Bills’ QB coach Ken Dorsey focused on Josh Allen becoming a ‘well-rounded’ QB

‘”We just want to continue to make sure that we’re getting well-rounded and continue to improve in all aspects because that’s the long-term goal. There are short-term in these specific areas and wanting to improve and everything, but also we want Josh to have a 15-year career of being a great quarterback in this league. And the only way to do that is to harp on it and focus on the entirety of your game and becoming a well-rounded football player from A to Z.”’

Bills’ Cole Beasley: Stats and numbers ‘doesn’t matter to me anymore’

‘“There’s a lot of variables that they don’t take into account, so I’m sitting here playing for things that didn’t even matter. I’ve had time to grow and now it’s just doing my part and giving the best I can out there. I know, one-on-one, in my mind, nobody’s really going to cover me. As long as I know what I am, that’s all that matters to me. I don’t need numbers to really prove that.”’

Bills Camp Observations: Rookie Zack Moss off to a fast start

‘The rookie running back showed during practice Tuesday, though, that he might be able to contribute in another way. Moss made at least three catches during the second padded practice of training camp at the ADPRO Sports Training Center. The first of those, which came from quarterback Josh Allen during a 7-on-7 drill, was a perfect touch pass down the right sideline. Moss displayed good vision to pull in the over-the-shoulder catch.’

Cole Beasley doesn’t care what you think of Josh Allen. So, bye Felicia

‘“He finally got a full year under his belt last year so he’s playing more confident than ever,” said Beasley, who in his first season with the Bills caught 67 passes for 778 yards and a career-best six touchdowns from Allen. “He’s making throws that he wouldn’t even have tried to attempt last year. He’s starting to throw guys open a little bit.”’

Harrison Phillips endured a long and arduous journey back to the Buffalo Bills

‘“Five-, six-hour days, working, sweating, crying, throwing up from how hard that I’m going,” he continued, trying to paint a picture of the grind he endured to make sure Monday arrived. “There was definitely some depression through there. There was definitely a lot of anxiousness, anxiety, fear.”’

Bills offensive rookies impress at Tuesday’s training camp session

‘After a really strong performance on Monday, quarterback Josh Allen had a much more uneven day. There were definitely some pin-point strikes, but also some balls that went into no-man’s land, where he either missed or there was poor communication between him and his receivers.’

Cole Beasley believes Josh Allen is ready to take the next step

‘”When you see a guy with a lot of confidence in himself, that kind of, drifts to everyone else as well and it’s infectious, and anytime you have a guy like that and it spreads throughout the team, then everyone is playing confident because the guy you’re looking at to lead us is playing confident, that makes a dangerous team,” Beasley said of Allen. “He’s a guy that’s unselfish and he’s going to put his body on the line for everybody, so we’ll run through a brick wall for him and when you’ve got guys who will do that great things will happen.”‘

NFL possibly looking to have fans in stadium this season in Orchard Park

‘The survey was sent to some Buffalo Bills season ticket holders Monday morning asking them a wide-range of questions, topics which include: communication from the team, the direction the team is heading on the field, and fans’ comfort level with watching the game from inside the stadium this season.’

Bills did NOT send survey to fans about attendance

‘According to a team spokesperson, the survey was sent by the NFL, which sends a similar questionnaire to season ticket holders for all organizations across the league every year, and the survey was not specific to the Bills.’

Jefferson could be Bills “joker” on defense

‘“Always been kinda a tweener,” Jefferson said. “I’m big, but not super big. At the time (high school), I didn’t realize it would help me at this point. It was one of those things… I just mastered it.”’

Christian Wade has no regrets, only confidence

‘”I feel as though I have the potential to make the team,” Wade said on a Zoom with reporters. “Obviously I’ve only been playing the game a year so there are obviously things I need to learn. But in terms of my base knowledge now, compared to last year, I have a good base and can work from that moving forward. I feel like I can make the team just like everyone else.”‘

Do you think the Bills have too many weapons on offense?

‘”Guys gotta be patient and wait their turn to make a play. That’ll be one of the hardest things because guys are competitors. Guys that have the ball in their hands always want the ball in their hands,” grinned Beasley.’

Bills Today | Cole Beasley explains the Josh Allen effect

‘”It’s really just the confidence factor,” Beasley explained. “When you see a guy with a lot of confidence in himself, that kind of drifts to everyone else too as well. It’s infectious and anytime you have a guy like that it spreads throughout the team. Everybody’s playing confident because the guy who they’re looking at to lead us is playing confident. That makes a dangerous team.”‘
