Not so much the coaches but the younger players. From my personal experience dealing with the young people today lot more kid glove handling required from my managerial experiences. McDaniels was able to navigate around it and it appears he is more of a people person than Flores was.

Wouldn't be surprised but on the flip side money talks and despite what everyone says people will always look to that first and foremost.

I don't know but also seems like it is a generational thing. Need to know who your audience is and how to approach each individual. Old school methods of yesteryear just not going to fly today.

None of the WRs can be evaluated outside of practice due to how terrible the backup QB play has been. Dinucci gets an exception since he is new to team. However, still have concerns about the passing offense till we see how Allen does in the regular season and how he operates in Brady's system.

I think we make the playoffs and compete for division title but each season that passes without a Super Bowl is a failure in my opinion. There are only so many prime Allen years remaining. I look at this year as a mini reset and we roll the dice come playoff time hopefully getting hot at the right time.

Unfortunate news but team has to look at replacing Milano just can't be counted on at this point in his career.

Here is hoping Coleman can turn some of that around. At a minimum would like to see him become redzone threat his rookie year.

All the interview and vibe stuff isn’t really relevant. However, no matter how Cook looks I am letting him walk once his rookie deal is up. Draft and replace RBs while maintaining RB by committee approach. Money is always better spent up front on the offensive line. With Allen you just need a passable running game which other teams have to respect.

AI can probably do a better job now. That picture is pretty laughable for a product that is mainly just an update versus something completely brand new.

Not just Milano but the injury bug biting key players we expect to contribute this year. Defense was decimated last year here is hoping it is not another repeat.

And it begins...

Exactly reason I don’t understand why the Bills don’t just go after low cost controlled players they can develop. Obviously team prefers a veteran with experience backing up Josh. However, season is over if Allen misses any significant time. It is Super Bowl or bust as long as Josh is in his prime. If Josh misses significant time due to injury rather lose with a younger player versus fluke into a couple wins with Tribusky.

Samuel going to be underrated fantasy option this year if he can stay healthy.

With all the injuries have to imagine La’El Collins has one foot out the door. I don't see him making the team but other than that agreed with the majority Buscaglia had projected.

Will be interesting to watch if Patriots keep 3 QBs on the active roster. I wouldn’t mind having a developmental prospect to push the veteran backup QB off the roster to save money at the position.

Money and him probably willing to wait for the best opportunity so he has the most leverage in getting a favorable deal.

If doesn't even have to be confrontational. Guy has a bad practice and is down on himself. Going over and encouraging him. Important for the QB to have pulse of team and know the right buttons to push with any number of guys. Team is only going to go as far as 17 is going to take them and this is going to be critical year with all the new faces on team.

Does seem Allen is putting an emphasis on this with all the new faces around this year which is a good thing regardless.

Yes implore might have been too strong of a word. However, I think the leadership question was something that definitely was up for debate. Allen even admitted to as much in the article that it isn’t the easiest thing for him. “As a franchise quarterback, guys that get to their second contract, you’re not getting paid just to be the quarterback,” Allen said. You’re getting paid to be the best leader that you can be. The best quarterback, obviously, comes with that. Leadership looks like a lot of different things. You wear many hats in this building. Sometimes, it’s not the easiest thing. I feel like I’m one of the guys, and sometimes I have to remind myself that you’re looked at a little bit differently. Guys rely on you a little bit more.”

Going to be interesting to watch this season. Fun loving Josh has a place but can see leadership being called into question it is not enough for the Franchise QB to just be one of the guys. Could have been issue that also bothered a guy like Diggs. Team is going to need Josh to lead them with the amount of roster turnover and keeping guys locked in. Looks like he is trying to make that a point of focus this season.

That could be true maybe Diggs wanted to be traded and was told something different than what he had thought. Normally when guys miss voluntary OTAs but I am sure they are giving the coaching staff the heads up and reasons why like when Allen missed one to participate in Golf tourney. Normally not an issue but for a captain like Diggs have to believe McDermott wants those guys setting the examples and if they can't make them all. I believe Diggs wanted to work on his own and just another sore point between him and team.

Yeah they are supposed to be "voluntary" but some coaches would prefer players to be there and I think that rubbed Diggs the wrong way. Then the whole thing hit the fan come mandatory minicamp with McDermott being "concerned" when Diggs was absent on Day 1 of mandatory minicamp. However, it came out later that McDermott had sent Diggs home. McDermott botched the whole situation from what I could tell. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-stefon-diggs-sean-mcdermott-mandatory-minicamp-concerned-josh-allen-von-miller

I think it had something to do with OTAs and Diggs preferring to work out on his own versus attending voluntary workouts. There was some disconnect between McDermott and Diggs. However, yes dealing with someone who is temperamental can become draining for everyone around.

We have no idea if the 49ers are even interested in moving him. May take an injury for some team to cough up something worthwhile. However, I would not make any moves till middle of training camp and allow for team to evaluate what they have while determining if that is good enough to get through the season.

Nice to see some positive things about Hamlin hopefully a year removed from his injury scare he can focus solely on football.
