Leslie Frazier impressed with rookie cornerbacks

‘”For the most part, their eyes were where they needed to be in zone. So we were pleased with their first outing and now with the practices that we have remaining along with the two preseason games, we have to allow them to grow and develop and we have to keep putting them out there and putting them in different situations to see how they respond. Even though you are doing good things now, just know there is a big bullseye on a rookie corners chest, there are more things thrown at you, we are trying to throw more things at them this time of year but there is nothing like being in game situations.”‘

Towering Bills rookie Luke Tenuta making his athletic family proud

‘“I thought it was the coolest thing- getting to hang out at the facility at a young age, going to bowl games, going to practice, talking to all the players,” said Tenuta. “Just getting around those guys I was like ‘I can not wait to be a football player,’ that was my goal when I grow up.”’

Bills rookie LBs helping each other succeed

‘“It all jumped on us so quick in the spring. We were like, ‘All right. To get this, we’re gonna have to work together and share what we know’,” Spector said. “It came along pretty quick.”’

Leslie Frazier: Bills rookie corners Elam and Benford progressing well

‘“When they had opportunities to make plays, they made plays. They were physical, they got their hands on balls, they were good in man coverage. For the most part, their eyes were where they should have been in zone. We were pleased with their first outing,” said Frazier.’

Strong showing against Colts boosts rookie Baylon Spector in Bills’ linebacker competition

‘“There are a lot of things I can correct, a lot of little, small things, details, alignments that I got to get better at,” Spector said. “Just an opportunity to get better at and just understanding better situations, things scheme-wise, like knowing who’s around me, knowing where my help is and understanding just the small details of the defense and going out there and executing that. Doing it out here in practice and doing it again next time I get the opportunity to play.”’

Editorial Board: Sheriff’s Office should clear up issues regarding security details for Bills and Sabres games

‘The answer to the latter question appears to be: poorly. The Erie County Sheriff’s Office provides security for games of both the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres, as well as other events at those facilities. For taxpayers, it’s supposed to be a wash, as Pegula Sports & Entertainment reimburses the county for the expense. But there’s a mystery: No one seems to know how the county bills for the expense or how it receives payment. It’s a poor way to do business, especially regarding something as high profile as games by the Bills and Sabres.’

Bills’ Zack Moss makes case for roster spot with physical performance against Colts

‘Moss’ roster spot felt like it was somewhat tenuous heading into training camp. Devin Singletary is the No. 1 back, the team drafted James Cook in the second round to be a contributor in the passing game, Duke Johnson was signed in free agency, and Taiwan Jones, though he doesn’t factor into the offense, is likely a lock as a core special teamer.’

Bills get three players back at practice

‘Linebacker Tyrel Dodson, wide receiver Tavon Austin, and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones all returned to action after missing the team’s previous practice on Sunday.’

In-depth: How high are expectations for 2022 Bills among Bills Legends?

‘”You talk to reporters and fans, [they say] Super Bowl or bust. I look at it as take one thing at a time, and as a player, if you’ve ever played the game, you’d understand that,” said Kelly just before tee time at Terry Hills. “The biggest key, I think we all know this and it’s probably no cliche now, but it’s just staying healthy. We’ve got to keep our star players healthy. I’ve already had a good talk with [offensive coordinator] Ken Dorsey, he was one of my speakers at my Football Camp. I said, ‘The only thing I’ve got to say, bud, is limit the amount of called plays for Josh [Allen] to run!’ I get the scrambling, but I don’t want to see him 8-10 times on a keeper that was put in from sidelines. No, we don’t need all that.”‘

Sullivan: Dorsey’s task is to take Bills’ great offense to an even higher level

‘The word around the league is that no coach/QB tandem has a higher bar and pressure this season than Dorsey and Allen. Expectations are soaring in Buffalo. Daboll is a tough act to follow. Fans and media have short memories. Much of the preseason hype around the Bills, while warranted, is based on the two playoff games, forgetting that the passing game actually fell off some from 2020.’
