Terry Pegula might deserve credit for being the actual process mastermind

‘“Well, the most impressive thing that we’ve accomplish is that [Beane] and coach [McDermott] are joined at the hip, and at the head. They think alike. They’re both very throughout people. They can make very instantaneous decisions like a coach has to during a game, but they also think stuff out to the point where you say, ‘Wow, these guys are very throughout.’ You would think a football coach wouldn’t think like that because things are instantaneous throughout a game, but he’s a very deep thinker and goes through, as you guys would call, the process,” Pegula added.’

‘“Well this is the time of the year, this window of time, the offseason. You guys heard me say last year in June when we break and we come back to training camp, where things happen. It’s unfortunate. You would like some form of structure, but that’s the rule that are set forth and we abide by those rules. This is the time of year you just need to find a routine and stay disciplined with your routine as these players prepare to come back to their clubs,” McDermott said.’

‘”If it makes us a lot better or if it’s a player that’s worthy of that, yes,” Beane said about trading up again. “We’ll do anything we can to make our roster better, and I’m not locked in that I would or I wouldn’t. It would have to make sense and have to be a player that we really felt strongly about to do it.”‘

‘“Well there’s a lot of areas,” he said while meeting with reporters here at the annual league meetings. “You know, there’s a lot of talk about our middle linebacker position and that’s a situation that we’re going to continue to evaluate moving forward. (General manager) Brandon Beane and his staff do a phenomenal job of knowing what’s out there and identifying opportunities for us to improve our roster.”’

‘“Although this is overwhelming, we are comforted and strengthen by your love, support, and prayers,” Kelly wrote. “God is good…whether we walk through the valley or celebrate on the mountain top. “’

Pegula pleased with Beane-McDermott combo

‘“The most impressive thing that we accomplished is (Beane) and (McDermott) are joined at the hip and at the head,” said Pegula of his GM and head coach. “They think alike. They’re thorough people. They can make instantaneous decisions, like a coach has to during a game, but they also have to think stuff out to the point where you’re like, ‘Wow these guys are very thorough.’’

Quick Hits: Offensive plans will focus on matchups

‘“I know Brian and his staff are hard at work now on building their alignment and being on the same page and really trying to take advantage of the guys that we know are on our roster at this point,” McDermott said. “When you look at that system, that’s one of the things that it does. It takes advantage of matchups and so that was attractive to me as I evaluated that situation. We’re going to try to use our strengths and put the players in position to be successful.”’

Bills Today: Mock draft goes trade up for Bills

‘Here’s something you won’t see in many of my past mock drafts: a predicted trade. But the Buffalo Bills can’t sit at pick Nos. 12 and 22 and hope a quarterback falls. General manager Brandon Beane has already made one move up (trading Cordy Glenn and pick No. 21 for No. 12) and should know he has to move again.’
