News and notes from Day 2 of Bills Minicamp
Keon Coleman can be his own harshest critic. When prodded about his assessment of his rookie season, Coleman provided honesty and depth on what he noticed about himself.
"You want to know exactly what I see? When that s— trash, you got to be better." Coleman said.
Coleman sat down this offseason and rewatched his rookie season tape. There were plenty of eye-catching plays during his 556-yard, 4-TD season, but Coleman wasn't satisfied.
"You gotta be better, simple as that," Coleman remembers saying to himself. "You gotta be more efficient here. You gotta get out of this break. You got to stack your DB. You got to give Josh more room to throw the ball. You gotta catch that. You gotta make that block. You got to get that extra effort on the touchdown block so if Jimbo breaks it, he goes up the sideline. Just different things like that. Calling out everything that you're doing wrong to make it right."
Both GM Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott made note during the offseason about the improvements they wanted to see in Coleman's game from year one to year two. Early indications are that Coleman took their recommendations seriously.
The 6-foot-4 wideout shared that he bulked up to add more muscle mass, and he spent time working on his route running techniques. Even without their guidance, Coleman planned to hone his craft anyways and was already motivated internally to find ways to get better.
"I don't really get frustrated. I don't really need motivation, I get self-motivated. I come here every day to work. This is a job, but to me it's more it's a hobby and a profession. So it's something I love to do, and I don't need anybody to hit me on the back to make me go even harder. I'm coming with it from the jump," he said.
Though he's still the youngest member of the Bills primary receiving core, Coleman doesn't view that as an excuse for poor performance.
"Truth of the matter is, technically, I am young coming into my second year but we're all on the same plane at this point. No excuses get made for me for being young," he shared.
During OTAs in May, McDermott made note that Coleman came back to the team facility stronger and in better shape than his rookie season.
"When he came back, he was in really good shape. You could tell he had been working drill wise, weight room wise, so real proud of what he's done to this point in the offseason," he said.
Bosa expected to be ready for training camp
Veteran DE Joey Bosa is not participating in minicamp this week due to a calf injury suffered during OTAs at the end of May. However, the five-time Pro Bowler has been in uniform the last two days working off to the side with the training staff.
"Unfortunately I've missed a few reps during this offseason. But I've been doing my best to get mental reps," Bosa said.
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters earlier in the week that he expects Bosa to be ready for camp. In the meantime, Bosa said he will use the remaining time between now and training camp to continue to get healthy and dive into the team's playbook.
Bosa will be back in a familiar 4-3 scheme, which is what he played in during his time at Ohio State and early in his career with the Chargers.
"It's exciting for me, no more outside linebacker. I'm ready to get my hand back in the dirt, get back to the six technique and rush the passer," Bosa said.
Practice observations
CB Tre'Davious White had the standout play of the day with a pick-six. White was in coverage against WR Khalil Shakir and intercepted the ball after it was thrown behind Shakir and promptly ran it back down the sideline.
During 11 on 11 reps Wednesday, Buffalo's defense ramped up the pressure, sending five or more rushers on multiple occasions. The defense got to Allen on one play for a would-be sack as no one picked up a blitzing Taron Johnson. Shortly after, Allen escaped the pocket after another blitz and this time found WR Josh Palmer downfield who made a sliding catch while running to the left sideline.
LB Terrel Bernard shared that new senior defensive assistant Ryan Nielsen has been instrumental in increasing the team's awareness on their blitzing technique.
"The level of detail is incredible," the linebacker said. "(Nielsen) was up in front of the team today and gave a detailed account of how we want to get things done, how we want to run certain games, how we want to pressure, how we want to blitz. And, you can tell he's just very detail oriented in how he wants to present the job and how the job must be done."
Other members of Bills secondary had their hands around the football as well. CB Dane Jackson and CB Christian Benford both had pass breakups during team drills. The focus for the defense this week has been to stay connected as a unit throughout the entirety of each play.
"I think just the connectedness of what we are, who we are, what we want to be when we come back," Bernard said. "The standard for how we operate, that's the main thing, I think, that we get out of this is really dialing in on the details of what we do, how we do it, how we get it done."
