‘“Competitive, man,” Cook said of their relationship. “I think that’s what got us to the level we’re at. Just being competitive no matter what we did. I don’t care what level of intensity it was, we was just a competitive group of human beings that wanted to see each other succeed at a high level. I think that’s what pushed us to where we’re at.”’

Jets Injury Report | Week 1 vs. Bills – Thursday (NewYorkJets.com)
Nyheim Hines threatens legal action over season-ending jet ski accident
‘“The reckless operator was cited by authorities as causing the accident. Nyheim, who has his boating license and was likely traveling at about 10 miles per hour was not cited and has engaged my office to hold the necessary parties accountable for ending his season and costing him potentially many millions of dollars.”‘
Bills coach Sean McDermott feels invigorated in doubling up as defensive coordinator
‘“Guys like it. When he says he puts on his head coaching hat and his DC hat, there’s a difference. You can actually see it,” Phillips added. “I’m not going to get into any details, but he’s a little more colorful when he’s in the defensive room.”’
Rodgers’ debut and Hamlin’s return highlight Monday night showdown between Jets and Bills
‘“Just incredible, amazing,” coach Sean McDermott said of Hamlin’s return. “All the words, adjectives you’d use to describe something as unique as what he’s been through.”’
Bills’ Nyheim Hines hires attorney after season-ending jet ski accident, per report
‘The veteran was acquired by the Bills at last year’s in-season trade deadline and was expected to at least serve as the team’s top kick and punt returner. A former change-of-pace back with the Colts, he would’ve also offered experience as a secondary pass catcher.’
Diggs, McDermott look at opening week in unique ways
‘Diggs says you have the tape from last year and you know what you’re probably going to get, but you never know.’
McDermott entering season with new perspective as HC/DC
‘“When you’re just strictly on one side of the ball, you don’t get a chance to get exposed to that knowledge, that wisdom, and it helps you when you cross-train a little bit,” McDermott said. “I remember Andy Reid always did a good job with that in my first job in Philadelphia. In the offseason, he would have us clinic each other — offensive staff clinic the defensive staff and vice versa.”’
Nyheim Hines to pursue legal action after jet ski accident
‘His lawyer said on Thursday that Hines was “struck by a recklessly operating jet-skier” who was traveling at “potentially” 40 MPH and “in violation of North Carolina’s minimum watercraft education training requirements.”’
Hyde declares himself ‘ready to play’ for Bills season opener vs. Jets
‘Hyde went on to say that he feels great and that the back soreness that he has been experiencing the last couple of days is fully under control.’
The Bills’ schedule features plenty of Western New York connections
‘For starters, the Buffalo Bills have two University at Buffalo products on their payroll: cornerbacks Cam Lewis and Ja’Marcus Ingram. But there many other people — players, coaches, and general managers — who are connected to the region, and who will be on the other sideline, competing against the Bills this season.’
‘Let’s do more’: Bills eager to make statement Monday night against Jets
‘”Everybody out there is eager,” Stefon Diggs said. “Everybody out there misses football. It’s their first time competing at a high level and it matters.”‘
Hyde pops up on injury report, says he’s going to be ready for Monday night
‘”I’m just super excited to get back out there and give it a go,” he said. “I missed a lot of games last year, and went through training camp pretty healthy, so to wake up and feel a little soreness the other day was not ideal. But I did a little more today and I’m going to be ready for Monday night.”‘
‘Speaking the same language’ | Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer and Tre’Davious White in sync as trio reunite in Bills’ secondary
‘”I’m just super excited,” Hyde said after practice Thursday. “Super excited to get back out there and give it a go. You know, missed a lot of games last year then working my way through training camp pretty healthy, to wake up and feel a little soreness the other day was not ideal, but like I said, a little more today and I’m gonna be ready for Monday night.”‘
Terrel Bernard, O’Cyrus Torrence and Christian Benford on the work ethic to become a starter
‘Bernard unfortunately didn’t get a chance to showcase his skillset during preseason games as the LB was out with a hamstring injury for the last part of training camp. Although, McDermott thought he did enough at the start of camp to win the job.’
