Debut of rising Bills safety Marlowe was 2 long years in making
‘Marlowe has a great chance to make the 53-man roster as the Bills’ fourth safety. He has worked all spring and training camp with the second team, next to veteran safety acquisition Rafael Bush. He’s holding down a spot on the starting coverage units on special teams.’
Bills Camp Day 11: McDermott sticking with plan on Josh Allen

What He Said: Bills coach Sean McDermott on QB rotation, preseason plan and more
‘Yeah, we’re working through that every day, much like the quarterback position and a lot of the positions. It’s important, all of those are important. What I love is the level of competition you see out there. You see it every day. Yesterday in the 9-on-7 drill, the offense, I thought, had a really good day. The day before, in the run drill, the defense was pretty solid. It’s been back and forth which is healthy, and there are battles that go back and forth and that’s healthy for us as well.’

Bills’ new receiver Corey Coleman grateful to catch a fresh start
‘His two-year stint with the Browns, however, was marred by two broken hands, pedestrian production (56 catches, 718 yards, five TDs) in an offense beset with quarterback problems and legal troubles stemming from an ugly assault case on New Year’s Eve 2016 that left a man bloodied and beaten and lying in the parking garage of Coleman’s downtown apartment building.’
Sean McDermott hints that Josh Allen won’t be ready to start Buffalo Bills opener
‘“Look, the games are important,” McDermott said. “Up to this point we haven’t had games to weigh. We had the spring in shorts and t-shirts basically, and now we’ve had training camp, somewhat in pads, and now we’ll have games to factor into that equation, that evaluation, and ultimately that decision.”’
Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott impressed by Kerley, Lawson, Marlowe and Cadet
‘Kerley has been plugged into the slot receiver role, but if he proves to be one of the two best receivers, McDermott seems comfortable in the thought that he could play on the outside opposite Kelvin Benjamin. So far in camp, Kerley has lined up in several spots.’

Jets’ Jamal Adams expects Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen to try him
‘”Yeah, I know he’s seen it,” Adams told Bleacher Report’s Tyler Dunne. “I know he’s definitely seen it, so that means he’s going to try me and I definitely want him to try me. I’m excited for this year. I’m itching for this year because a lot of people just don’t know. They just don’t know yet. I don’t want to spoil the treats. I just can’t wait.”‘
Buffalo Bills see biggest fall in ESPN Insider’s under-25 talent list
‘So what’s left? Usually an under-25 quarterback is a good thing in this exercise, and Buffalo even has two of them in Josh Allen and Nathan Peterman. However, Buffalo and Denver were the only teams that we actually downgraded for their quarterback based on expectations. Peterman was worse than imagined as a rookie and Allen does terribly in our projections out of college. Pairing either with Zay Jones, who caught just 36.5 percent of his targets as a rookie, sounds like a perfect match for a football game played in hell.’
Bills’ Teller coached by Livonia grad
‘“Wyatt was a great dude,” said Girolmo, who is now the head coach at Robert E. Lee High School in Staunton, VA. “By the time I came to Liberty, he had already garnered interest from multiple local universities in the DMV (DC-Maryland-Virginia) and Mid-Atlantic Region. Everybody had seen the incredible talent he possessed. At that point, he was 6”4’, maybe 6”3, around 230 pounds, and just a sophomore.”’
AJ McCarron or Nathan Peterman could start at quarterback in Bills’ preseason opener
‘Asked if he would elaborate on that plan, McDermott said: “I believe in sharing it with the players first. So that’s what we’ll do. We’ll share it; we’ll talk about it. We’ve got a plan, like I said. We’ll continue to talk about it as we get into our game, and we’ll go from there. You guys will see this morning us stay with the rotation like we’ve been. AJ will be out there this morning with the first group.”‘
