what gives you this impression? He (and his wife) seem to have embraced this team with open arms. Glad we have depth on the O-line this season, but these injuries are definitely putting that to the test.

HBO will cry if he is sidelined throughout the entire Hard Knocks season.

Our RB's will be a strength this year.

I am so happy he has finally made this decision! Now I can sleep at night again. The Ravens will be happy to have him represent them in the Hall of Average.

How would the lawyer react if Brown didn't pay him for HIS services? Such a hypocritical profession.

Really? I feel better about Allen than I have felt about any Bills QB since Kelly. (I will admit the bar was pretty low)

Decent interview but didn't say a lot Said game slowing down a lot for him this year They asked if he would blitz more this year but he deflected and wouldn't answer. Said he will do whatever the coaches ask him to do. Asked if he follows the other LB's from his draft class and he said "Not really, I'm just focussed on what we're doing here" Asked about how focussed team is on Patriots* he said 'We just prepare game to game for whoever we play next" said he is excited to play against the Steelers and his brothers.

Oliver was just interviewed. He was way more humble than I expected: Asked about Williams he said "He is like a big box of cheat codes and he just gives 'em to you for free!" Asked about Aaron Donald comparison he said "I couldn't touch Aaron Donald with a ten foot pole right now" Laughed about getting "kicked out of practice" for hitting Allen. Said he knew it would be a matter of time before he "popped his cherry" but he will try not to do it again cause they need Allen to win. Also said his college coach told him it would happen when he got to the pros. Loves Frank Gore. Said he is "OG for real" said he constantly watches him to see how he prepares.

Great interviews on NFLN with Gore and Allen. I did not realize Allen grew up a Niners fan and had multiple Gore jerseys. It is so cool that he nows gets to hand him the ball. A couple of interesting moments (paraphrased): Asked Gore how he will help Allen this year. He said when he hands me the ball I will put him in 2nd and short situations. Gore said he loves how much Allen loves the game and thinks he will be "great" Gore said "if the Bills want me back next year, I will play for them again" They asked Allen what he thought about Oliver and he started with "Well, I have this bruise on my leg..." Said he is a gunslinger at heart but he is learning to take what the Defense gives him Said he and Darnold have a "friendly rivalry" and joked about beatring him in golf etc... They asked if he could out throw Mahomes and he handled it very well. He basically said we both think no one can throw it further than ourselves and maybe some day in the off-season we will find out. Both great interviews, but Allen really carries himself well and will be a great representative of our Bills for years to come.

Interview with Gore coming up on NFLN and then Josh Allen a bit later.

Just watching Oliver and Horrible Harry doing a drill on NFLN, led by Williams. Oliver either had a bad itch on his upper thigh, or he tweaked something. Hopefully it was the former...

Have you removed the trademark already?

I love the fact that Oliver is getting all of that one on one time with Kyle. But I agree, I wonder how long he'll stick around without being on the payroll. Maybe Pegula is paying him a consulting fee.

If this O-line has you worried, it is a wonder that you survived last year.

Tony's kid?

True, but only if they notice it. My point is, I am sure many players "get their bell rung" and try to keep playing without calling attention to the potential injury. Players are probably better at self reporting now, but I am sure it is no where near 100%.

I could be wrong, but my guess is, if this was the regular season, he would be playing and no one would even know he had a concussion. Best to take precaution in training camp, but I guarantee many concussions still go unreported every week in the NFL.

He is very specific about Robert Thomas' position.

Do you mean "where" as in the team or "where" as in spot in the draft?

Crap.

I was thinking the same thing. Brown and OBJ will start whining any day now.

Thanks for putting in the effort to share OP! I am amazed by how open Oliver is. Hilarious that he says pro linemen cheat. Glad he is getting to learn how to deal with it in camp. His statements about how how he would see something occasionally in college and now it is on every play, is a good description of the difference between college and NFL.

Good for him! I have a feeling he skips a lot off workouts.

Time to edit the title

He has now retired. I guess his transformation is complete.
