Allen: “There’s a lot to prove”
‘“Odds are, they’re going to come out and we’re going to see something that we haven’t seen from them. Like I said we’ll have to make adjustments in the game. As long as we’re sticking to the base rules, I know what our answers are,” Allen explained.’
Injury report: Andre Roberts declared out for Sunday
‘“We’ve got some options there,” said McDermott. “Whether it’s (Robert) Foster, Devin Singletary, (Isaiah) McKenzie, (Micah) Hyde. We’ve got some guys who have some experience there.”’
8 things to watch for in Bills at Jets | Kickoff Weekend
‘“I think he has shown, in some areas where his critics didn’t realize, how smart he is,” Mortensen told One Bills Live. “What a good team guy he is. The only thing I worry about Josh is how competitive he is — to his own detriment physically. I think everybody got to see that last year. At the same time, he’ll make you stand up out of your seat.”’
Bills Today: Dion Dawkins’ new mindset leads to captain designation
‘“It just means that I’m heading in the right direction,” Dawkins said. “I’m on a track and I’m trying to stay on track as long as I can. Captain is a great honor, but it doesn’t change anything. I’m just going to keep doing what I’ve been doing.”’
‘They preach family here, and it’s a real thing’: Why chemistry matters to the Bills
‘Since taking over as coach in January 2017, McDermott has made team building a top priority. This offseason, the coaching staff continued the tradition of having new players address the entire team, giving them an opportunity to explain where they come from and who they play for. The meetings serve as a way for teammates to forge relationships on a deeper, more meaningful level. The ultimate goal is to build a bond that can make a difference in the outcome of games.’
Sunday’s season opener will put Josh Allen in Gregg Williams’ line of fire
‘Actually, the book on Williams is he likes to play a lot of Cover 2 (two-deep safeties) and Tampa 2 (two deep with the middle linebacker dropping to the intermediate middle) on early downs. The way to attack that is efficient possession passing – can Allen accurately execute that game? – and a good running game.’
News sports writers predict Bills-Jets for Week 1
‘The Bills’ many offensive upgrades might not show up as quickly, but they should allow the team to capitalize enough on the gambles the Jets will likely take with their heavy blitzing to come away with the win. Bills, 23-17.’
View from Vegas: Bills look like good bet as road underdog
‘The Jets are under the lead of former Dolphins coach Adam Gase, who wore out his welcome in Miami with an ego larger than Lake Okeechobee and is already on the clock in the Big Apple.’
5 players (other than Josh Allen) who will determine the Buffalo Bills’ playoff fate
‘He’s 5-7. He played at Florida Atlantic, a Football Bowl Subdivision school. He rushed for 4,299 yards and 66 touchdowns in his college career. And he’s the man who made veteran star LeSean McCoy expendable, well, that and McCoy’s $9-million salary cap number. The Bills have just three active running backs and the venerable Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon will get their share of touches. But Singletary is being handed a golden opportunity to be the Bills’ No. 1 running back as time goes on. Is the NFL too big for him? Or do big things come in small packages? We’re about to find out.’
Who is Vincent Taylor? Buffalo Bills add Dolphins’ ‘most impactful DT per snap last season’ to practice squad
‘Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reported that Taylor’s release had nothing to do with his performance on the field. It was simply a matter of not fitting Miami’s current defensive scheme.’
Jets’ and Bills’ young QBs could be squaring off for awhile
‘“It’s going to be fun to go up against him the second go-around,” Darnold said after practice Thursday in Florham Park. “It’s fun to think about. Even on draft night, we talked about it a little bit, jokingly, but now that it’s actually here, it’s very serious. We’re both very competitive people.”’
