‘The two had connected plenty of times over the first couple of sessions at St. John Fisher, but they took it to a different level on Friday.’

‘”When it first happened, I didn’t know what the outcome was going to be. I thought I was done,” said Hyde during his meeting with the media on Friday. “But I had a conversation with the doctor a couple of weeks ago, and the realization that it’s way better.”‘

‘According to Bills general manager Brandon Beane during an appearance on the “Jeremy White Show” on Friday, Dantzler tweak his hamstring in one of the opening practices of training camp that will be more than a minor issue.’

‘”As a military guy, I got real good at ‘tell me what the rules are and I’ll live by the rules’ so the league has put this rule in place and very good intent behind the rule, so it’s my job to figure out what’s the best way to follow the rule to the benefit of the Buffalo Bills.” Smiley said.’

‘”I think he showed that late in the season as he gained confidence, understood the pro game,” said Beane during an appearance on the “Jeremy White Show” on Friday from Bills training camp. “With him back there, he is a three-down back. We see him, he and Damien Harris probably competing right now to start.”‘

‘”I feel like hurting my ankle the way that I did, it was probably the worst one out of all of them just cause I had to miss a game,” said Davis in his meeting with the media on Thursday.’

‘On the second day of Buffalo Bills training camp here at St. John Fisher University, Terrel Bernard got his shot at middle linebacker with the first-team defense and Christian Benford got time cornerback with the first defense, opposite Tre’Davious White.’

‘”It was not an easy situation but I thought the players handled it extremely well, they came to work every week and competed, and that’s all you can ask for.” McDermott said.’

‘If there was any doubt still remaining before Wednesday morning, Diggs crushed it by early afternoon.’

‘”‘Stef’ just wants to win. Nothing wrong with that,” said Beane in his comments during his meeting with the media at training camp on Wednesday, “We all do it in different ways. ‘Stef’ is in a good spot, the offseason is the offseason, and we’re all going separate ways, especially players. That last game ends, you don’t get to go back and review the film with everyone and see what happened… it’s tough.”‘

‘This season for the Bills will, once again, be filled with higher expectations, even after Buffalo’s loss in the AFC Divisional Round this past January against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the competition in the AFC, especially the division, continues to get more challenging.’

‘”For me to just want more say in offense is crazy, because I play receiver. I don’t care what play is called, I can’t get in there and say, ‘Call this!’ It’s a lot of outlandish things people were throwing out there,” Diggs said. “People were saying, as far as like my role, I’ve been a captain on this team for three years. There’s no question about my role and who I am as a player, how hard I work. Those things never had question marks, and you can’t say the same thing for a lot of people in the league. As a player, who I am and what I am has always been represented. And what I do on a consistent basis, how hard I work, you can see it.”‘

‘Hamlin, who did participate on a limited basis during mandatory minicamp last month, is a “full-go” for training camp, according to head coach Sean McDermott.’

‘In an over 20-minute media session, the receiver was fully transparent, open, and honest discussing his feelings about how last season ended and the offseason began way back at mandatory minicamp.’

‘At this time, it’s unclear what Matakevich is dealing with.’
