Mark Gaughan: Brace yourselves, Bills O-line, the murderer’s row of D-lines awaits

‘Next week, Miami arrives with Christian Wilkins, who Pro Football Focus ranks as the eighth best defensive tackle in the NFL, plus defensive ends Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips. After that, it’s Jacksonville Pro Bowl edge rusher Josh Allen, followed by the Giants’ elite defensive tackle duo of Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams, both in the top 12 at their position. New England has inside-outside studs in Christian Barmore and Matthew Judon. Ditto for Tampa Bay with Vita Vea and Shaq Barrett.’

Rod Watson: Bills stadium project could use more frequent – and more public – diversity reports

‘For instance, she said, after a meeting of community stakeholders, Gilbane/Turner agreed to solicit local firms to do community outreach and compliance work, and she said local companies have reported being interviewed by the management team after responding to those requests for proposals. The fact that an out-of-town firm was hired to do outreach has been a sore point with both Baskin and local companies – and one that could have, and should have, been avoided in the first place. This move could help rectify that mistake.’

Raiders’ Davante Adams blasts Buffalo Bills safety for ‘unnecessary’ hit in blow out loss

‘“Was it unnecessary? Completely. Obviously,” Adams told reporters. “And depending on how you look at it – certain players play a certain way too. Some people (are) out of control. They fly around. They don’t really have much true purpose out there. Playing a half field on one side and you run over and hit somebody in the head on the other side of the field.”’

Four players miss Wednesday’s Bills practice; Allen honored as AFC OPOW

‘Before practice, head coach Sean McDermott revealed that safety Micah Hyde (hamstring), edge rusher Leonard Floyd (ankle), tight end Dawson Knox (back) and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (illness) would all be held out of Wednesday’s session. However, all but Phillips appeared on the practice field, albeit as non-participants. Hyde was sporting a wrap on his leg while jogging from drill to drill during positional work, Floyd spent some time with his fellow defensive linemen, and Knox worked on the exercise bike.’

Davante Adams slams Bills’ Taylor Rapp for helmet-to-helmet hit: ‘Out of control

‘“Was it unnecessary? Completely, obviously,” Adams said, according to ESPN. “But, certain players play a certain way, too. Some people, out of control, they fly around, they don’t really have much true purpose out there. I mean, playing a half field on one side, you run over and hit somebody in the head on the other side of the field.”‘

Davante Adams criticizes ‘out of control’ safety Taylor Rapp

‘”That’s the kind of stuff that contributes to you not being on the field. That’s why you’re in when you’re blowing us out by 25 at the end of the game. Maybe if that man learns how to play the game the right way, he’ll see the field. Until then, he’ll have to go and live off of plays like that, I guess.”‘
