Bills Today | Young leaders spearheading Bills virtual offseason efforts

‘”Just the leadership, the buy-in to our offseason program, I think that, in and of itself, takes leadership, player-driven leadership on top of the coach-driven leadership in this case,” said McDermott. “(Josh) and Tremaine Edmunds have both been big movers ahead, if you will, of the buy-in for our offseason virtual program.”‘

Bills’ offense faces another schedule of monster defenses in 2020

‘The Bills will face two offenses that figure to be elite — in the top five by any measure. They are Kansas City and San Francisco. The Chiefs finished fifth in scoring last year and the Niners were second. The Bills’ defense faces three other attacks that have a good shot to be top-10 caliber: Seattle, Tennessee and Arizona. Seattle was fifth in efficiency last year, the Titans were sixth and the Cardinals were 13th.’

Is Buffalo Bills RB Zack Moss the next Chris Carson? (ESPN Insider’s bold prediction)

‘“Zack Moss will emerge as one of the league’s best rushers,” said Clay. “Moss fell to the Buffalo Bills in the third round after running a 4.65-second 40-yard dash, but that can’t overshadow his absurd rushing efficiency at Utah; he ranked second in this year’s rookie class in both yards after contact and forced missed tackle rate last season. Moss is big (223 pounds), tough, quick and has receiving chops. He is this year’s Jordan Howard/Chris Carson.”’

Bills begin rookie minicamp Monday

‘Drafted rookies, undrafted free agents, and any player who has not completed one season in which he earned a year of credited service are eligible to participate in rookie minicamp. Additionally, according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each club may allow no more than five veteran players to participate, as well.’

Bills Today | What’s the toughest stretch on the Bills schedule?

‘”Earlier in the season when you’re playing two games against the Jets, they have two games against the Dolphins on the schedule—those are two teams I expect to struggle this season, even if they are a little bit better,” Clay said. “Of course the Patriots, we don’t expect to be quite as good as in year’s past. So playing six of their 16 games against the division is a big reason why I like their slate.”‘

Bills Mailbag: Can Josh Allen and Co. reach 12 wins in 2020?

‘There are only a couple of games I’m putting firmly in the “loss” category – Kansas City and San Francisco. Given that, I’d say 11-5 would be more likely than 9-7. I’d put their ceiling at 12-4, swinging losses I have predicted to the Jets and Broncos to wins.’

Some memories of Shula during Dolphins tenure

‘There were several players in attendance along with some coaches, and the service was by a priest who traveled with the team. During the service, the first Bible reading was done by Bob Griese, who, out of uniform, looked more like a member of the choir than a pro football player. Then Coach Shula took the pulpit and did a very respectful job on the second reading. It was one of the nicest Masses I’ve ever attended. The priest never did entreat the Lord to help his team, but as usual back then, the Dolphins beat the Pats.’

Bills Mafia gets ready to hit Vegas Strip

‘Stang and younger brother Aaron started attending games with their father, Richard, as tykes. “My dad wanted us to share his passion for the Bills,” Ryan said. “He also wanted to sneak beer into the stadium in our snowmobile suits.”’

Poloncarz doubts New Era Field will be packed this season

‘”Just because they announced the season schedule doesn’t mean there actually will be fans in those stands. I don’t know. And there could be a limit on fans by a percentage of individuals,” he said. “Even if you did it at 25% of the fans, that’s still roughly 20,000 people, and then you include the other folks that need to be in the stadium for a football team. This is all new, we don’t know, and I don’t think we’re going to know until probably August.”‘
