Physicality highlights Day 5 of camp: ‘If your team’s not fighting, then there’s a problem’
Joe Brady had the Bills don their pads for the individual drills on Monday, but Tuesday represented a training camp milestone, with the Bills conducting their first full-pads practice session of the summer, with some predictable results.
Among the skirmishes reported by Bills beat writers: offensive lineman Alec Anderson got into it with defensive lineman Ed Oliver on several occasions during one-on-one drills; TJ Parker engaged in a shoving match with an offensive player during the 11-on-11 work; and rookie offensive lineman Jude Bowry needed to be held back after a physical play.
But the most notable incident featured linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr. After tight end Dalton Kincaid made a catch in the flat, he went down to the ground, then, as he was getting back up, he was leveled by Elarms-Orr, leading to a full-team skirmish.
Aftr some pushing and shoving, order was restored to practice. More than a few of the Bills said Elarms-Orr’s hit set the tone for the rest of the session.
“A lot of the young guys were kind of getting after it. It’s a good thing. You need that. If your team’s not fighting, then there’s a problem, especially your first day of full pads,” veteran wide receiver Khalil Shakir told WGRZ.
Among the other observations from Day 5: wide receiver D.J. Moore turned heads with a highlight touchdown grab; Elarms-Orr continued to make plays from the linebacker position; wideouts Keon Coleman and Mecole Hardman Jr. came down with a few impressive catches; and Buffalo’s pass rushers enjoyed a solid showing.
