St. John Fisher Bills’ camp home at least for now

‘However, McDermott also added, “If it weren’t (an ongoing decision), we wouldn’t be doing our collective jobs because of what we now have here (at New Era Field). The needs of the modern athlete change every day. We have to make sure we’re giving them every chance to become the best versions of themselves.”’

Ed Oliver lines up with second-team defense in first Bills camp practice

‘“Football’s football. However you dissect it, look at it, guys are out here getting better,” said Oliver, selected ninth overall in the NFL Draft. “When you start looking at it differently is when you start getting different results. I want to keep the same success rate, so I look at it the same way.”’

Bills’ QB Josh Allen already showing why this is his team

‘”I remember last year, I didn’t get a ton of reps at the start of camp,” Allen said. “You just never know when your opportunity’s going to be, you never know what opportunities you’re going to be thrust into. That’s why I told (Jackson), ‘Last year, I tried to make the big play just because I got these little reps. There’s a deep pass called, I want to throw that deep. I want to hear the crowd, the oohs and ahhs, all that stuff.”

What They Said: Beane, McDermott, Allen, Edmunds on Day 1 of camp

‘He’s a rookie and this is his first real day of practice. It’s a journey so it just takes some time. He’ll have to go through really everything that the rookies go through in terms of getting themselves acclimated to the NFL. There’s a jump. There’s a gap between major college football even in the NFL, so he’s got a long way to go right now.’

LeSean McCoy is still the No. 1 running back, say Beane and McDermott

‘“When Sean and (offensive coordinator) Brian Daboll roll the ball out, LeSean is going to be the first running back to touch the ball,” Beane said before the Bills took the field at Fisher for their first training camp practice under a brilliant sunny sky. “That’s the way we see it.”’

Bills GM Brandon Beane says LeSean McCoy isn’t afraid of competition at running back

‘“There’s not any inside noise so, you know, outside it is what it is,” Beane said Thursday before the Bills’ first training camp practice at St. John Fisher college. “A lot of that comes from nobody playing football (for seven months). People have jobs to do, a lot of you guys, that’s one of the topics. When (Bills coach) Sean (McDermott) and (offensive coordinator) Brian Daboll roll the ball out LeSean is going to be the first running back to touch the ball.”’

Bills Training Camp 2019: Josh Allen works with Cole Beasley on Day 1 (9 observations)

‘But this year’s different. For so many reasons. He has new quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey, who’s already showing and telling him things he hadn’t ever known before. The offensive line that collapsed in front of him for the majority of his 11 games in 2018 has been rebuilt. Bills general manager Brandon Beane signed seven new offensive linemen and traded up in the second round of April’s draft to get another one. He has two new proven weapons in speedster John Brown and slot man Cole Beasley.’

Bills’ Josh Allen halts interview for picture with young fan holding back tears

‘Allen made his way over to the fan and he signed an autograph for him. He asked for a picture but Allen was getting bombarded by requests. The young fan was holding back tears waiting for Allen to get back to him. He fought them back and smiled once Allen grabbed his phone and snapped the picture that will surely make the youngster a fan for life.’
