Tasker had a different kind of Sunday at Glen

‘”You don’t want to look in your rear-view mirror,” Tasker said. “They can close ground on you in a hurry. It was fun. They told us we were going to do four pace laps and we got three in and you look back on that fourth pace lap and you could just tell by the body language of the cars that it was the last lap before green and that they were ready. The drivers were all over the place. I was glad to get out from in front of them.”‘

Bills address weak wide receiver depth in trade for Browns’ Corey Coleman

‘Playing in Baylor’s pass-happy offense, Coleman was the 2015 Biletnikoff winner as the nation’s top collegiate wide receiver. That season, he had 20 touchdown receptions, which led all of Division I. He is also Baylor’s career TD leader with 33, and during his three seasons, he caught 173 passes for 3,009 yards.’

After a turbulent offseason, Bills WR Zay Jones is back on the field

‘“That happened a while ago, I respect your question and your concern for that, but I’m trying to move forward in the right direction,” he said. “A lot has gone on with me, but I’m happy to be out here. I think I would be doing myself a big disservice if I went back to there. That moment was very traumatic for me and my family, and to rehash that now at this point in time wouldn’t do me any good.”’

Micah Hyde found a father figure in a local principal/farmer after his own father left

‘“That actually turned into a project,” Hyde said. “We gutted the whole house and he ended up selling it and now he lives at the farm (15 miles away from Fostoria in Tiffin, Ohio). That was one of those moments that I’ll never forget. We pull up to his house and literally there’s smoke still coming from the roof and he’s smiling. It was one of those times where he taught us whatever life throws at you, it is what it is.”’

6 thoughts and a grade for Buffalo Bills trading for WR Corey Coleman

‘The injury history is a concern for Coleman, who already was battling a sore hamstring in camp with the Browns. But with the need at receiver, the Bills went out and added a guy who’s an immediate upgrade over some of the names at the bottom half of the depth chart.’

Changes to kickoff rule should yield safer, more exciting results

‘The new rules are specifically designed to bring players closer together before the ball is kicked, similar to punts, in order to reduce the impact of hits. The league also outlawed running starts for the kicking team, wedges and formational overloads that lead to dangerous situations for players.’

Bills’ Jones looks forward after tumultuous offseason

‘”I could’ve lost my life, so I’m grateful to just be here and be on this field, and to be with my teammates,” Jones said Sunday, in speaking to reporters for the first time this offseason. “I don’t think there’s any other word that describes it, but just thankful and grateful.”‘

Bills acquire WR Coleman from Browns

‘Coleman, 24, was the 15th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft but has battled inconsistencies and dealt with injuries since entering the league. The Bills are hopeful a change of scenery can help Coleman bolster a team that did not have a wide receiver with more than 27 catches last season.’
