Two Bills Drive

'Entering 2017 with a new offensive coordinator in Rick Dennison, the prospects for Clay to have an even more productive campaign this fall are encouraging. Here’s why…'.

'The rich didn't just get richer. They managed to achieve unparalleled wealth in a system supposedly designed to promote parity.'

'"Shannon (Sharpe), you know, barring any major injury, you can play as long as you want" said Incognito. "And we were just talking about how guys are playing not only longer but they're playing better. And what I think Tom has going right now is he has his complete ecosystem supporting him, and he'll be able to play as long as he wants. He does the nutrition. He does the body work with his guy up there in Boston. He's going all the little things that will enable him to do that guys maybe 10 or 15 years ago didn't know about. So barring a major injury, he keeps playing at a high level like this, he'll play as long as he wants."'

'While Hyde may not be the front-runner, he provides experience and depth. He has just a good shot as the others. Versatility is something that coach McDermott has repeatedly stated as important throughout his time in Buffalo and Hyde is an example of that.'

'Hauschka was integral part of the Seahawks' 13-3 season in 2013, which ended with 43-8 victory against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. He is the Seahawks’ all-time leader in field goals (175) and their No. 2 all-time producer of points (759).'

'Groy started the final seven games of the season for the Bills, filling in for Eric Wood in the middle of the offensive line and playing largely well over that span, particularly in the final two games of the season against tough divisional rivals on the defensive line in the Dolphins and Jets. Groy didn't allow a sack all season, and surrendered just nine total pressures – seven across those final seven games.'

'It wasn't supposed to be this way. When the Bills chose Ragland out of Alabama in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, he was supposed to play alongside Brown as Buffalo's inside linebackers, stepping into the same position in Buffalo that he'd played with the Crimson Tide.'

'“Before every rep where I know it’s a run play called or a pass play where I could get the ball, just in my head I’m thinking, ball security high and tight and put two hands on it in traffic,” said Williams. “That ball is everybody’s money out there. I’ve made a conscious effort to work on my ball positioning.”'

'It's hard to expect immediate improvement with a cornerback pairing of Ronald Darby — who did not play as well last season as he did in his rookie year in 2015 and his transitioning to a new defense — and a rookie, first-round draft pick Tre'Davious White. It's also hard to expect immediate improvement with two new safeties — free-agent acquisitions Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer — who have yet to be starters for a full NFL season and who are also learning a new scheme.'

'"I think it hinders it a little bit, but until you go out there and make a couple mistakes, you got to learn," Kelly said. "Right now, I'm kind of just visualizing everything, pretending like you're calling out the MIKE even in your hotel room every day. You got to pretend like you're out there doing exactly what those other quarterbacks are doing so when you're out there, you can't miss a beat."'

'"Sammy Watkins can't stay healthy, Robert Woods is gone, Zay Jones is a rookie, and Andre Holmes is the definition of meh," said Wagner-McGough. "For as loud as critics of Tyrod Taylor are, critics of the Bills' receiver group should be even louder. The Bills are depending on someone who's appeared in 21 games the past two years and someone who's never played a down of football in the NFL.'

'“I still feel young and the guys here will tell you it’s been hard to cover me and catch me in the practices we’ve had,” McCoy said. “We’ll see that’s something the coaches will have to figure out. With technology today man they’ve got to find a way to make the workloads work.”'

'Alexander was the best story on the team last season. Signed to a one-year contract as a reserve who was only supposed to only help on special teams, he was suddenly pushed into the starting lineup while first-round draft pick Shaq Lawson — now at end — recovered from shoulder surgery.'

'One fan responded to Watkins' tweet telling him that the Bills would win a championship if the receiver could stay healthy. Watkins' response? Buffalo is winning it all regardless of his health in 2017.'

'"We gotta get paid more I'm pretty sure 2014 class will change the market," Watkins tweeted.'
