache.

2. Zach Davidson Continues to Make an Impact
It’s not just the Shout Podcast who is raving about this guy he is making plays now all over the field for people to see:
TE Zach Davidson continues to get looks with the top offense…. and continues to impress.

Perhaps the largest note here:
Zach Davidson on the field over Quintin Morris during 7 on 7 work. Morris came in later #Bills #BillsMafia

3. The Injury list gets longer, but doesn’t seem brutal yet
Bills not practicing Wednesday:
— Joe Buscaglia (@JoeBuscaglia) August 7, 2024
RB Ty Johnson (hamstring)
WR Chase Claypool (toe)
WR Justin Shorter (knee)
OL Travis Clayton (shoulder)
DT DaQuan Jones (undisclosed)
LB Nicholas Morrow (core/groin)
LB Edefuan Ulofoshio (ribs)
S Mike Edwards (hamstring)
S Cole Bishop (shoulder)
The only one that really stands out here (Bishop still being week-to-week) is DaQuan, with that said wrap him in styrofoam as far as I’m concerned and get him to September 8th!
4. The Bills have their first Depth Chart

You don’t need me to tell you, don’t read TOO much into the depth chart before the first preseason game, a lot can change. But interesting to see that Hollins, Samuel, Shakir are the first 3 up at WR.
5. Momentum for the offense?
Mack Hollins did a great job at the back of the end zone to shake free. Allen found him. Laser for a TD. Some plays made by the defense, but It’s been a really nice day for the offense.

Vintage Josh Allen. Fading to his throwing side, on the run, Allen delivered a strike to Keon Coleman as he was streaking across the formation. That connection continues to flourish #Bills #BillsMafia
— alex brasky (@alexbrasky) August 7, 2024
All Khalil Shakir does is get open. Shakir open in soft spot of defense near right sideline, Josh Allen lofts a pretty ball to him 20 yards for the completion. Wash, rinse, repeat #Bills #BillsMafia
— alex brasky (@alexbrasky) August 7, 2024
Von Miller with a really nice rush to flush Josh Allen out of the pocket to his right. Allen just kept it alive as long as possible and finally hit Keon Coleman for about a 15 yard gain.
— Sal Capaccio 🏈 (@SalSports) August 7, 2024
Allen then to Dalton Kincaid for an easy-button check down and gain. Good run after catch.
Josh Allen to Mack Hollins for a touchdown on an absolute strike.
— Ajay Cybulski (@AjayCybulski) August 7, 2024
Allen looked through his first read, wasn’t there, and found his way back to Hollins for the score.
Handshake ensues. Offense clicking here on Day 10.#BillsMafia
6. Defense slips/strikes back?
Curtis Samuel slipped. Rasul Douglas stepped in front of him for an easy pick of Josh Allen. Douglas is so good at breaking on a ball he can get his hands on.

Matt Milano showing off some promise, bringing down James Cook in the open field.#BillsMafia
— Ajay Cybulski (@AjayCybulski) August 7, 2024
Javon Solomon has forced two quick throws due to his pressure created off the edge. Mitch Trubisky found Quintin Morris on one play, Shane Buechele with a dirt ball on the next rush. The rookie continues to impress #Bills #BillsMafia
— alex brasky (@alexbrasky) August 7, 2024
Damar Hamlin is really impressing today.
— Ajay Cybulski (@AjayCybulski) August 7, 2024
Dalton Kincaid has been open all morning, but Hamlin with a great pass break up on Kincaid to start the next portion of 11 on 11.#BillsMafia
7. Depth chart boost for KJ Hamler?
KJ Hamler being listed as the PR/KOR man was a small surprise to some, but the bigger surprise was the confidence he took from that into today’s practice:
KJ Hamler with 4 catches already today.
— Dan Fetes (@danfetes) August 7, 2024
He’s been all over the field making plays.
His best day of #Bills camp so far.#BillsMafia @BuffaloPlus
