On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Buffalo Bills training camp in Pittsford has ended and Patrick Moran has several takeaways from on and off the field in addition to putting together a 53-man roster projection ahead of their first preseason game against the New York Giants.

The final practice at St. John Fisher quite frankly was the boring one with the exception of one play and perhaps a few developments that Patrick elaborates on. The biggest story came off the practice field, where James Cook didn't practice for a fifth straight day despite head coach Sean McDermott saying during his presser he expected Cook just a half hour before practice started. If you didn't think this was a story before, it certainly appears to be now.

Also, Patrick highlights a few things he's really liked from training camp as a whole as well as a few things he's found most worrisome. Who and what have impressed him the most and least?

Also, Patrick's taking a stab at a 53-man roster projection now that training camp is over, with a very difficult time landing on who the 53rd is. That plus some Bills stars hit up the Pittsford Dairy for ice cream while this podcast is being recorded and much more.
