Bills training camp questions: How will pass rush compensate for Von Miller’s potential late start?

‘“Goals are different now,” Miller said. “I want to be here for my team when they need me the most. And I felt like late in (last) season, when (things) really got tough, I wasn’t able to be there because I was injured. So, the most important thing for me is just to be available when my team really needs me. If that’s Week 1, then I’ll be happy for that, if that’s Week 6, I’ll be happy for that. But I guarantee you, it won’t be any later than that.”’

Josh Allen says Stefon Diggs rift during Bills offseason was blown out of proportion

‘”The media has blown this so far out of proportion. We are in rookie or minicamp. We’re not playing a game for four months. He doesn’t show up for one day. He’s still there. Coach asked him to go home. They’re in talks. They’re trying to resolve some things. It wasn’t anything major. And (the) media blew it up. They’re still talking about it. Let it go. There’s no reason to continue talking about it.”‘

‘”I love him,” Allen said of his relationship with Diggs on the Barstool Network. “That’s my guy. Like, what, the media has blown this so far out of proportion. Like we are in rookie or minicamp. We’re not playing a game for four months. He doesn’t show up one day. He’s still there. Coach asked him to go home, we’re in talks, and discussions trying to resolve some things. And it wasn’t anything major. And they just blew it up. And they’re still talking about it!”‘

Bills training camp questions: How will Taylor Rapp fit into the defense?

‘That versatility offers an intriguing chess piece for the Bills’ defense, which has a loaded secondary on paper. In addition to Hyde and Poyer, cornerback Tre’Davious White should be back to full strength almost two years after knee surgery, and nickel cornerback Taron Johnson is one of the best in the NFL at his position. Rapp just adds to what looks like a very strong group.’

Bills training camp questions: Who emerges at critical slot wide receiver position?

‘There are three top candidates. Second-year man Khalil Shakir, who played 50% of his snaps as a rookie in the slot. Shakir had 12 of his 15 total catches from the slot, counting playoffs. Free-agent signee Deonte Harty from New Orleans, who’s 4.39-second speed in the 40-yard dash makes him a run-after-the-catch threat. (That was an unofficial time from his pro day.) Harty had 36 catches for 570 yards for the Saints in 2021, a big 15.8-yard average. He played 35% of his snaps from the slot that year and had 16 of his catches from the slot. Sixth-year veteran Trent Sherfield, a free-agent signee from Miami. He had 30 catches for 417 yards for the Dolphins last year. He played 50% of his snaps in the slot and had 13 catches from the slot.’

Damar Hamlin helps teach Yankees CPR class six months after on-field cardiac arrest

‘”For them to take the time out in the middle of their stretch, to come out here and learn CPR, people seeing figures like them in the community, everyone looks up to the Yankees,” Hamlin told reporters after class was dismissed. “They’re such a staple in history. For people getting to see them come out here and learn CPR, it will have a big trickle effect to the rest of the world that want to get trained.”‘
