To be honest, that’s most of the battle. I know that it’s tough being a quarterback, especially being a young quarterback, but he’s got last year to draw on and I think he can be really special this year.”‘

‘“Certainly there’s a challenge there,” said coach Sean McDermott, “with the number of guys we’ve had out, in particular on the offensive side of the ball, trying to build the continuity and get guys acclimated to what we do.

‘The NFL’s Cheerleader Problem’ and the Buffalo Jills: What happened?
‘Pinzone, an accountant who lives in Western New York, had spent most of her day before the premiere doing interviews in New York City. During an interview with The News, she recalled her frustrations from her single Jills season: The cheerleaders were required to invest their own money in a uniform (which they could keep) and the team’s swimsuit calendars (which they could sell). They didn’t get paid for games or community events, though they were compensated for corporate appearances. At some practices, they were required to participate in physique evaluations, which became widely known as “the jiggle test”: The cheerleaders individually performed jumping jacks in front of the Jills leadership, who watched to see if that woman was fit enough to perform at that weekend’s game. If deemed not, she was benched.’
5 takeaways from first day of Buffalo Bills minicamp
‘But there’s one problem right now in minicamp for Allen and the Bills: half of those weapons are missing in action. Jones, Foster and Beasley are expected to be three of the four top receivers on the roster this year. In their place are Andre Roberts (a special teams standout), Duke Williams and Isaiah McKenzie. Not a bad group but far from an elite starting unit.’

It’s, you go around to a lot of softball games and that’s what you see, right, around Buffalo,” McDermott asked. “I think he was having some fun with the fans as well, which is the great and humble part about Josh. He does a great job of connecting with the fans and we have a lot of passionate fans that, from time to time, probably drink a beer or two before a game.”’

Foster out; Morse, Beasley return as Bills open minicamp
‘Head coach Sean McDermott said Foster suffered a foot injury last week and, although they are still going through the evaluation process, he doesn’t believe it to be something long-term right now. He also once again said Kroft is most likely the only long-term injury of the group. The tight end suffered a broken foot on the first day of OTAs last month.’
