‘“Every O-line coach is different. I know that’s cliche and kind of, ‘Of course,’ but he tries to work everyone’s advantages and their strengths into their advantages,” Morse said of Kromer. “So maybe he doesn’t coach me the same as he would have coached someone else just because physiologically we move differently or we’re playing different positions. Now for every O-line coach, there’s certain things that are undeniably what we’re going to do as an offensive line, but at the same time, there are certain things that certain guys he’ll let do because they play to their individual strengths.”’

Bills RB Devin Singletary embraces learning in bid to stay on a roll
‘Singletary is candid that adapting to Dorsey isn’t instantaneous, even if there is a helpful level of familiarity. The Bills used OTAs and minicamp to experiment with all parts of the offense, a process that will continue into training camp. While Singletary thinks it has been a smooth transition from Brian Daboll to Dorsey, he feels it’s too early to make any major declarations about how he will look in the Bills offense.’
Training camp preview: Bills preach physicality in run game
‘Second-round draft pick James Cook adds an element to the offense, as the Bills have looked for a running back who can be more dynamic in the pass game.

The Editorial Board: The Bills stadium community benefits agreement is too important for secrecy
‘The argument for conducting the initial stadium deal away from public scrutiny was that the future of the stadium was too important to risk giving away information that might imperil the negotiations. There are no such dire admonitions about the CBA and other final agreements; we’re just being told to be patient; the initial drafts of the documents are still being completed. The bottom line, though, is this is public money that’s been allocated to support a private business. What the Erie County taxpayers get for their generosity deserves a public discussion.’

It’s playoff it’s playoff game. And, you know, they’ll be raising their banner and there’ll be emotions that are high. They want to come out and obviously play well and so do we. So we’re going to get off to a hot start and it’s going to be a tough crowd in L.A. But, you know, I think it’s something that’s cool and we’re looking forward to it.”‘

Bills training camp preview: Quarterbacks
‘It’s not a crutch for Allen, but it is a luxury. The team wants to give him every advantage it can, and they’ve been able to bring in quarterbacks with plenty of game experience. With Mitchell Trubisky now with the Steelers, Case Keenum slides into the role of veteran backup.’

That’s a common thread for a lot of the players on this list, but Singletary is looking to build off the strong close to his 2021 season and solidify himself as a starting running back. Given the relatively short shelf life for NFL running backs, his next contract is likely to be the biggest and most important he signs in his career. That’s why a good 2022 season matters so much.’
