‘So there was some good and some bad here from Allen, but there were no signs of panicking in the pocket as we saw last week during OTAs. While it wasn’t quite like his performance during the second week of OTAs, I think this was a solid base to work from for the final two days of minicamp.’

‘McDermott was asked about quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey and his working with Josh Allen and how it compares to how he worked with Carolina’s Cam Newton. “It’s an evolution for Ken in his development and growth as a coach, then also for Josh , there are some similarities but I wiuld say for sure they’re their own player, just like when I was a position coach, first and foremost you have to show them how much you care before they really care how much you know, then you have to become a really good teacher and what works for you may not work for someone else, in terms of teaching style and what will get you up to speed. Every situation is a little bit different, but there are certain similarities to some of the mobility and things like that with the two players.”‘
4 Notable Quotes: Sean McDermott
‘Frank does it his way. When I say that I mean he does it our way but at the end of the day, he is who he is and there’s a lot of power in that. He really doesn’t give a whole lot about what others say or think about him and that’s part of what’s made him good over the years. I love what he brings to us and that’s really all that matters.’
How will the defensive line delegate these pass rush responsibilities without Kyle Williams?
‘“Well we’re looking at it as a group effort right now,” said Trent Murphy. “We’ll all put some time in to fill that role that Kyle did on his own.

Top 3 things we learned from Day 1 of Bills minicamp
‘“It’s all part of the game,” said Morse, who was just cleared this week from offseason core muscle surgery. “It’s been weird and exceptional with the number of people we have out, but it’s the nature of the beast. It’s terrible being injured and you want to be participating. I think every one of those guys will be ready to roll at training camp and that’s all that matters. It’d be nice to be out here, but we don’t want to get guys really hurt.”’
Bills Today: Sean McDermott has this vision for the defense in 2019
‘“When we can put people behind the sticks and put us in favorable positions where it’s third and long, fourth and long, or second and long, usually when you can do that that’s putting pressure on the offense on the opponent and that’s where turnovers tend to happen,” McDermott said.’
Still one of the youngest players in the NFL, Tremaine Edmunds poised to make a leap

Buffalo Bills minicamp: Who is Josh Allen’s top target? (7 storylines)
‘The Bills will probably have a different No. 1 wide receiver on a weekly basis in 2019. Zay Jones, John Brown and Robert Foster all have qualities that could make them a top target on any given week for Allen. But who is getting the No. 1 receiver reps in practice? In the first two weeks of OTAs it was Jones who seemed to be the man. His familiarity with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s offense combined with the chemistry he built with Allen in year one have him primed for a jump in his third season. But Brown is the only 1,000-yard receiver the Bills have on their roster. And Foster’s big play ability is eye-popping. It’s going to be worth watching throughout the year to see who is the top receiver target for Allen in 2019.’

This week will give people like me a chance to see him and his teammates three days in a row.’

How will the defensive line delegate these pass rush responsibilities without Kyle Williams?
‘“That is something that we have talked about a lot and that’s one of the things we’ll miss from Kyle, how he took control of our defensive line in certain situations and was really a coach on the field,” said Frazier. “We put it to our players, we wanted to ask them who was going to be that guy to step up and have the courage to put the time in.”’
