Morse’s Code: Bills New Center Takes Calming Approach To Job

‘”It’s part of the gig, man. Losses are tough in this league. You’re so emotionally driven that it’s easy to lose your composure. And you guys have a job to do, right?” he said, referring to the media. “I’ve always been able to keep kind of a level head. … It’s just something I’ve been able to do.”‘

Bills’ McCoy pays $55K to officer hurt in bar fight

Bills Guard Isaac Asiata Announces Retirement From NFL

‘”I have lived the last two years of my NFL career waging war with myself mentally,” he said. “With constant anxiety, persistent worry and fear of the unknown and of ‘what comes next’ if I were to be done …The fear of failure consumed me to the point of questioning myself and my ability to play this game. I no longer played this game because I loved it.”‘

Bills get physical in the rain

‘Practice got quite physical, especially for about a five-minute period with a couple big hits and then a fight. Safety Deane Marlowe was involved in both instances. First, he took a big shot from guard Jon Feliciano, who was blocking downfield, then he gave a shot to wideout Ray-Ray McCloud, which knocked the receivers’ helmet off. Immediately, several offensive players ran out on the field when it happened, and McCloud then turned into the crowd and threw some punches. After players dispersed, McCloud went to the sidelines to be looked at by trainers. He was back on the field shortly after.’

Daboll has all the confidence in Josh Allen

‘”Josh has made progress since he’s been here. He’s made progress throughout the OTAs and he’s made progress just in these four days. I have confidence in Josh. He’s a second-year player that has a good grasp of what we want to do, and this is the time to do it. There’s going to be times where you’re going to be out there practicing against our defense, who’s a good defense, and he’s going to learn as camp goes what throws to make and what throws he should maybe hang from. I want him to make those throws, and I want to try and make him throw in tight windows, on time and make the tough ones. That’s only going to make us better as we sit back and look at the tape to try and improve that.”‘

Frazier: Oliver is beginning to “come alive” with pads on

‘“Up to this point, you really see him begin to come alive with the pads on,” Frazier said. “It’s hard for the defensive lineman to practice without pads. It really limits them from what they can do. Ed’s game is about his explosion, his power and his quickness and we saw some of that the first day we put pads on. It’s a little bit of an adjustment for him coming from a scheme where he was pretty much lined up directly over the center. Now we have more to guard so there are some intricacies and some thing’s he’ll have to learn but it was good to see him be able to do what he’s capable of doing and that’s being able to explode off the football and use his quickness and his power which he hadn’t been able to do prior in the past.”’

Bills decide against Wall of Famer in 2019

‘Did you know that only one player has been selected for the Wall of Fame since Phil Hansen in 2011? It was Cookie Gilchrist in 2017 and that honor came way too late but that’s a whole different story. The Bills need to honor a deserving player in 2020 and that next player should be Eric Moulds.’

Buffalo Bills offensive guard Isaac Asiata retires

‘The 23-year-old player was entering his third season in the league. He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft and had spent the majority of last season on the team’s practice squad. He was signed by the Bills shortly before Training Camp.’

Kyle Williams returns to Bills’ camp with new focus

‘”I love football, I love the Buffalo Bills, so to be invited back and come back and share what I know and try to help our guys out, it is a blessing and I am happy to be here,” Williams said after practice on Tuesday.’

SI KIDS names Buffalo Bills fans among top five in the world

‘SIKids pointed to the dedication of Bills fans as part of the ranking saying “Losing four Super Bowls in a row would have crushed a lesser fan base. The #BillsMafia loves its team so much, they donated $415,000 to Andy Dalton’s foundation in 2017 when the Bengals’ QB’s Hail-Mary touchdown against the Ravens sent the Bills to the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.”‘

Foster continuing to ‘grow & evolve’ heading into 2nd season

‘“When tape is out there on you, this is the NFL, it’s professional football and people get paid money to — a lot of money — to get out in front of that and study it,” the head coach said Sunday. “So, he has to continue to evolve as a football player.”’

Devin Singletary earns high praise from QB Josh Allen

‘“As a rookie, it’s rare to have a guy that gives such good body language to the quarterback,” quarterback Josh Allen said on Sunday. “Whenever he feels like there is a spot that’s open, he’s going to let you know just by how he looks. His eye contact with the quarterback, his feel for the game at such as young age is pretty fun to see.”‘

Quick Hits: Levi Wallace is the leader for the starting right cornerback spot

‘“He’s the incumbent starter and somebody has to take it away from him,” he said. “It’s always about competition. And all the guys are competing for a starting job, but he’s the starter. Whether guys are gaining on him or not, it matters but it doesn’t matter. Levi is the starter and we’ll see how things go. We’ll see how those other guys come along.”’

Top 3 things to know from Day 5 at Bills training camp

‘“That was probably was the most competitive,” said Lorenzo Alexander after practice concluded. “You always try to figure out what the tempo is while also protecting guys. In practice you always try to run up to that line as much as you can. We probably had a couple of guys go over it. But that’s okay. You’d rather it go that way than be too soft, especially in this game.”’
