‘“Obviously, we haven’t put pads on and stuff,” Alexander said, “but you can tell he’s explosive, has a lot of natural ability, and you just want to continue to be able to grow on that, football IQ and stuff. … And by the time the season starts, you want him to be primed up and ready to go to be able to last 16 games.’

Bills training camp 2019 offensive line preview: Who’s on roster bubble? | Position battles to watch
‘There are two spots on the line that seem to be set in terms of projected starters. New center Mitch Morse, who signed a four-year deal in free agency with the Bills to become the highest-center in football, will start in the middle of the line. Dawkins, who started all 16 games at left tackle in 2018, spent the entirety of the offseason practice periods with the first team at LT. After that positions are completely up for grabs.’
‘Sean McDermott is genius when you talk pass defense’: NFL analyst bullish on Bills, predicts playoffs
‘“You look what Sean McDermott has done up there in Buffalo. They have taken care of the line of scrimmage with the draft and their free agent additions,” Robinson said. “I think this top-rated pass defense (of the Bills) will give (New England quarterback) Tom Brady fits as it did last year. Sean McDermott is a genius when you talk about pass defense.”’
Buffalo Bills among best landing spots for Chargers RB Melvin Gordon, says B/R
‘The Bills own a strong running back stable, but it could be drastically better with Gordon’s acquisition.

The Bills lack an offensive player of that caliber.’

Tyler Dunne: “There should be some pressure in Buffalo”
‘“They’ve got to win more games than they did last year, and I think you have to see a step from Josh Allen. I mean, this is year three for the regime really. And yeah, they probably bought themselves some time with making the playoffs when nobody thought they’d make the playoffs. I mean, I bet you Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane were not expecting to make the playoffs if you caught them on an honest moment. It’s still year three and much like the situation in San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch, Jimmy Garropolo, they’re into year three. Out there, they’re feeling the pressure to win. There should be some pressure in Buffalo.”’
Madden 20 ratings are not kind to the Bills offense
‘Josh Allen’s rating starts where it ended up at the end of last season. Allen’s 74-rating is the same as the likes of Sam Darnold, Joe Flacco, and Ryan Tannehill. That’s tied for 28th among quarterbacks. A strong start to his sophomore season would likely see Allen jump into the 80s.’
