Bills RB Frank Gore still feels he ‘can play at a high level’ entering 15th season

‘”I’m blessed to be playing a game that I still love at the age that a lot of people say you can’t play it,” Gore said. “I’m doing something I love. I’m enjoying it.”‘

Bills center Mitch Morse enters concussion protocol

‘Morse has a history of concussions from his time with the Kansas City Chiefs, including one suffered in Week 6 of the 2018 season that caused him to miss five games. Additionally, he missed two games in the 2015 season because of two separate concussions, one early in the year and then the Chiefs’ postseason game after being hurt in the regular-season finale.’

Rookie offensive tackle Cody Ford has a ‘nasty’ streak, and the Buffalo Bills love it

‘“He’s got the physicality and nastiness. That’s the way he plays the game,” said Schoen. “To him it was like, ‘Why did you ask that? That’s my job.’”’

Buffalo Bills center Mitch Morse sidelined by concussion

‘Given the investment the Bills made in Morse, and the important role he will be playing anchoring the middle of Buffalo’s refurbished offensive line, news of his latest concussion is certainly worrisome for McDermott and the team.’

Buffalo Bills training camp: Ray-Ray McCloud has been impressive so far

‘“It seems like a different guy makes a play from kind of that group of guys you are referring to and I think Ray-Ray McCloud has had a real nice training camp to this point,” said coach Sean McDermott. “Just with effort and doing the things we expect our wide receivers to do. At the end of the day, you have to get open and you have to get separation and catch the football.”’

Buffalo Bills training camp 2019: Josh Allen reveals he had ‘multiple jerseys’ of teammate growing up

‘“It’s unbelievable,” Allen told SiriusXM NFL Radio. “I’ve said so many good things about him, but I grew up a Frank Gore fan. I was a 49er fan. I had multiple jerseys of his. You know, the red one, the white one, the black one. And for him to still be playing at the level that he is is unbelievable. But you meet the guy, you see how hard he works, you see him in practice and his type of effort that he gives every single play and you understand. It’ s a Hall of Fame work ethic. It’s infectious, I think, to some of the guys in the building. I know it is for me. Just talking with him. He’s very studious. He’s very professional. It’s all about football when he’s on the field. It’s unbelievable to have him.”’

Buffalo Bills training camp 2019: Ed Oliver adjusting to speed of NFL game

‘“Football is not football without pads,” Oliver said after Tuesday’s practice, the third in pads at St. John Fisher College. “I feel like when you put the pads on your game elevates and you play physical, and play (real) football. … It was harder for me without pads on. When you put the pads on my leverage, my speed, my power comes into play. That actually works into my advantage when guys have to bend to block me.”’

Buffalo Bills training camp 2019: Mitch Morse in concussion protocol | History of concussions detailed

‘Morse’s first concussion came in a game against the Bills in 2015. He would miss one game before returning to the lineup. In the regular season finale that season, Morse would suffer a second concussion that would knock him out of the playoffs. The center did not suffer any concussions in 2016 or 2017, but would suffer his third NFL concussion in 2018. Morse’s third concussion kept him out of action for five games.’

Buffalo Bills training camp 2019: Brandon Beane discusses trimming offensive roster | What unit does he value most?

‘“I hope it is tough. It is going to be tough. I hope we’re healthy because you’re right. I looked at it in June as okay, ‘If we keep five receivers, four tight ends, this number… Where are we going to cut a spot?’ And I love linemen. And I don’t want to be short there. Those seem like once you get into late-September the talent level really starts to drop-off if you need a replacement. You can find one early in the year, but you start getting to late-September, early-October you’re crossing your fingers most of the time for those guys. Unless it’s a guy who has had an injury settlement that was a good player and just happened to become available in the middle of the year.”’

Buffalo Bills training camp day 6 wrap-up: News, injuries, lineup notes, latest on opponents, more

‘Oliver’s explosiveness saw him blow up one play so quickly that NYUP’s Matt Parrino initially thought a defensive end made the play. Oliver’s speed off the snap could lead to a lot of big plays for the Bills defense in 2019.’

Bills training camp 2019: Rookie Ed Oliver has his best day at camp (Day 6 observations)

‘The intensity was evident from the start of practice when the team began the day with some one-on-one matchups on both sides of the practice field at St. John Fisher College. The defensive and offensive line was getting it going on the far left end of the field, while the receivers and defensive backs were battling on the other side.’

‘Arbitrator Annette M. Rizzo ordered that McCoy and his friend, Tamarcus Porter, pay $55,000 to Roland Butler based on a ruling made last month that stated the two were responsible for Butler’s injuries, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.’

In his second training camp, Bills’ WR Ray-Ray McCloud is turning heads

‘“I think Ray-Ray is the most-improved player in our receiver room,” said Bills’ third-year receiver Zay Jones after this afternoon’s practice. “I feel like he is more-poised, more-confident, more of a pro. He is taking the steps toward being more of a pro.”’

Bills’ rookie OL Ford thankful for opportunity team has provided him; Former Sooner looks the part at RT

‘“It has built (my confidence) a little bit for them to give me my first shot (in the NFL) at the tackle position,” said Ford about the Bills’ faith in his ability to perform along the outside. “Instead of throwing me inside right away based on build and stuff like that, they’re giving me a shot and I appreciate it.”’

Takeaways from Day 6 of Bills camp: Mitch Morse, Other missing Bills, Kyle Williams, the running game

‘That struggle has included silencing the critics who have had plenty to say about Singletary’s lack of size and how they believe it will limit his ability professionally. Silencing the critics is something another Bills RB will have to do this season, as veteran ball carrier Frank Gore, who is the oldest player on the Bills’ roster, has looked like a bull thus far during camp but it remains to be seen how he will be used with the Bills.’

Jim and Jill Kelly – a story of love, loss and faith

‘Jim and Jill drove home from the hospital in silence. He thought it was the end of their marriage. Their ruptured relationship was devastating. The loss of their son was devastating. “But ultimately,” Jill said, “what God used was our one and only son to bring us to his.”’

‘With Morse and Long both out, Russell Bodine was the starting center, with Jon Feliciano at right guard. Dion Dawkins continued to start at left tackle, with Quinton Spain at left guard.’

Mitch Morse is in concussion protocol, highlights notable Bills not practicing on Wednesday

‘Back in March, Buffalo made Morse the highest paid center in the NFL despite an injury history that included several concussions and limited Morse to only one full 16-game season in his career. Morse has three diagnosed concussions in his NFL career.’

Bills release OL Sirles

‘Sirles, 27, was signed by Buffalo on September 25 of last year. He played in 12 games during the 2018 campaign with the Bills, and was then inked to a one-year extension on January 16, 2019. Sirles later hit the physically unable to perform list on July 23 ahead of training camp with a foot injury. Sirles originally suffered the injury during spring practice and was out of all training practices since.’

Alexander: ‘We have to reset and earn the right to win’

‘“I think one thing we have to do is… we have to reset and earn the right to win, and be great again on defense,” Alexander said. “We can’t just translate what we did last year, even though we have 10 or 11 starters coming back…if you have that mindset you could easily fall off and figure out ‘man, we were expecting the defense [to do well]. The offense is doing well, why isn’t the defense doing [it] right?”’

Geary: Camp Observations – WR a position of strength in 2019

‘Beasley and Allen together likely don’t sit in the back of many football minds as a fierce 1-2 punch, but that’s because most people think Allen just wants to let it fly down field. But his target share coming back from injury last season after week 12 suggests he was more than willing to check it down to his slot receiver, he just didn’t have the necessary targets to do so consistently or effectively.’

Bills release OL Jeremiah Sirles with an injury settlement

‘Sirles played in 12 games with the Bills last season, starting five of them. He was re-signed this offseason as an unrestricted free agent.’

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy pays officer $55,000 in 2016 nightclub fight

‘Authorities said a fight over a champagne bottle at Recess Lounge in February 2016 led to one officer being punched and kicked, and he was left with a broken nose, broken ribs and other injuries. City and state prosecutors filed no charges.’

Cornerback Competition Continues at Bills Training Camp

‘“We’re all really close,” said Wallace. “We’ve got some pretty great corners, we’re all fighting for a starting spot. Even Tre’Davious, Like I told you guys I’m trying to take his spot too we’ve got him in the mix as well.”’

Injury Bug Bites Bills

‘“Physical toughness, mental toughness I mean it’s all a part of developing a football team and getting ourselves ready to go for the regular season,” said Head Coach Sean McDermott. “It’s a delicate balance right? Guys who you already know what they can do, getting them ready but also trying to stay fresh and healthy as an overall football team.”’

4 observations from Bills Camp

‘It was a bumpy ride for Josh Allen. The Bills quarterback made a few “wow” throws but also had a few passes picked off by the Bills first team defense. Allen and the offense were without starting center Mitch Morse (concussion protocol) and defensive front was able to get pressure on Allen a lot during practice which forced some of the errant throws.’

‘“It seemed like we had a pretty good day. The offense has been doing a really good job of executing their calls, so we’re trying to get better every day,” said Harrison Phillips. “We know the offense will win a period and we’ll win a period. That’s what comes with a good team. I’m anxious to see the tape.”’

Bills Today: John Brown impressed by Bills’ pursuit

‘“It means a lot to me,” Brown said on One Bills Live, Wednesday. “It took me back to my college days before I went to Pittsburg State. They tried to get me over and over again but I wouldn’t fall for it but he never gave up on me. When a coach or person doesn’t give up on you that’s something that’s really important.”’
