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

Bills’ Nyheim Hines hires attorney after season-ending jet ski accident, per report

‘“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.”’

‘Let’s do more’: Bills eager to make statement Monday night against Jets
