Josh Allen ‘in a good spot’ as Bills prepare for season-opener

‘”So, I think as far as mechanics go, I think I’m in a good spot. Obviously, there’s still a lot to work on and it’s going to be a weekly thing, day in and day out, just trying to try to perfect it. Nobody’s ever going to be perfect and I understand that, but to try to reach perfection is what you have to think about.”‘

Bubble watch: 10 players sweating out Bills’ final cuts

‘Croom is a one-dimensional player. He has some receiving ability, but he’s not going to block anybody. The Bills have three tight ends ahead of him – Dawson Knox, Tyler Kroft and Lee Smith – with defined roles. It’s unlikely Croom would beat out any of them, and keeping four tight ends is a stretch.’

Josh Allen feels he’s in ‘more control’ of Bills offense this year

‘“He’s grown since he’s been here,” Daboll said. “He grows every day. He’s dedicated to his craft, he’s an excellent leader, he understands what we want. He goes out there and he tries to do it on a daily basis. He’s got great relationships with people in the building, not just his teammates but with everybody in the building. He’s the leader of our football team.”’

How will Stefon Diggs, John Brown & Cole Beasley all eat in Bills passing attack? Easy – Brown’s already seen it

‘“John, he’s one of my favorite guys – love him,” McDermott said. “He’s all about the team (and has) a very unselfish approach, which is somewhat unique to that position. It’s been interesting and fun to watch his relationship with Stefon Diggs grow. And then really Stefon’s relationship with guys that have been here like Cole Beasley. … I just really appreciate the dynamic in that room and how everyone has taken a real unselfish approach. There’s only one ball.”’

Five stat questions before the Bills 2020 season

‘Singletary was extremely efficient in his rookie season, even at the end of the year when he saw a much bigger workload. He will head into his second season as the starting RB, and he is heavily favored by fans to finish with the most scrimmage yards at the position. Not sure I agree with the majority here. Moss is a powerful, versatile weapon that showed at Utah he can be a dangerous receiver in the backfield. He is a more talented player and eventually this season he will take over the majority of the work.’

‘Jones, who returned to practice as a limited participant Thursday, provides the Bills with a difference-maker on special teams. Yeldon provides depth behind both Singletary and Moss if the Bills are bit by the injury bug. He may not be the flashiest player, but he’s a reliable option in the passing game and can still play when called upon.’

Bills QB Josh Allen: “I feel like I’m more in control of the offense this year”

‘“He’s done a fantastic job. Just to be out a practice to see how he commands their huddle, to see the plays that he makes, the smart decisions he makes, the way that he can get himself out of trouble with his legs if he needs to. He was a phenomenal football player last year and he’s a better player this year. To see the growth in him from year two to year three just makes me so optimistic about him being my quarterback.”’

Bills QB Josh Allen calls NFL cut down day one of the ‘saddest days’ in sports

‘“In my opinion it’s the saddest day in all of sports. A lot of guys are losing part of them and the game of football. It’s such a sad day because there’s guys that I know can play on other teams that might not have that opportunity especially this year with all the COVID restrictions and what not,” Josh Allen said on a zoom call with reporters.’

“Excruciating” rehab got Harrison Phillips fully back and ready for the season

‘“That process was long, but I appreciate it so much because when you go through an exodus like that, you learn so much about yourself,” Harrison Phillips said to reporters on Zoom on Thursday. “Now when anything that I go through, whether it’s training camp, not getting this play, not getting that play, there’s always the perspective that I’m still healthy and I can still play, so how bad can it be? It was a long rehab but the team here that the Bills provided did a great job to keep me healthy.”’
