Then, we recap Drew's takeaways from our game in Carolina, including eating crow on RT (OG?) Cody Ford & RB production that makes him believe we've finally have embraced the idea of playing modern NFL offense! We close the show with a list of what we're looking for come Friday night - this game is traditionally a "dress rehearsal" for your starters, and while there's things we want to see it's also interesting to see how the HC chooses to play it. @RockpileReport - Twitter https://www.facebook.com/ROCSportsNet/ Come hang out with us for the season opener! Sept 8th @ Batavia Downs, Thurman Thomas's Tailgate party is going to be ON FIRE (not literally, unless the Bills lose to the Jets in which case Drew promises nothing...)
