Knox: ‘The game is starting to slow down for me’
‘”I’m just thankful for the offensive system we’re running, it feels very similar. I feel like coach [Brian] Daboll has done a great job of keeping the same things, while adding some new twists here and there. I’m just thankful for that foundation that I had from last year. When it comes to the gameplay, I feel that it’s a lot easier to learn quicker so I can progress on to some of the more complicated film studies, such as looking at safety tendencies, the way [defensive] ends rush and looking for changes in coverage right before the snap. I can spend a little more time studying that instead of where I’m running to go line up and instead of the actual route I have. I feel like the game is starting to slow down for me, which is pretty nice.”‘
Bills once again prepare for Ryan Fitzpatrick and any Fitzmagic he might throw at them
‘“A guy that’s been playing a long time so you gotta give him his respect. He’s won a lot of football games, he can throw the ball, he can put the ball in really good spots for his receivers to go up and get the football. You know he’s a savvy vet, not a lot of weaknesses, he’s a very confident football player, confident in himself so it’s gonna be a big task for us,” Poyer explained.’

Bills Today | Shaq Lawson believes Josh Allen is noticeably improved
‘”That guy got better every year and I saw that develop his first two years as a player,” said Lawson of Allen. “He’s a dog. I said that when I was there. The guy is a dog and that’s what you need at quarterback. He’s grown a lot. Just watching his film now, he looks a lot better than he was last year – 10 times better. Throwing the ball – the guy can already run – and just a strong, physical guy and just a dog. I respect Josh Allen, since Day 1, since he came in there.”‘
Column: Josh Allen’s ball security unavoidable focal point for Bills
‘“Whether I break the pocket and run, making sure the ball’s tucked and where it’s supposed to be,” he said. “Two, it’s designed drills, which (quarterbacks) coach (Ken) Dorsey kind of puts us through and forces us to kind of get in weird positions, but also maintaining good ball security. You don’t get a lot of live reps at it, because it’s practice and we’re not really getting hit. But I think you can make strides in those two areas.”’
