Can Bills’ Emmanuel Sanders develop quick chemistry with Josh Allen, like Stefon Diggs did?

‘“I played two years with Emmanuel at SMU and there he was actually only a slot guy,” Beasley said. “His last year there, he asked (coach) June (Jones) to move him to outside to get some film, but there’s really where he kind of reigned supreme, was in the slot. Separation guy. Anytime you can get away from DBs, you’re going to be pretty good at wideout. So he brings a lot of juice and energy to this team and I’m excited to get to play with him once again. It’d be the coolest thing ever if we could kind of put this thing together and get a Super Bowl together.”’

Stefon Diggs talks about a way he can get even better for Bills in 2021

‘“I feel like we didn’t hit the deep ball well enough,” Diggs said. “We were pretty good intermediate. But as far as hitting the deep ball consistently, it’s me being where I need to be when I’m supposed to be there and him trusting me … So as far as like continuing to grow that relationship, nurture that relationship, hopefully we can take another step. We had a lot of success, but every year’s a new year and I want to take another step with him as far as being the best.”’

Bills sign two offensive linemen

‘Gauthier signed as an undrafted free agent with the New England Patriots in 2018 and has spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins, including last season on the Miami practice squad. He was waived earlier this month. Gauthier has not played in a regular season game.’

Bills’ training camp observations: Josh Allen, Carlos Basham make ‘wow’ plays

‘In the middle of the 11-on-11 session, Allen fired a laser 30 yards down the middle of the field that hit receiver Cole Beasley in perfect stride. The play happened so quickly and the ball arrived with such zip that the safeties had no chance to make a play, and Beasley likely would have turned it into a 50- or 60-yard touchdown. Everyone on offense gave Allen a high-five after the play.’

Stefon Diggs welcomes the challenge of expectations as he looks to erase memory of KC loss

‘“I try not to think too much about last year just because it’s a new year, everybody’s starting from ground zero,” Diggs said when he met with western New York reporters in person for the first time since he came to Buffalo in March 2020. “It was a great year, didn’t end well, and I’m trying to keep it going. We’ll see this year. Things might be different. Nothing’s ever the same, so I just control what I can control.”’

Bills training camp 2021: Josh Allen spectacular on Day 2, stuns new teammate Emmanuel Sanders with pass (8 observations)

‘The play came as the Bills were in their second 11-on-11 session of the practice, which was moved indoors because of the rain. Allen waited patiently in the pocket and let Beasley get into his route down the middle of the field and then fit a perfect, blistering spiral in between safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. It hit Beasley in stride and the slot receiver went untouched into the end zone.’

‘It was the media’s first chance to see the newly installed turf inside the facility, complete with blue end zones and a big Bills logo at the 50-yard line. In fact, it’s all made to look and feel exactly like their home field at Highmark Stadium, including using the exact same type of turf.’
