Guelli happy to see Bills training camp evolve in Rochester after helping bring team to St. John Fisher

‘It was a competitive process, we were looking for the best location to have camp. As you can see, this is an incredible place, and Fisher jumped up on the map pretty quickly as the destination,” Guelli said. “Started working with the college, started working with people in the town, and we we’re able to put something together. Even that Year 1, we knew it was going to be a success, the way people turned out, the way they reacted to it. And Rochester is a critical market for us, so it’s always going to be important. To put a stake in the ground in the city with an event like training camp is very important.”‘

4 takeaways from Bills camp: Sorting receivers, safety shuffle, good health

‘“It’s kind of like you open the door to your silverware drawer at home and you’re like, OK tell me what this does,” McDermott said before the first practice of camp. “We don’t really know what we have. But we know what we have. And it’s interesting to see they’re a very diverse group. I know a lot of people talk about we don’t have a true No. 1 and this and that. I think these guys will rise to the occasion.”’

Bills celebrating their successes at training camp

‘“You’re scoring some touchdowns, and you see James Cook on a passing touchdown and James Cook, Dion [Dawkins], Josh [Allen]” said Brady. That speaks so loudly to me seeing those guys celebrate and have fun.”’

‘Everyone eats’: Bills offensive coordinator emphasizing teamwork as key to success

‘”Football is hard,” Brady said Thursday. “You can be the best offense in the NFL, going against the 32nd-ranked team, and it’s still going to be hard to score. That’s just the reality of it. This is the NFL, and when you score touchdowns, it’s not just one person scoring that touchdown. It took a whole drive, and it took 11 people. Part of what I’m trying to emphasize and coach McDermott is trying to emphasize is we have a lot of new guys, but us doing it all together. If we really emphasize that ‘Everyone eats’ mindset, you can see when people score, we celebrate together.”‘

‘Wow this fan base is different’ | How Bills Mafia has impressed COO Pete Guelli at training camp

‘”When I first got involved in the project back then, I thought it was an amazing idea,” Guelli, the Rochester native, said. “It was really cool bringing your NFL team to your hometown. And so, I didn’t think it could get better until I came back. Being away for 15 years and seeing how the camp still stands up, and they’ve made it even better for the fans and football. It’s really gratifying to know we worked on this. Now, I get to be part of it again.”‘

Ryan O’Halloran: Bills’ best hope? Combining Same Ol’ Josh with New Josh

‘Same Ol’ Josh: He celebrated every touchdown, even the ones he wasn’t involved in. He extended plays and threw darts to the end zone. This is a dude who remains full of energy and joy. New Josh: He offered encouragement and pointers to receivers of all experience levels. Not that he didn’t do it before, but the uptick in his vocal engagement was clear. This is a dude who is making no assumptions about a route, shift or motion.’

Josh Allen overrated? Bills GM frustrated by recent criticism, defends QB at camp

‘“It’s frustrating,” Beane continued. “You try to ignore this stuff. Josh is going into year seven and there’s still the naysayers. I don’t get it. If I was gonna use rated, I would say underrated before I say overrated. And I know I’m biased, he’s our guy and we love him every single day. These things that come out, I know that people love the rankings of whoever but when you don’t put your name to it and you make comments like that, like who is this executive? Executive is a loose term.”’
