Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s leadership continues to hit new levels

‘“I think our team and our organization handled that with the community, in heart and in mind, so, for us to do that, I was proud of our turnout,” Allen said Tuesday following practice. “For guys like Stefon Diggs, who really hadn’t been here up until this point for OTAs, (to) fly in just for that day, and then fly out, just because it meant that much to him. So, in terms of guys showing up and doing what was right, it was very good to see. It’s not just one thing that we’re going to do and forget about. We got to continue to bring them up, keep them in our thoughts and prayers and understand that it’s going to take time to get through it.”’

OTA Observations: Jordan Poyer absent, Gabe Davis goes deep and hands are thrown

‘There’s no disputing Poyer’s value to the Bills’ defense or his consistently outstanding contributions over his past five seasons in Buffalo. Star safety Tyrann Mathieu, who turns 30 next week, recently signed for three years and $33 million with New Orleans, according to ESPN. It included $18 million guaranteed. Mathieu is a three-time All-Pro and a three-time Pro Bowler.’

‘“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous,” Allen said Tuesday regarding his upcoming participation in The Match, the made-for-television golf competition where he and fellow young gun Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs will be playing head-to-head against gray beards Tom Brady of the Buccaneers and Aaron Rodgers of the Packers.’

‘The play started on a routine throw from Allen to Stefon Diggs. Dane Jackson was in coverage and Jaquan Johnson was in the area. The play ended with a physical exchange and then Diggs and Johnson seemed to do some shoving at the end of the play. Siran Neal got involved by shoving somebody, and before long second-year cornerback Oliajah Griffin needed to be restrained as it looked like he was arguing with another member of the defense.’

Josh Allen back at it with teammates at OTAs

‘”It’s been different. The last three years I’ve had him in the meeting rooms every day (as the quarterbacks coach), and it’s going to take time,” Allen said. “I wanted to hear him talking to me in the headset just to hear his voice, because that’s going to be an adjustment. But in terms of what he’s doing, and how he’s communicating with the guys and getting on guys and lighting some fires, it’s been good to see.”’

Von Miller making presence felt for the Buffalo Bills during OTAs

‘“He’s a two-time Super Bowl champion. You all know his resume,” second-year defensive end Greg Rousseau said on Tuesday. “But yeah, it was great, he’s really helped us already. It was his first day out with us in OTAs and I already learned some good nuggets from him.”’

‘”I think that chemistry is big, you know, chemistry of just getting to know one another,” said McDermott. “Building that trust that A, that needs to be there because there are new pieces to it as well as the coach player relationship among the the new pieces that we have in the coaching staff as well. So all of that is is important that that gelling of the team this time of year and it’ll continue on through training camp. And then we do have some new players that really need to get up to speed on our system.”‘
