Day nine brought a new face to Buffalo Bills Training Camp. CJ Spiller has finally arrived and the crowd was excited. He came out of the locker room to cheers and the fans were watching his every move. It was nice to see him on the field. The coaches didn’t hesitate to throw him right into the action, using him at RB and punt returner. As for the rest of the team, they started practice a half hour late and finished a few minutes early as Chan Gailey decided to give them a little break. They worked hard all night and spent time on the usual drills, including the 7-on-7, 11-on-11, punt returns and the 2-minute drill.
As always, the team spent a lot of time on the individual drills. I focused on the Quarterback passing drills. They worked with the wide receivers and tight ends for a while and then later with the running backs. Trent Edwards threw the best passes of the 4 quarterbacks. He was connecting with Lee Evans and Steve Johnson every time. He also threw a couple passes to Shawn Nelson and Jonathan Stupar, who continued his solid camp by catching everything thrown his way. Brian Brohm showed nice zip on his ball and connected with Steve Johnson a few times too, although some of his passes were a little low. Ryan Fitzpatrick looked alright, but he did overthrow CJ Spiller in the running back drills. Kawika Mitchell was the best defensive player out there. He made several big hits, including one on Joique Bell as a welcome to the NFL, rookie.
