‘“Sometimes things people see as a negative can be a positive. When you’re not the biggest or fastest guy, you’ve got to find ways to make guys miss and feel where guys are behind you,” Kiffin said. “Sometimes when you’re always the fastest kid, you don’t necessarily need that.

‘Still, Allen accrued some valuable experience, and now in his second year in Brian Daboll’s offense, being mentored by a true QB coach in Ken Dorsey, and surrounded by a much stronger supporting cast, the expectations are soaring for Allen.

Buffalo Bills place Frank Gore on NFI, Tyler Kroft and Jeremiah Sirles on PUP (report)
‘Gore’s absence from the practice field opens the door for T.J. Yeldon to make an impression as he’ll likely get the bulk of the reps with the second team. Rookie Devin Singletary spent the spring splitting reps with LeSean McCoy on the first team and is expected to be there again in camp.’

Bills’ LeSean McCoy is ‘done;’ ‘No reason to keep Shady around,’ says CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson
‘Bills general manager Brandon Beane remains steadfast in his offseason proclamation that McCoy is still a part of the team’s plans in 2019 as the starting running back.

‘Kroft could be back before or after the regular season opener but he still has work to do to get up to speed on the offense and on the same page with Allen. He could return and be forced into a backup role to start after Knox gets the majority of the first-team reps in camp and the preseason.’
Embedded reveals Buffalo Bills’ full-court press on David Sills V following 2019 NFL Draft
‘Beane said part of the pitch was mentioning to Sills, the wide receiver they wanted the most after the draft, that the team didn’t spend a draft pick on the position. If the Bills had selected a wide receiver during the 2019 draft, Sills may have looked for an opportunity elsewhere as his odds of making the team would have appeared slim with a draft pick ahead of him as well as Zay Jones, Robert Foster, John Brown, Cole Beasley and Andre Roberts all looking like roster locks.’

‘After Bills took developmental step back last year, expectations are rising with GM Brandon Beane using his wealth of salary cap space to address numerous needs.

Would Bills cut LeSean McCoy? Here’s why Shady may be done, and how the crowded RB situation could play out
‘”The Bills’ RB position is fascinating,” Brinson said. “Do you think those four guys are complementary enough to work together, or do you see Yeldon, Gore, maybe even Shady get cut? Gore is pretty cheap ($1.25M base salary, $2M cap hit), Singletary’s on a rookie contract, cheap, and Yeldon’s on a two-year, $3.2M deal.’
