‘Locked-in’ Tremaine Edmunds hits the ground running in Bills’ camp

‘“ You can’t really take breaks in this sport, and I was in my playbook, just going over things, refreshing my mind, just staying locked in with it,” the linebacker said after Friday’s practice at St. John Fisher College. “I feel like ever since OTAs and minicamp, I’m learning more, and I’m playing a little bit faster out there.” ‘

Bills QB Watch: Nathan Peterman has rough outing on Day 2

‘AJ McCarron took most of the snaps with the starters, while Peterman worked with the second-teamers. McCarron has been the steadiest of the three QBs through the first two days, keeping in mind that early training camp evaluations in padless practices are not a huge deal.’

Things We Learned: Notes from Day 2 of Bills training camp

‘Groy has the ability to back up at guard, but it would be hard for him to beat out current first-teamers Vlad Ducasse and John Miller while getting only occasional snaps at guard (and he hasn’t had any). Expect Bodine and Groy to rotate with the starters day to day, at least for the early part of camp.’

What He Said: Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll on QB plans, receivers and more

‘Yeah, it’s only the second day, so really we’re still in an extension of this OTA process that we talked about in spring. They’re going to have plenty of time to compete and work with some different units and different guys. They’re all required to know everything that we’re putting in and work with different guys and see where they’re at. Every day will be an evaluation process, just like it is for everybody, whether it’s the center position, guard position, a receiver, that’s where we’re at. Each day, we’ll evaluate and sit back [to look at] the entire offense.’

Bills change to mobile ticketing policy

‘”As more customers purchase and manage their tickets on their smartphones, we want customers to have instant access to their tickets via their mobile device anytime and anywhere,” Brent Rossi, the executive vice president of marketing and brand strategy, said in a news release. “We understand this will be a big change for our customers and we are committed to providing the resources to make the transition as smooth as possible.”‘

Pancho Billa makes first training camp despite chemo treatment

‘”My spine looks good now,” Castro said. “That’s where it all started. They removed about a 4-inch mass on my C-7 and replaced two bones. I have 10 screws and a mesh holding my vertebrae together. All my scans of my pancreas look good. . . . It’s just I have lesions on my lungs and nodules on my lymph nodes. . . . Pretty much, I’m going to be on something the rest of my life. It’s metastasized, so we have to keep it under control, make sure it doesn’t spread anywhere else.”‘

Rookie Robert Foster survived fatal a shooting and is cherishing life with Buffalo Bills

‘“Everything is based on the coach’s decision, so I’m just going by what everyone wants me to do,” Foster said. “Everything I’m doing right now is getting mental reps, watching the vets and do everything that I can to learn from them. My job is when I have the opportunity, embrace it, and if not, take the mental reps from the vets.”’

Brian Daboll on Josh Allen: ‘I think he’s a hard-working guy’

‘“I think he’s a hard-working guy,” Daboll said. “He’s professional, he learns every day, he does his best not to make the same mistake twice. He’s got a good rapport with the players and that’s what you need to have at quarterback. Where he’s at now to where he’s going to be, I can’t tell you right now, we haven’t been out there practicing with pads or taking a hit, but he’s a professional young man.”’

Buffalo Bills DT Harrison Phillips trying to be like Kyle Williams, in more ways than one

‘”I want to sit with him for hours and go over the playbook if I could, but just as much as that he’s a fantastic role model for what I want to be when I’m older,” Phillips told NYUP.com after Friday’s practice on day two of Bills training camp. “The way he is with his family his friends, his wife and as a husband – I think it’s about more than football with him.”‘

Buffalo Bills superfan Pancho Billa takes in day 1 of training camp

‘Thursday provided another dream come true for Castro as he made his first trip to training camp. He was able to meet and chat with Bills owners Kim and Terry Pegula, GM Brandon Beane, rookie quarterback Josh Allen and the man whose name he called at the draft, defensive tackle Harrison Phillips.’

LeSean McCoy, Bills confident investigation won’t sideline him

‘”We had a long talk (Wednesday), and we’re moving forward, we’re ready to roll, as they would say,” McCoy said. “And everything’s just geared on making this team better. I want to be there for my teammates, my guys, my coaches. That’s the kind of mindset.’
