What We Immediately Learned From Bills Training Camp

What We Immediately Learned From Bills Training Camp

Author: Blue Wire July 24, 2025 Duration: 40:20

On this episode of Talking Buffalo the NFL offseason is now over, Buffalo Bills training camp is officially back and Patrick Moran goes over a handful of interesting things we've learned about the Bills after just day one of training camp.

For a football fan and specifically a Bills fan there isn't many things that feel better than training camp being underway at St. John's Fisher in Rochester. While the pads aren't on yet, the Bills had their first of what'll be 12 practices in Rochester away from home and there's plenty to digest already both on and off the field.

Before practice began Sean McDermott met with the media and among the items discussed were four players not ready to begin practicing for camp, including Dawson Knox and Spencer Brown. Patrick has thoughts on Sean describing Brown's back as a flare up and concluding it would be naive to at least not be somewhat concerned about it, considering Brown's back surgery was three years ago.

Also, Tre White and Cole Bishop got the start in the Bills secondary in initial team drills work. Should either be surprising? Probably not. What may be a bit surprising is rookie Jordan Hancock spending practice at slot corner instead of safety, at least it is to Patrick as he describes. That plus a good opener for receiver Josh Palmer, Joey Bosa sounded very comfortable and legit happy to be in Buffalo and plenty more takeaways.

The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live! You can purchase t shirts, hoodies, zip ups, crewnecks and polos in a couple of different styles and colors. Visit our online page for pricing and options and while there, check out Buf on Weck for tons of cool gear!

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time. Also big thanks to Imperial Pizza and their two locations (1035 Abbott Road and 1655 Main Street), home of not only great pizza and tons of other delicious eats but also the best everyday lunch special in town.

Special thanks to local Buffalo band, Orange Zest for allowing us to use their awesome single, “Old Friends” as the new official intro music for Talking Buffalo.
