Pollock: Bills have ‘earned’ right to national NFL recognition

‘“It’s good to play meaningful games in December, that’s the goal, and that’s where we’re at,” he said. “We’re sitting in December, our record is what our record is, but I can’t stress this enough, it’s a week-to-week proposition (this time) against probably the best team in football right now. You just look at the last six weeks, the (Ravens) numbers are staggering.”’

Buffalo Bills may use 3 of own players in practice to try to simulate Lamar Jackson

‘“(Jackson is) Very unique; very talented player,” McDermott said Monday from the Bills’ practice facility. “I don’t think there’s been a defense that’s cracked the code to this point, so to speak. … We’ve got some thoughts (on how we’ll prepare for him) but we’ve got a little more time to go through it. We may have to use, put a guy here, one guy there and one guy there, and just say go. He’s just so fast.”’

‘”We talk a lot about things being earned, and the guys have earned that. So, I don’t think we shy away from that standpoint,” McDermott said. “But we also know there’s a lot of work ahead of us, a lot of runway to go yet.”‘

Taking the next step

‘They might need to outscore an explosive Baltimore Ravens offense on Sunday at New Era Field. Following that, the Bills will go on the road to face the Pittsburgh Steelers, who is allowing the seventh-fewest points per-game, and then the New England Patriots, who is the No. 1 in scoring defense.’

‘“What you see in this Sean McDermott team is they are a disciplined team. You don’t see them beat themselves. They don’t turn the football over. You talk about Josh Allen and what he’s done in the last six weeks has been amazing. … Defensively, you have a hard time naming some of their defensive starters – Tre’Davious White – but yet they are so coordinated with what they do in the back end.”’

Bills about to get taste of Lamar Jackson’s ‘special’ skills

‘”The Ravens have been patient with him,” said Wood, who played center for the Bills from 2009 to 2017. “They didn’t try and fit a square peg into a round hole. They said, ‘OK, if Lamar can’t do full-field progressions, if Lamar isn’t going to sit back there and check protections and do some of the stuff that we want a traditional quarterback to do, let’s tailor an offense to him.’ I knew his skill set could translate to success in the NFL. I just believed he needed to be in the right system. And I will go on record to say that Greg Roman may go down as one of the best, if not the best, mobile-quarterback offensive coordinators of all time.”‘
