A healthy Trent Murphy provides giant boost to Bills’ defense

‘“I was mad as a kid, of course, but I learned to do things right the first time and not take those shortcuts,” Trent said. “And it’s not easy in Arizona; if you sleep in it’s 115 degrees before long in the summer. So little lessons like that.”’

Pat Shurmur says he was actually complimenting Josh Allen

‘“I said he is a big, strong-armed guy who we felt had a chance to be a starter, one of 32 in the world, which I consider high praise,” Shurmur said in an in-house interview released Friday. “I also mentioned that he has already helped his team win some big games, so he’s a winner. He is an outstanding young player with a bright future.”’

Giants’ Pat Shurmur: Bills interpreted my Allen comments ‘differently’

‘“I know what I said and my comments were meant to be positive,” Shurmur said Friday before the Giants face Buffalo on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. “I can’t control how some people will interpret them. … My comments were meant to basically give praise. They were interpreted differently.”’

Bills looking to wreck another MetLife home debut

‘It was a game of growth for a young Bills team that returns to the same stadium to play the Giants. If not for the fourth-quarter heroics, the Bills might have been shut out or soundly beaten. There would have been doubts about the potential of the offense and Allen, who begins his first full year as the starter. Instead, it’s the Giants who enter trying to correct what went wrong against Dallas and find a winning formula to avoid another 0-2 start.’

Buffalo Bills: How They Can Beat The New York Giants In Week 2

‘The offense must attack a weak secondary of the Giants. Dak Prescott was on fire for the Cowboys, piling up 405 yards last week. While the Giants will obviously make adjustments, the Bills must exploits those weaknesses in the N.Y. secondary.’

Levi Wallace and Cole Beasley both return to practice

‘Both cornerback Levi Wallace and wide receiver Cole Beasley were out on the field for the media-open portion of practice. Wallace took a fall Thursday in 1-on-1 drills and had to have his ankle looked at by trainers. Beasley missed the entire practice with an illness.’

McDermott: We have to be disciplined against the Giants

‘”Ed’s motor and youth comes into play and helps us out. And then Trent [Murphy] being stronger and healthier than he was last year, it’s really become a team effort. We play a lot of players on the defensive line and rotate players, which will be key this week with the heat we’re anticipating over in New York City. To have fresh players, but also a number of players that can continue to come in and throw fastballs at the offensive line or the quarterback works in our favor.”‘

Injury Report: Taron Johnson, Andre Roberts out

‘The news was not as good for both nickel corner Taron Johnson and receiver/returner Andre Roberts. Both were declared out for Sunday’s game due to hamstring and quad injuries respectively. Neither player practiced this week.’
