Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey talks Dalton Kincaid, Josh Allen before OTA
‘“I love (Kincaid’s) approach right now. It’s been great. (He’s) eager to learn and eager to build a foundation more so than anything and I think that’s important. We’re nowhere close to knowing exactly, ‘Hey, this is what the big picture is going to be,’ because we have to learn him and he has to learn us in a lot of ways, too, within the system and within what we do and within the direction we’re going and where we can expand things and where we can utilize him.”’

Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey has a new weapon to utilize in Dalton Kincaid

New Bills’ TE Dalton Kincaid wowed Dawson Knox with this crazy stat
‘“I’m going kind of in the back of my mind hoping he doesn’t get picked up so we can get him on the team and start doing some of this 12 personal stuff, like that’s gonna be really fun,” Knox said. “I think it’s gonna create some mismatches for both of us, something that we might not have had in the past. … Anytime you can get a quarterback like Josh more weapons, you should do it.”’

‘“He’s eager to just build a foundation more so than anything and I think that’s important,” Dorsey said. “We’re nowhere close to knowing exactly ‘Hey, this is what the big picture is going to be’ because we have to learn him and he is going to learn us in a lot of ways.

Ken Dorsey has options to create a diverse offense in second year as Bills play-caller
‘“Coaching is being honest, not only with your players, but yourself and making sure that if you didn’t like something, ‘OK, we could probably get away from what we’re doing here,’” Dorsey said. “I think you look at those things … and evaluate it and if it’s not something that fits our personnel, fits our identity, then we’re not going to run it as much. If it is then we’re going to continue to grow.”’

Hamlin was revived and was taken off the field in an ambulance.’
Bills OC Ken Dorsey on how to use first-rounder Dalton Kincaid: ‘We have to learn him and he has to learn us’
‘Tight ends tend to take a few years to really round into major contributors. It’s tough for them to even get on the field all that often as rookies because they have so many responsibilities as run-blockers, pass-blockers and receivers. The Bills also already have Dawson Knox at tight end, and while he is a bit of a different player than Kincaid, who was essentially used as a slot receiver by Utah (he aligned there on 55% of his snaps, per PFF), he has been in the league for a few years and likely has a better handle on the demands of the position.’

‘”We’re nowhere close to knowing exactly that this or what the big picture is going to be, because we have to learn him and he has to learn us within the system and the direction we’re going. How we’re going to use him, where we’re going to use him is to be determined, and we won’t get a great feel of it as coaches until we start getting into training camp and live action.”‘
