‘Just because we did some good things last year doesn’t mean we’re necessarily going to be able to do that again. We still have to come in and commit to working hard and trying to establish that. It’s a new year, if you think you’re just going to roll out there and run the ball well, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Every year you have to go back out and build a foundation, and it’s going to take a while. Today was the first day in pads, and this is something that will develop as we go along in camp.’

EJ Manuel: ”It felt like a lot of action today”
‘I thought we did lean on the passing game. It just so happened that we ran the ball very good. Anytime you’re second in the league (in rushing) and 28th or 29th in passing, obviously you’re going to think it’s a true imbalance. But I think the way Coach (Nathaniel) Hackett calls plays is very balanced. Obviously, just when we have opportunities to connect, that’s when we need to execute it. I don’t think it’s him calling different plays or the balance was off as far as his play calling. I think it’s more so us executing the passing game better.’
