Bills’ OC Brian Daboll shows growing confidence in Josh Allen

‘“I think that the more reps we get, the better off it is for him,” Daboll said. “And that’s just not out there on a seven-on-seven or a team (skeleton) or perimeter period. That’s routes on air that we’ve been doing since Phase One and Phase Two, and making him move off the spot and reset by location on underneath throws, where we’ve got a better opportunity to catch and run. And it’s not just catching the ball for the skill guys. It’s making sure the skill guys are in the right spot, doing the right thing when they’re supposed to do it, too. A yard off here or there can be a big difference in a throw.”‘

Leslie Frazier on first-round pick Ed Oliver: ‘He has some rare physical traits’

‘“The learning curve part for Ed is not only picking up our system and grasping that, but coming to the National Football League, as well,” Frazier said. “One of the things you’ve got to be able to deal with is, this locker room is just so different from what he came from at the University of Houston. The competition is so different, so there’s a learning curve when it comes to that. There are some guys who can match up a little bit better than some of the people he played against in college, so you’ve got to be able to get through that, and then you throw in what we’re doing from a defensive standpoint that’s a different scheme than the scheme that he came from. Being able to grasp that and being able to go out and play fast.”’

Report: Raiders Sign Guard Richie Incognito to One-Year Deal

‘The 35-year-old guard last played in 2017 for the Bills. He initially retired on Twitter in April 2018 after the season concluded but was then released from the Reserve/Retired List by Buffalo after he told the team he wanted to unretire.’

Bills’ Frazier thinks two often injured veterans are looking good in OTA’s

‘Tre White and Levi Wallace come into OTA’s as the starters, but watch out for Kevin Johnson. He’s a five-year veteran that was drafted in the first round by Houston. Injuries derailed him with the Texans as he played 16 games, six games, 12 games and one game. Frazier likes how he’s looked in the first two weeks of practice, “He’s a former first round pick that had a good career in Houston and the injuries are what sidetracked him, but you saw the ability coming out of college (Wake Forest), so we’re hoping that he can stay healthy because we know he has the talent to really help us.”’

Report: Raiders to sign former Bills OL Richie Incognito to one-year deal

‘The Bills released Incognito, and he became an unrestricted free agent. Incognito did not land on any team for the 2018 season, however. Instead, the former offensive lineman found himself dealing with a string of legal issues, starting just two days after his release from the Bills. In that incident, police were called to a fitness center in Boca Raton, Florida, for a disturbance allegedly involving Incognito.’

Bills OC Daboll talks QB and OL

‘When asked about the rebuilding of the offensive line and how he will handle the new group getting in sync together Daboll said, “you give them as many reps as you can, those guys meet a ton, coach Johnson and Hef and Wendy do a good job with them. You have to be a physical player and move people off the line of scrimmage, but you have to be a player that communicates as well, particularly from inside out so everybody’s on the same page, you give them as many reps as you can, you go through it in training camp, the sooner you can get that ironed out, the better off you will be for all five of those guys.”‘
