Bills’ Zack Moss credits ‘sense of awareness,’ fundamentals for his very few fumbles

10 bold predictions for Buffalo Bills in 2020: Josh Allen throws 30 TDs?
‘When trying to figure whether things will improve in that department you start with the fact the Bills offense introduced nine new starters last year. Allen and company needed some time to iron out the kinks. Diggs is sure-handed and tight end Dawson Knox knows he was the team’s biggest culprit when it came to dropping passes. Expect him to be better in Year 2.’
Bills OL Ryan Bates finds unique way of working out during virtual offseason
‘“It’s been very hectic you know moving back home. I like my personal space you know my family knows that and this is the time to be with loved ones during quarantine and the whole COVID thing happening and everything going on in the world and I’m just happy I have a place to put everything. They kind of let me have the garage and you know it’s going good,” Bates explained.’

Why national analysts believe Josh Allen will thrive in his third NFL season
‘”He has to get through his reads faster,” said CBS NFL analyst Pete Prisco. “He can’t put his foot in the ground and go to read one and then get out of there. He’s got to put his foot in the ground, go read one, read two, read three and check down. It’s a lot safer than running around.’
Why FaceTime is Brian Daboll’s preferred communication method
‘”I think the connection part is cool because we haven’t been able to be together and just to see faces certainly makes it more personal. It’s personal and that’s the best step we can take right now, but still would surely be better to be in person and together with one another. When you can see someone’s face, I think it’s beneficial to both sides. We need this interaction as humans. Maybe Daboll was out in front of the times and a trailblazer.”’
One Big Question for every Bills defensive position
‘A look at the current defensive tackle depth chart reveals what could be a solid rotation of players, but not enough spots for everyone. Last year, the team kept four defensive tackles on the opening week roster. If they do that again this year, at least one notable name will be left out. Right now, they have Star Loutulelei, Ed Oliver, Quinton Jefferson, Harrison Phillips, Vernon Butler, and Vincent Taylor. That’s six players for four spots. Taylor would seem like the longest shot to make the roster, but he was active for three games last year and showed plenty of upside with the Miami Dolphins in 2018. Even if he doesn’t make it there’s still one more person who won’t.’
Josh Allen surprised his father with a big gift
‘”I just recently bought my dad a truck,” grinned Allen from ear to ear. “His truck had 140,000 miles and I just told him, look I got here because of what you and mom did. I just wanna show you how much I appreciate you and what you’ve done for me over the course of my life. I know it can’t be repaid but I just wanted to show him that I loved him.”‘
New coach Eric Washington: Bills’ defensive line will take sacks to ‘the next level’
‘”I’m so excited about this group of men because they’re hungry, they’re talented,” Washington said. “There’s youth, there’s experience. There’s all of these different things that, when you put that together and you try and extract the absolute best from that group, there’s a lot to make you excited. We want those hurries and pressures to turn into sacks and sack-fumbles, and I’m very confident in the program that we’re going to use to get that done.”‘
Bills Mailbag: Should teams carry more quarterbacks on roster this year?
‘The NFL is considering a proposal to allow teams to expand their practice squads to 16 players this season with the idea being that teams will inevitably have players get sick and need to be quarantined for a certain amount of time. It’s a great point made by Paul that keeping only two quarterbacks on the roster, then, would be risky.’

Sean McDermott on Bills TE Dawson Knox: ‘Availability’ and ‘consistency’ are key in year two
‘“We do expect a year of growth, a year of development. Obviously going from its first year to a second year, and I’m really encouraged by the way that he’s approached things really encouraged by the way that he’s worked on his body this offseason, from what it appears and, you know, I think a big piece of it is going to be his, his availability and his consistency. And so sometimes what you see the first year is the lack of at times consistency, and I think Dawson is aware of that and he’s committed to developing to the point where that becomes a strength of his and we’re here to help him with it,” McDermott said on a zoom call with reporters.’

7 superlatives that describe the 2020 Bills offseason
‘In the wake of the nearly two weeks of protests at the time in the wake of the tragic and senseless death of George Floyd, Buffalo’s defensive coordinator in a Zoom call with the Western New York media perfectly encapsulated the current state of racial inequality and social injustices in our country and also expressed the hope that it would be a watershed moment in our country’s history in enacting real change. As Frazier said himself, only time will tell.’
