‘“We really enjoy our summers at training camp at St. John Fisher and the relationship we continue to have with the school. We have four years remaining on our current agreement with them and preparations are already underway for camp this summer. Rochester is an important market for the Bills, our entire company, and for me personally, being that it’s my hometown.”’

Bills name Dan Morgan new Director of Player Personnel
‘“First thing we were looking for was culture fit,” said Beane. “I was in Carolina when we drafted Dan as a player and he would be a ‘Bills blue’ as our kind of guy. As a player he was always prepared, worked hard, did everything. He worked his way up from the bottom (with the Seahawks). He didn’t get placed into a seat because of his status as a former player. Sometimes that’s warranted, but Dan was a scouting intern with the Seattle Seahawks in 2010 and worked his way up to a Director of Pro Scouting. That’s not an easy transition to go from the field to a grunt in our business. It’s humbling and he did it and he’s risen to Director of Pro (Scouting).’

‘“What that signal will do is effectively render the ball dead whether it lands in the end zone or falls short of the end zone,” Tasker said. “This idea was brought about because players were getting hurt too often on touchbacks. A player on the coverage team is busting downfield doesn’t know if the guy is going to take a knee and neither does the player trying to block him on kick return and guys were getting hurt on a play that didn’t even materialize into anything.’
Bills Today: Bill Parcells had advice for Josh Allen
‘“I like to use the term, ‘ready to be a star,’” said Parcells. “Some players, they’ve been highly recruited since high school and they’ve had their outstanding college careers and they’ve been lauded as college players. Some of them are a little bit more interested in the notoriety and the commercial part of the game, as opposed to coming in and getting themselves established. And I call those players ‘ready to be a star’ instead of a football player.”’
