My daily thoughts

Good morning my YB peeps and Buffalo fans everywhere!!!! Today we report to camp, in ol St. John's Fisher college in Rochester,Ny to start our journey.The living arrangements are pretty good at fisher college. And coach Jauron is so much of a players coach that he allows every player rookie or vet their own private space. (meaning he allows us our own dorm rooms with our own bathroom and all) Thats a big deal if you've seen a lot of these other camp living arrangements. We are not just a journey to the playoffs or to a championship but on the journey of brotherhood. Now this definition of brotherhood is different in my opinion from the Webster's definition. We as Bill-ievers define it as when times get hard out there on the field can I look into your eyes and see that on the next snap your gonna give me your all? or do I see a weak and selfish individual? Let me say Bill-ievers you guys wont see any of that this year. Saddle up and get ready to take this ride!!!!!

Realizing that we all have different backgrounds and different beliefs is the best part about camp. Not only do I get to prove to my coaches and teammates that I belong in this league and deserve the oppurtunity to lead this football team, but I get to prove to myself that I do have the tools and the talents to become the best safety in the League. And we get to develope and bond and chemistry that were gonna need deep into November and December. Coach always says, "YOU WIN WITH HARD WORK AND A LIL LUCK"

OK time to pack up the trunk and head up the road. I'll leave a couple articles that i feel are relevant today and I'll holla later and let YB and the Bill-ievers know how everyone looked during weigh-in and check in. PEACE AND LOVE 20!!!

DW, best of luck on a healthy training camp. You couldn't buy better weather for football thats for sure. Cant wait to read the reports. What are your thought on Hardy's contribution to the offense this year? This guy can be an instant impact player in the red zone and I think a lot of people underestimate his speed on the outside. Should open some doors for Lee. GO BILLS!

Do it big this year, Donte. Bills fans have been hungry for the top. It's been too long.

DONTE! I am so thankful that the Bills drafted you--not only because you are a terrific ball player, but because your dedication to the team and the community truly amazes me. Thank you for taking Hardy and McKelvin under your wing, and for all of the charitable work you do in Buffalo and Cleveland. You have emerged as a remarkable player, leader, and teammate, and we Bill-ievers couldn't be happier.
I think this is your year Donte--Pro Bowl baby! Can't wait to hear your updates on training camp. GO BILLS!

I hope your wearing one of those C patches this year. You deserve it for all the stuff you have been doing with the rookies and in the community. GO BILLS!!!!!!

Hey Donte!
My company just installed the flooring in your theater in the basement. Hope it turned out great!

D. Whitner,
Thanks for representing, good luck this season. We can't wait to see you in Hawaii. Oh, and you'll always be #9 to me bro...

Looking forward to a championship year in Buffalo. The pieces are in place for a strong playoff run. Glad camp is here to fine tune and gain familiarity with the new players.

GO BILLS!

Hey DW - stay healthy and do your thing out there this year bro! I love your vibe and I think this year will be a big one for you and the team out there...However else it goes I know you guys will go hard every snap and we'll just see where we stand at the end of the year, I think talent-wise we have a squad that can make magic out there but the real thing that has to happen is for ALL the players to truly believe it can happen!
Unfortunately that kind of visualization mental toughness and team confidence usually comes a little more gradually and I dont know if we went far enough last year to really build it to where it needs to be for this year but hopefully I'm wrong there!!
Go Bills!
