Hines turns heads in first week with Bills

Bills GM Brandon Beane addresses trades, Zack Moss, Odell Beckham Jr. rumors
‘”Neither one of these moves at 1 o’clock were anywhere near happening,” Beane said. “So if they didn’t happen, for whatever reason, I could have sat up here, said we believe in who we got, and we do, but … I’m always going to look. If it makes sense for the Buffalo Bills, today and long term, we’re going to try and make it happen. Of the two guys we got, there’s another 100-plus that we looked into. … I think we looked at, dug deep on just 10 safeties alone, but we looked at other positions – is there a chance to acquire a depth (player)? Maybe not a starter, but a depth piece, just to shore us up, should injury happen. But these were the two that we felt made the most sense.”‘

‘Here, Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey used a “boot-pass,” employing tight end Knox in the backfield on a weak-side, offset position to block defensive end Preston Smith.

Allen’s athletic ability and strength allowed him to get around Smith and then attack the line of scrimmage, threatening to run the ball into the end zone himself.’

It’s been a long and ‘very emotional’ road but Bills star cornerback nearing return
‘“It was one of those things … it’s unfamiliar territory for me so it was challenging. Very emotional. It’s my first time ever going through anything like that.

So it was my first time I had to sit down.”’

If it makes sense for the Buffalo Bills today and long term, we’re going to try to make it happen. Of the two guys we got, we looked at 100 other guys. We dug deep into 10 safeties alone. These were the two that made sense.”’
