‘“Ball placement is huge, especially in this league,” said Allen. “The type of concepts that we have, trying to get the ball to our playmakers where that can make some plays. That was a huge emphasis, we’re still working it. That is something that will never change, you always want to try to work on ball placement. Every day you come out, it’s kind of a new thing and sometimes the ball comes out of your hand a little bit differently. You have to make adjustments and understand what your body is trying to tell you and try to go with it.”’

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.
