‘Going into year two, White will be counted on and expected to be the team’s No. 1 CB in most situations, and that’s even with two-time pro bowler Vontae Davis on the other side of him.’

‘The Buffalo Bills have announced how fans can get tickets to the five ticketed training camp practices at St. John Fisher College and one at New Era Field.’

‘“One day when I’m done with football I want to be a director and producer in movies,” McCloud told me after one of his final minicamp practice before heading back to Florida before training camp starts, adding he wants to act, as well. “I’m going to learn how to write scripts word-for-word, but right now I just write how I want my movie to be, planned out and set.”’

‘As current running Bills back LeSean McCoy is under investigation, the Buffalo Bills are looking at potential options in case they need a replacement for the 2018 NFL season. Oliver is looking for a fresh start after struggling the past few seasons. While there are reports that Oliver is going to workout out with Buffalo, nothing has been confirmed just yet.’

‘After digging in and doing the research of how teams who played in the Hall of Fame Game performed in their regular-season opener, since 2011 there has been no quantifiable advantage as far as wins vs. losses. In fact, after going a combined 4-2 on opening weekend from 2012 – 2014, teams who played in the Hall of Fame Game have gone a combined 2-4 since, for an overall record of 6-6.’

‘”There has been so much change, at what point does Josh Allen even see the field? At what point does Sam Darnold see the field? Miami just totally hit the reset button on their locker room. If you keep it in the division, it’s still New England and everyone else.”‘

‘ESPN’s Dianna Russini reported that the Buffalo Bills are aware of the LeSean McCoy allegations and are looking into it.’

‘”Who’s the quarterback, though?” Come on, everyone knows this was going to be the top question surrounding the Bills.’

‘”I asked Brandon Beane: ‘What’s a Buffalo Bills Player?’ That’s when he went into that they research every person that they draft and they don’t want anybody who’s gonna be a distraction, and that’s when he said that Colin Kaepernick would be a distraction.”‘

‘It was just about two o’clock in the afternoon on Halloween, two hours before the NFL trade deadline. Bills’ general manager Brandon Beane’s phone rang. On the other end was Carolina Panthers’ GM Marty Hurney, who wanted to revisit a conversation the two were having just the day before.’

‘“It’s weird, because every year, not that I didn’t expect to get this far, it’s just I look at backs like Frank Gore, there’s not a lot of them,” McCoy said. “There’s not a lot of guys out there. I want to chase that and be one of those guys. I hang out with them in the offseason, a lot of the running backs like the [Todd] Gurleys, and the [Le’Veon] Bells, the way they view me is like the ‘old head baller’. It drives me. It does, because I remember being 25, 24, looking at the older guys, saying ‘I’m going to catch him, I want to be better than him’. Now, it’s like reversed. Now it’s like, ‘okay, I’m still an elite player, but the young guys are creeping on me,’ so I’ve got to continue to do better and do better. Stack my numbers up, stack my wins up. Just make that portfolio of just a baller. A solid career.”’

‘“We have to continue to go through and get to know one another and understand where one another has come from and our backgrounds respectively and build this team, bringing it together. That’ll happen over the course of time as you go through moments like training camp and where we get a chance to get away a little bit in fellowship with one another on and off the field.”‘

‘For the most part, the starters stood on the sidelines for any offense vs. defense work. The second and third-units seemed to get almost all of the reps, although all three quarterbacks rotated again.’

‘This week Allen has received some limited first team reps. McDermott said, “The first thing I look at is his poise and is he handling himself in and out of the huddle the right way, is he getting our offense to the line of scrimmage, making the proper checks and he was able to do some of that and I was impressed from that standpoint and I thought he put the ball in positions for plays to be made at times and then other times, he could’ve put the ball in a better positon, but overall, I thought he handled himself well with room to grow.”’

‘Wednesday there was another new wrinkle. Allen got the first shot with the starters when they opened their offense vs. defense portion of practice, as it started with a red zone session.’
