On this episode of Talking Buffalo, the pads went on for the first time at Buffalo Bills training camp and Patrick Moran was there to accumulate several observations from Monday's practice, including defensive end Greg Rousseau having another dominant showing.

There's been several accounts of Rousseau having a really strong start to camp and after seeing his first camp of the season in person, Patrick is completely on board. He discusses what he saw from Rousseau during practice, including dismantling right tackle Spencer Brown multiple times during both individual and team drills. Rousseau's going into his fourth season and is being counted on to elevate his game to a level that puts him up there among the league's better edge defenders. He's also got a lot potentially on the line when it comes to commanding a second contract.

Also, after no injuries of significance through the first few days, that streak came to an end with news that likely starting free safety Mike Edwards is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury. Patrick talks about how that probably makes it Damar Hamlin versus rookie Cole Bishop for the starting spot, or possibly opens the door for a Micah Hyde return if both sides are serious about it--or maybe even a big swing on free agent Justin Simmons.

That plus other notable things Patrick's seeing, including pretty solid play from Kaiir Elam and Kingsley Jonathan, another potential hamstring injury (this time to Ty Johnson), a Cinderella story in the making at wide receiver with Tyrell Shavers and plenty more.
