1-on-1 with QB Coach Ken Dorsey
‘“You know, last year to this year with us in Buffalo, there’s so many new pieces so it’s just coming together and trusting that process. The thing you have to be most cognizant of if you’re a quarterback is not getting frustrated every play isn’t perfect, if every pas isn’t perfect because there is that chemistry that needs to be built and, for a young quarterback in this league, reps is the most important thing you can have.”’
