Sean McDermott on possibility of playing games without fans: ‘We’ll adjust’

‘“Let’s face it, from the time we’re just 6, 7, 8, 9 years old and we first start playing football … it was always nice to have the sideline packed, right?” McDermott said. “And then you take that to junior high into high school to college … and now to the NFL. That’s a big part of the environment and the atmosphere, in particular in Buffalo, for us. So it’ll be a challenge, it’ll be different, but I also know this: I know that we’ll adjust.”’

How Buffalo Bills HC Sean McDermott plans to use rookie AJ Epenesa in ‘perfect world’

‘“AJ, I think in a perfect world…” McDermott said thinking about his response. “We still have Trent (Murphy), we’ve got Jerry (Hughes), we brought in Mario Addison at the end position, we’ve got some young ends still as well in Darryl Johnson and Mike Love… In a perfect world, he’ll play a backup position the first season potentially to move inside on rush situations. That’s asking a lot at this point because, learning as you know, learning two positions just in your first season and adjusting all the while to life in the NFL is a challenge so we’ll just focus on one position for now, but the more he can do the better for us and for his future.”’

Dolphins’ LT Jackson vs. Bills’ DE Epenesa is going to be a thing. And Jackson must do better

‘And if you fast-foward to the draft in April, that awkward moment between Epenesa and the Bills now extends to the Dolphins. Because the Bills drafted Epenesa in the second round, with the No. 54 overall selection. And the Dolphins drafted Jackson in the first round, with the No. 18 overall selection. So if the plans concocted by the Dolphins and Bills manifest we will see Jackson versus Epenesa twice per season for years to come.’

Report says NFL head coaches may be returning next week, minicamps in June

‘According to Robinson, head coaches may be returning to team facilities as early as next week, with players reporting for minicamps in mid-to-late June. All of this would be dependent on state and local governments giving the go-ahead for all facilities to be open in their jurisdictions, as well as the NFL green-lighting teams getting back to work, as the country continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.’
