‘”I think the most important thing is to embrace the pressure and expectations,” said Dorsey Howard Simon and Jeremy White on WGR. “I also think it’s important to manage those expectations and realize that every year is a new year. You’re not going to be able to pick up right where you left off, the goal is to just get better and better each year.”‘

Listen:McDermott: It’s good to be in pads
‘On a growing number of p;layers on the injury list, McDermott reiterated how important it is to be available. “I’m always concerned whenever a guy misses. It’s missed reps and in this case availability and unavailability creates a challenge for new players developing a rapport.”’
Josh Allen involved in skirmish on first day of pads
‘Not much came of it after that but it was very notable because you don’t often see a quarterback involved in something like that at training camp since they aren’t allowed to be hit, and especially don’t see QBs actually initiating the first shove.’
Listen: McKenzie: I want to prove I’m an every down receiver
‘Coming into camp this year, McKenzie came in with his own expectations. “I wanted to prove I could be an every down receiver, not just a gadget guy, you know, get a play here and there and get out.”’

‘Jaquan Johnson took some of the reps in Hyde’s place, but Damar Hamlin and Josh Johnson also got their share of reps. In fact, Hamlin came up with an interception of quarterback Case Keenum during 11-on-11.’
Allen, offense light it up in red zone
‘The team was mostly in the red zone, when it came to offense against defense and 11-on-11, and Allen was absolutely dialed in from the start and throughout, hitting touchdown after touchdown to various receivers.’
Listen: Allen: We have to try to get everyone’s skill set on field
‘“Everyone’s got their own skill set, and we have to figure out how to get them on the field,” said fifth-year signal caller. “There’s only one ball to go around, and only five skill position guys can be on the field at a time.”’

Diggs, Shakir shine on offense; McCloud, Lewis step up defensively
‘The defense had a few of the bigger plays early on, including several interceptions. Quarterback Josh Allen threw two of them, with one of them coming on a clear miscommunication with his wideouts. That allowed cornerback Dane Jackson to make an easy play on the ball. The next came when safety Jordan Poyer read the play perfectly and was able to get in position to step in front of a pass that looked to be floated just a little bit.’
Poyer shows up to camp, White placed on PUP
‘Not only was Poyer here, but so was his agent Drew Rosenhaus. After practice, Poyer told the media that not showing up for camp was never something he considered, and that Rosenhaus and Bills general manager Brandon Beane are “talking things out” as far as his contractual situation.’
Bills report to training camp at St. John Fisher University

He said, “I think Ed’s matured a lot and I think that’s what helped his game the most, I mean everybody has always known he was going to be a top guy, and now his maturity with the way he plays and the way he understands the game is what’s helped him. Talent has never been an issue.”’
