‘Get used to hearing the terms “kickoff start line,” “setup zone” and “landing zone.” Get ready to watch the return and coverage units line up 5 yards apart. Get accustomed to skill-position players having to block linebackers, and vice versa. And, hopefully, get fired up to watch big plays instead of the obligatory touchback.’

Bills Mailbag: Why going away for camp is still a priority for Sean McDermott
‘“We believe in going away to camp. We’ve talked about that before, namely, because of a couple of reasons, one of which is for our team to continue to come together and bond and develop that chemistry that you’re going to need, that we’re going to need. Then not only get ourselves into football shape, but also build that key element of toughness that we need. It’s hard to reinvent that, if you will, in October, if you’re not winning the line of scrimmage, and so we’ve got to get that done here and help that carry us forward into the season.”’

The extension of Tagovailoa needs to serve as a reminder that defensive standards cannot be lax in hopes of maintaining their success within the division.’
Damar Hamlin highlights Bills cut candidates ahead of 2024 season
‘The Bills have multiple new safeties in the building. After Jordan Poyer was released and with Micah Hyde not being brought back, Buffalo signed Mike Edwards from Kansas City and drafted Cole Bishop out of Utah. They also re-signed Taylor Rapp, and signed Dee Delaney from the Buccaneers. Hamlin only appeared in five games a season ago. And even then, he was only on the field for 17 defensive snaps. Hamlin will likely duke it out with Delaney for a roster spot, and I’d expect Delaney to win that battle.’

Curtis Samuel is getting comfortable in the Bills offense
‘“It’s just a trust thing,” Samuel said. “Me and Joe have been together before, and if you see how he used me there, you’ve kind of got an idea… I put all my trust in him to put me in the right spots, in the right position to succeed in this offense.”’
