Top 3 things we learned from Bills-Browns

‘“Overall, I would say he’s been pretty steady,” said head coach Sean McDermott. “That’s a great quality. Mentally he’s pretty steady. I think the guys appreciate that for a rookie to have that quality is important. The mental toughness element if you will that’s so important to manage the highs and lows of the NFL.”’

Joe B: 5 things to watch for in Buffalo Bills vs. Cleveland Browns (8/17/18)

‘Over the final three practices of training camp, Josh Allen took a step forward in the sense that the Bills are giving him the responsibilities to work with the second-team offense. While it isn’t confirmed, the expectation is that Allen will be with the second unit and in normal circumstances that is the group that usually gets the most time on the field for the second preseason game.’

5 things to watch in Bills-Browns: McCarron’s turn with the starters?

‘Tyrod Taylor against his former team. Even if it’s just a preseason game, Taylor has to be extra motivated to go up against the team that traded him away. He’ll give the Bills’ starting defense a good test against a mobile quarterback who generally takes good care of the football. The members of Buffalo’s secondary have lofty goals this season, including 20 interceptions among them. Getting one off of Taylor would perhaps be a good sign of things to come.’

‘”I’m so excited to head up to Buffalo and meet y’all, with our board. Look for us on game day,” Jordan Dalton said. “We’re so thankful for everything that y’all have done for us, for our community and the families in our community through our foundation that we wanted to give back to y’all.”‘

Corey Coleman gets a second chance with Bills after things fell apart with the Browns

‘“Whenever you have a new player coming in, sometimes it can feel like, ‘Oh, boy,’” Daboll said. “You’re spending as much time as you can with your position coach, with your quarterbacks, and staying after. There’s a ton of stuff to learn. What you try to do for the player is start out by giving him the things that he really has to know for the practices and then at night, you’re going back and reviewing how we call a motion or how we call a shift that maybe they haven’t had in practice. It’s challenging for a player. He’s done a really good job of staying late, working extra. You can’t just give him the whole ball of wax, so it’s a continual process.”’

Bills-Browns: Five things to watch in Friday’s preseason game

‘As preseason games go, this one certainly carries some intrigue, and not only the Taylor and Coleman connections, but also that Mayfield and Buffalo’s Josh Allen, the No. 7 overall pick, will be competing on the same field as they try to win starting jobs.’

Media poll: Which Buffalo Bills players impressed, surprised at training camp

‘”Harrison Phillips wasn’t really on my radar coming into the season with the acquisition of Star Lotulelei. I figured he’d be groomed underneath Kyle Williams, who many thought he’d eventually replace. But all Phillips has done since coming into camp is show off his power and strength in individual drills and in team drills. He has an infectious personality and seems to be liked by his teammates. He already is looking like a home run of a third round pick by general manager Brandon Beane.”‘
