Bills rookie WR Gabriel Davis knows his role: Make ‘those contested catches’

‘”One thing I can say, I know I’m a bigger receiver and one of the bigger guys on the team,” Davis said Tuesday during a Zoom call with reporters. “They want me to be that guy that has to make those contested catches. And I feel like, when an opportunity has come my way to make a contested play in practice, I’ve been coming down with some of those.”‘

Bills will not allow fans to attend first two home games in September

‘The team’s two home games in September are followed by one home game in October, against the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 15. There are three home games in November, against the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers; one in December against the Pittsburgh Steelers; and one in January, the regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins.’

Bills’ Josh Allen says he was ‘super frustrated’ by false positive COVID-19 test

‘Jon R. Cohen, M.D., the Executive Chairman of BioReference Laboratories, the testing partner of the NFL, released a statement explaining that these false-positives were due to an isolated contamination in the New Jersey lab. If there was anything good to come out of this whole situation, Allen says, it’s that the league ran across this problem before the regular season.’

Allen to Diggs connection heats up on Tuesday

‘During one series, Allen targeted Diggs three straight plays and all were completed. On another series shortly after, Allen targeted Diggs four straight plays, and, again, all of them were completed.’

Bills to play without fans for first two home games of season

‘The team says this measure in only in place for the first two games, which means things could change when the team hosts Kansas City on October 15. But that would be completely dependent on New York State, which currently bans all spectators from professional sports venues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans are also prohibited from congregating outside venues.’

Micah Hyde says this is the “most competitive” Bills training camp

‘“With the offseason being what it was, you just have to continue to work. Being a new dad, I don’t want the whole pandemic thing to happen, but for myself and my family it came at the perfect time,” Micah Hyde said in a Zoom call to reporters on Monday. “We just had a kid and were able to spend a bunch of time together, and I was working out and being a dad, working out and being a dad, working out and being a dad. Control what you can control, and I think that’s what a lot of guys did.”’

WR Isaiah Hodgins says offseason workouts with Bills QBs went a long way in learning the playbook

‘“That’s my guy for sure. We got drafted together so we automatically reached out to each other day one and since then our relationship has just continued to grow. We’ve been putting in work together since the offseason and we live right next to each other so we’re constantly in contact with each other, trying to get the playbook down you know he helps me after practice, I help him and it’s just a great relationship,” Hodgins said on a zoom call with reporters.’

Joseph gets second chance at life altering opportunity with Bills

‘“It’s no different. I’m still a player,” he said with a chuckle. “They want me in the building. Do meetings. There’s still rookie meetings, rookie duties, all this stuff. Ain’t nothing really changed, (except) me being out there on the field.”’

Bills rookie receivers making a big impression

‘“I feel like being a bigger body I can even use it more than what I have been and knowing when to use my feet and my wiggle and maybe some double moves or whatever but also knowing when it’s time to get physical and use my big body, my big frame and really just get up on DBs and stuff,” Hodgins said.’

No fans at Bills Stadium for at least the first two home games

‘Individuals allowed on or near the field will be limited to only athletes, essential team staff, like coaches, and others deemed necessary. To add to that, team staff and athletes on the sidelines must maintain appropriate social distancing at all times and must minimize congregating.’

Bills rookie Gabe Davis: “I’ve always been doubted all my life”

‘”For me, I just feel like I’ve always been doubted all my life and always had to prove something to somebody,” said Davis on a Zoom call with reporters on Tuesday, “You know, it’s more to prove it to myself, to know the work that I put in will set me apart from other people.”‘

Bills: No fans for at least first 2 home games

‘The ironic part for the Bills is that they will be playing in front of fans in week 2 in Miami because the Dolphins, with the blessing of the State of Florida, will be permitedd to have as many as 20, 000 fans in the stands for their home games. Head Coach Sean McDermott considers that to be an unfair advantage for some teams and called the league’s decision to allow fans in some places when others can’t “ridiculous”.’

Top 3 things to know from Day 8 at Bills training camp

‘The first team period started off with a heavy dose of Stefon Diggs action. Diggs was targeted three times in a row and didn’t drop a pass from Josh Allen. The pair had a crisp connection with each other today. Getting the timing and connection with each other to become muscle memory has been at the top of their list. Allen explained yesterday the timing is on the right track and will improve once they begin watching film together. In a later team period Diggs caught four straight passes from Allen. Diggs finished off the day with a nice catch in traffic with Tre’Davious White and Matt Milano in coverage. I can’t wait to watch these two in Week 1.’
