In the #Bills 'everybody eats' offense, no one is going hungry. Especially not Khalil Shakir. On how much fun this team is having right now: "A lot of fun. The vibe is great. You've got people who want to play for each other." Full piece airs Sunday at 6:30 @WGRZ #BillsMafia
Babich: we have an approach with Joey Bosa to make sure we keep him healthy. Have to balance him wanting be go go go to stay at top of his craft and keeping healthy for January as well. Adds that team views Bosa as a 3-down guy #BillsMafia
James Cook is here, but Brandon Beane keeping it real about where the contract situation goes from here. The impact of a healthy Joey Bosa to start camp. Oh, and the Hard Knocks army has taken over St. John Fisher. @viccarucci @_jacosta and I dive in. youtu.be/6K9DcMJjaQA?si…
Bobby Babich on 1st round pick Max Hairston early in #BillsCamp: We’re not going to ride the roller coaster. Day 1 good. Day 2 we’ve got work to do. Adds that’s why it’s good there’s practice today.
Babich on TJ Sanders: you hope evaluation in draft process is correct, and so far that talent is there. He fits the Bills culture. #BillsMafia @WGRZ
Babich on Joe Andreessen: “We’re putting a lot on his plate, even more than last year.” #BillsMafia @WGRZ
Babich on Tre White: Dion Dawkins said it best yesterday when talking about comfort and White seeming at home. Best moment is when White told him yesterday “feels good to have some legs.” “Tre’s on a mission.” #BillsMafia @WGRZ
Bobby Babich talking about Cole Bishop: this generation with social media and everything , there’s a lot of anxiety. Anxiety for performance, which is a good thing. Once Bishop dropped that, that’s where he’s grown the most. #BillsMafia

Some notes from my scribbles out at Day 2 of #BillsCamp. Keon Coleman + Curtis Samuel = 👍👍 Mitch Trubisky vs. Mike White is on! Dorian Williams and A.J. Epenesa injuries Oh yes, and that guy James Cook walking the walk before talking the talk. wgrz.com/article/sports…
Despite his contract status, James Cook is present and full go at #Bills camp, something that isn't suprising to the rest of his team. "Come out here and just show them and earn what I gotta go get." "There was never a doubt the way he would approach it." #BillsMafia @WGRZ
Bills’ James Cook stands firm on getting ‘what I need’ in new contract. My Take2 column & convo with @JonScottTV & @_jacosta at wgrz.com. wgrz.com/article/sports…

“Family affair today” - Dion Dawkins at the podium after practice #BillsMafia @WGRZ

Not the only guy who had a good day, but one player who I noticed consistently today was #Bills WR Curtis Samuel. Samuel involved and making catches both in 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 portions, especially in intermediate game. Interested to see how many more days like this we see out…
#Bills RB James Cook on being at camp despite contract situation:“It’s my job, so I have to participate so I don’t get fined… just go out here and show them I’m ready to go and earn what I want to get.” Adds he owes it to his teammates to be out here also and compete with them.

Dion Dawkins gets the crowd in Pittsford ready for Day 2 of #BillsCamp #BillsMafia @WGRZ
“Clearly I’m higher on how Keon played last season based on the questions I’ve been getting.” #Bills OC Joe Brady on Keon Coleman’s rookie year
Joe Brady: “Every year, regardless of if you have success or not, you have to evolve your game.” Brady says big part of this offseason is studying what they did well, how defenses attacked them, and how they can improve, including new wrinkles/experimenting in camp. #Bills @WGRZ
Joe Brady talking about benefits having most of offensive pieces back this year but makes sure to add “we haven’t done anything yet.” #BillsMafia @WGRZ

Day 1 of #BillsCamp headlined by James Cook and Hard Knocks, but there’s lots of more to discuss. @viccarucci @_jacosta and I get into those PLUS: - Early injuries to key guys - CB2 off and running - Bosa’s health … and more! Give a look/listen! youtu.be/6K9DcMJjaQA?si…
One of the best moments from Day 1 of #BillsCamp today: Dion Dawkins' kids getting to hug and say hi to 'Uncle Tre' White today after practice. #BillsMafia @WGRZ
