‘”Everything,” Talley said. “You’ve got to think about what he taught us. He made us think every day, he taught us how to live and he’d say ‘Look, it’s not going to be easy all the time, but you’ve got to be willing to do the work.”‘

‘”I know this is an incredible fanbase — the best fans in the NFL,” Harris said. “I’m glad to have them cheering for me instead of against me now.”‘

‘”We don’t have to be your favorite, but we’re going to be our favorite,” he said.’

‘”I’m not afraid to say that it crosses my mind, being a little scared here and there,” Hamlin said. “But my strength is rooted in my faith, and my faith is stronger than any fear.”‘

‘”Awareness is important,” he said. “You’ve got X amount of guys out here, and then we had Damar in there as well — we’re trying to make it as normal as possible, but also understanding it may not be quite as normal as we want it to be because of the past. So like I said before, we’re going to support him through this, and up to this point, he’s done a phenomenal job just taking it one day at a time.”‘

‘”He’s very smart, he’s instinctive, he’s got a good feel out there,” said Josh Allen. “He’s fun to throw to — I’ll tell you that.”‘

‘He was impressed by the defense, smiling still seeing Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde together, and he thinks Sean McDermott can handle being both head coach and defensive coordinator this season.’

‘”Young guys probably think at times that I’m kind of a psycho, because those years have passed and I don’t have time to just give away games, give away playoff games and come up short,” Hyde said. “The older guys understand that we got to get it now, and there’s not too many opportunities left.”‘

‘What’s really cool to see is when the players have their kids on the field with them. Micah Hyde was out there with his two children and his wife, taking in some moments right after practice.’

‘”It’s hot, but it’s [never] too hot to cheer for the Bills,” said Costa Vlahavas, a season ticketholder.’

‘”A little more trash talk because we know he’s calling it,” tight end Dawson Knox said. “Last night, he’s walking over to the offensive walk-through and I’m like, ‘Hold on now, you can’t be over here. You can’t be seeing our plays right now.’ But obviously it’s all fun and games, and he does a great job spending time on both sides. We’re super excited to see what he does with the defense.”‘

‘”It really messes with your head,” Davis said. “You’re trying to play to the level that you know you can play at, but at the end of the day your body’s kind of just not letting you.”‘

‘”My mom took me to stores and I would stand in line for autographs,” Learch said. “That’s what I would do, and I would come here for training camp and that’s how I got some of the autographs over the years. It’s been 30 years.”‘
