Bills linebacker Baylon Spector knows he must shake off ‘injury prone’ label
‘“That’s just part of playing the game, but that’s definitely been one of my things during the whole year last year, just trying to focus on finding the right routine for me,” he told The Buffalo News in the spring about trying to stay out of the trainer’s room. There is “some extra stuff that I’ve got to do off the field when I’m not in the building, just to keep my body in that kind of ‘prehab’ mode and activation, and then really just focusing on dialing in the details, some areas that I might be lacking in so I cannot keep having these soft-tissue injuries.”’
Bills position preview: Return of Matt Milano strengthens linebacking corps
‘“Credit to Matt and what he’s been able to do with our training staff and the work he’s put in,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said during mandatory minicamp last month. “He’s so focused. He was focused before this. I feel like he’s even more focused, if that’s even possible now, in wanting to get back out there for himself, but also for his teammates.’
Bills Training Camp Primer: How much do Josh Allen’s interceptions really affect the Bills?
‘In games Allen throws one interception, the outcome doesn’t change drastically from the game he throws none.’
NFL Executive lists Bills’ Josh Allen as league’s best quarterback
‘“Allen’s blend of brilliance and inconsistency has left voters with mixed feelings,” Fowler wrote. “He received the only first-place vote that didn’t go to Mahomes — yet was outside of the top five for several voters. He is Mahomes’ neighbor in style of play but lives on a different street of accomplishment. He’s been in the top five for four consecutive seasons but hasn’t cracked the top two. Most agree Allen should have played in at least one AFC title game by now.”’
Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers to hold joint practice at Acrisure Stadium
‘he Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers will hold a joint practice at Acrisure Stadium on August 15 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. It will be closed to the public.’
Babich, Brady set for first training camp as Bills coordinators
‘A lot of the talk through OTAs and minicamp was that Brady’s doing more tweaking than full-scale changing the offense to cater to what he likes to do. Again, until things get real in September, we won’t see his full toolbox, but I’d imagine if they’re going to be different, we’ll see some of that through the preseason.’
Bills camp preview: Allen may need style adjustment
‘If the Bills truly embrace the ‘we don’t need a wide receiver one’ build, Allen likely needs more point guard-esque distribution and less hero ball.’
After two years of interest, Bills and DeShawn Williams strike a deal
‘“I made sure, talking to (general manager Brandon) Beane and (head coach Sean) McDermott, I couldn’t miss the second go-around,” Williams said. “I told them when I first came in for Phase 1 (of offseason workouts), ‘I see why y’all win.’’
Bills position preview: Defensive tackle depth chart undergoes a makeover
‘It will be on West to get the most out of a defensive line that has underachieved in each of the last two playoff losses. Partially because of those performances, the Bills swapped out veterans Jordan Phillips and Tim Settle at defensive tackle, electing not to re-sign either player in free agency.’
The Editorial Board: Committee overseeing Bills-related community benefits must do better
‘While it’s true that the Bills have the final say over any allocations, this was envisioned as a consensus-driven process, made in consultation with a Community Benefit Oversight Committee and within the framework of key priorities such as mental health, higher education, reducing food insecurity, and anti-violence initiatives. Meetings of the oversight committee are subject to open meeting laws, but there has been little public participation so far.’
Gable Steveson aims for success at Bills training camp
‘There are zero expectations for Steveson to hit the ground running at St. John Fisher University and push to make the team, at least on the outside. He’s made it clear he’s not doing this for show. It’s to succeed. It’s to make the team. It’s to play.’
‘I chose not to fold’: Bills’ Hamler leans on positive mindset to deal with adversity
‘If the Bills keep five receivers, Hamler is a mega long shot; if they keep six receivers and need help in the return game, Hamler is simply a long shot. Above all, he wants the Bills and the league to see The Healthy KJ.’
Bills position preview: Minus Diggs, Davis, Bills look to committee of receivers to produce
‘What to expect: Balance. Last season, Diggs (107), Davis (45), Shakir (39), Harty (15) and Sherfield (11) combined for 217 catches. If the passing game goes through second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid, no receiver will approach 100 catches. But expect the Bills to prioritize versatility, both in terms of where Brady can line them up and routes he can draw up.’
Bills mailbag: Assessing Jack Kemp’s worthiness as a Hall of Fame candidate
‘My opinion is Kemp is in the “Hall of Great,” but is not a Hall of Famer. My biggest reason is Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame sportswriter Larry Felser never strongly advocated for Kemp to be enshrined. Felser liked and greatly respected Kemp, but didn’t think he quite made the grade. Felser’s mission was to get guard Billy Shaw elected, which happened in 1999.’
