‘In his 10 seasons prior to joining the Bills, Miller averaged 11 sacks. Needless to say, the Bills need the now 35-year-old to come back strong. That would help offset the loss of Leonard Floyd to free agency. Floyd led the Bills with 10.5 sacks last season.’

‘It was a tough offseason, one that should be likened to taking medicine: It tastes awful, it’s bitter as hell, but the team will be better off for it.’

‘The offense did seem to run the ball a little more after Brady replaced Dorsey, and they definitely got James Cook more touches overall.’

‘Here is what I think of the on-paper version of the Bills this year: They are a playoff team, no question about that. I still think they are the team to beat in the AFC East, but they won’t walk to the title like they did in 2021 and 2022.’

‘Brown has worked with the Bills since 2006, and becomes just the third full-time play-by-play announcer for the team in franchise history. He served as the interim play-by-play man of the Bills late in the 2022 season, and went on to call 24 games in that span – 18 regular season games and four postseason games.’

‘“Just learning, actually learning the playbook and not just what are we doing with that game plan, so I’m still learning. It’s me and coach every morning trying to get that down pat, so it’s good to have a full season here and not just the half that I had here.”’

‘Bills fans will be able to attend all but one of the 11 practices at St. John Fisher University in Rochester. They will also be able to attend the Return of the Blue and Red scrimmage at Highmark Stadium on Friday, August 2nd at 5:30 PM.’

‘Quarterback Josh Allen and many of the regular starters didn’t take any team reps in 11-on-11. Allen wore a headset with a play-calling sheet as offensive coordinator Joe Brady stood on the sidelines watching the unit.’

‘”I missed it a lot. I got drafted as a center originally (in 2019 by the Dallas Cowboys), and then a new coaching staff came in and I got moved to guard. But I always found my way back to center. Every time something happened, I’d play a little bit and then go back to guard. But now that I’m back to center full time, I’m very happy.”‘

‘”Just having him to talk to and communicate to, go through some of the drills with, you know, just his presence is felt,” said Bernard on Tuesday.’

‘Quarterback Josh Allen was on the front end of two of them, including one early-on to K.J. Hamler, and another later to rookie Keon Coleman, who had to win a contested catch against cornerback Rasul Douglas.’

‘The 21-year-old will get a chance this upcoming season to compete for quality playing time along with the likes of Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Chase Claypool and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, among others.’

‘”I wouldn’t call it a complete overhaul of my throwing motion, but definitely some things to work on and clean up, especially with getting long with my arm and with my stride,” said Allen with the assembled media in Orchard Park. “Anytime you go through something like that, sometimes it’s going to feel really good, and sometimes it’s not going to feel really good. But as long as you’re trusting it and keep working on it each and every day, results will come.”‘

‘Milano participated on a limited basis, running through some individual position drills, but did not take part in any of the offense vs. defense team segments.’

‘n are Curtis Samuel, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Chase Claypool, and KJ Hamler. At least two of these wideouts will have to play a significant role for the passing game in 2024, along with returning third-year receiver Khalil Shakir. The others will be fighting for spots on the depth chart and, if they make the team, expected to contribute.’
