‘“I’ve never tried to be another person,” Dodson said. “I know I can do whatever Matt could do, Matt can do whatever I do. It’s just working off each other and just studying and film and just just being in place at the right time.”’

Giants’ Isaiah Hodgins returning to Buffalo with ‘chip on my shoulder’
‘“They drafted me into the league, gave me opportunities and kept me around the building, which I was thankful for,” Hodgins said. “But they also cut me a couple times. So I’m going back there with a swagger and determination to do everything I can to show them the player that I am.””

Can banged-up Bills defense hold the line with Tre’Davious White, Matt Milano sidelined?
‘But beginning with Tre’Davious White’s Achilles tear in Week 3, the Bills have been hit with a spate of bad lack, and it could have a dramatic effect on their defense the rest of the way. With White already out, Buffalo also lost linebacker Matt Milano and defensive lineman DaQuan Jones to injured reserve. Milano and White might be the two best players in Buffalo’s back seven, and Jones is a valuable rotational defensive lineman.’
McDermott readies for return of Daboll, Taylor on Sunday
‘”Brian and I knew each other back when he was coaching at William and Mary in [Virginia]. That’s where we first got introduced to one another and stayed in touch from that point on,” said McDermott on Friday during his visit on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “Obviously he grew under Bill Belichick, I grew and under Andy Reid. Two good foundations from which to grow from, and Brian’s a good coach. We’re happy for him and happy for [general manager] Joe Schoen, as well. They’ve earned those jobs.”‘
Bills injury report vs. Giants | Week 6 SNF
‘The good news for the Bills is that DE Greg Rousseau, CB Christian Benford and DE Shaq Lawson are all off the injury report and are expected to play Sunday.’
Inside the Bills: Stefon Diggs is a ‘little mysterious,’ and he wants it that way
‘“No doubt,” Allen said. “He’s a captain for a reason. When you look at the sidelines of guys that are talking and making sure everybody’s ready to go, for better or worse he’s up in guys’ faces and he’s making sure we have as much juice as we need and he supplies that to our offense – especially in times we need it. He doesn’t get the burn he deserves there. Frankly, it kind of ticks me off when people want to say stuff about him, but we’ll keep that all internal here.”’
PlayAction: Buffalo Bills bracing for Wink Martindale’s Giants blitz package
‘We know what Martindale prefers. His Giants defense ranked No. 1 in the NFL in blitz rate last season. He coordinated the Baltimore Ravens defense from 2018 through 2021. The Ravens ranked first in blitz rate three years in a row, from ’18 to ’20, then ranked ninth in ’21, according to Football Outsiders.’

Ryan O’Halloran: Hey, Terry Pegula, follow this plan point by point in search for new Bills, Sabres leadership
‘Pegula should hire two people and give them the COO titles parallel with general managers Brandon Beane (Bills) and Kevyn Adams (Sabres), meaning they only report to Pegula.’
How we see it: News’ staff picks for Bills-Giants
‘It’s time for the Bills to re-ignite their running game after gaining only 29 yards (fewest in the Sean McDermott Era) against Jacksonville; the Giants rank 30th stopping the run (151.4 yards per game). Throw to take the lead and then take the air of the football by running it to keep their patched-together defense out of harm’s way.’

From not making HS team to Bills’ next man up, Ja’Marcus Ingram is the ultimate underdog
‘“Yeah, it was a journey, it was a journey,” Ingram said Wednesday following Buffalo’s walk-through practice. “But that’s pretty much been the story of my life, really, just kind of waiting my turn and then when I get the opportunity, capitalize on it and just make the best of it.”’
Traveling new paths, Josh Allen and Brian Daboll have friendship that transcends Bills football
‘“When you’re with people for four years, you experience a lot of highs, a lot of lows, there’s a lot of emotions, and you lean on one another both in good times and bad,” Daboll said during a conference call Wednesday. “… (The Bills) were a very important part of my life for four years. And you develop relationships. I got a lot of respect for all the people in that building, staff, coaches, executives, players, because you go through a year in the NFL, you go through a lot of stuff. … For me, it was four years. I’ve leaned a lot on those guys. I’m always there for them. I know they’re there for me.”’
Jackson (foot) absent from Bills practice for second straight day, Rousseau, Benford, Lawson participate; Other injury updates from Thursday
‘Another note: Benford, who donned a red non-contact jersey throughout last week before missing Sunday’s game, was out of the non-contact jersey and this week, as opposed to last week, when presented with an opportunity to throw a football, he did so with his normal throwing arm — his right. Last week, while nursing his shoulder injury, he threw the ball with his left arm. A positive sign, indeed.’
