For new Bills center Mitch Morse, only perfect will do

‘“I pride myself on being the best teammate I can be and whether that’s knowing my assignment or just being there helping the guys out. … I’m not always the biggest guy, but it’s a physical game and I pride myself on being pretty physical inside. There’s always room for improvement. I can be even more physical, but I like finishing toward the ball and I like picking my guys up.”‘

Mark Gaughan’s Bills Mailbag: Trade down from No. 9 could be attractive

‘Even though Denver signed Joe Flacco, do you think John Elway is hitching his wagon to the 34-year-old for the next three years? He could take Missouri’s Drew Lock. I do not see Cincinnati, at No. 11, going for a QB, even though most fans look at Andy Dalton and say he’s not the long-term solution. With a new head coach, Zac Taylor, the Bengals are not easy to predict. But the people I’ve talked to in the league like a linebacker more than a QB for the Bengals.’

Poloncarz on renovating New Era Field: ‘Why would we not do that?’

‘”You have to make the determination of do you build a new stadium or do you renovate the existing stadium and get the best bang for the buck,” Poloncarz told The Buffalo News after Pegula’s comments about a “Buffalo-style” stadium. “We know if we can extend the lifespan of that stadium for another 25 years, and if it worked for our market, why would we not do that?”‘

Sources: Buffalo Bills to host Western Illinois DT Khalen Saunders on pre-draft visit

‘During his four seasons at Western Illinois, Saunders recorded 127 total tackles, 18 sacks, 34.5 tackles for loss and six forced fumbles. After a great career at Western Illinois, Saunders was invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl to showcase his skills. Early in the week, Saunders learned that his fiancee, Ayanna Hall, was in labor. The two decided that it was in Saunders’ best interest to stay for the practices and appear in the showcase game.’

Losing for Levy: How throwing game led to Buffalo Bills hiring HOF coach

‘“There were a lot of older players who didn’t care for Coach Bullough at all,” Wolford told Moran. “And literally, you know, we were playing Tampa my first year and they knew that if we lost to Tampa he was getting fired. Again, I’m just a young kid who’s naive and taking this all in second, third hand. But we literally had players before the game and at half time saying, “If you make a tackle, if you catch the ball, if you play any good I’ll kill you.” And we went out and lost the game. We lost the game on purpose and sure enough Coach Bullough was fired and Marv Levy was hired. And really that was all she wrote. You put the combo of Bill Polian and Marv Levy together and magic happened.”’
