PITTSFORD, N.Y. (WKBW) — We've often heard training camp doesn't actually start until the pads come on.
Well, after four days of jerseys and shorts, the Buffalo Bills put the pads on for the first time on Monday as they approach the halfway point of training camp practices in Rochester.
Buffalo has now completed five practices at St. John Fisher University, with six remaining. Up to this point, it has been pretty even with the offense and defense battling every day, but things ramped up a notch with the pads on.
"Now we're playing the real game," Bills head coach Sean McDermott said. "The techniques and the fundamentals, some of that doesn't change, we've been working on those and it's important those carry forward into today when we're in pads."
