‘“Huge Bills fan,” said Boeheim, who was at the practice with his father Jim and mother Juli, guests of team owner Terry Pegula. “When I’m overseas playing basketball, I’m staying up til’ the primetime games are over, I’m staying up til’ 3-4 a.m. to watch the games.

Dalton Kincaid with crazy catch, Bills camp getting physical on Day 10 (Observations)

‘Kincaid ran a pretty normal route and found himself one-on-one with middle linebacker Tyrel Dodson, who decided to test the rookie’s toughness. The two engaged at the catch point and Dodson appeared to lock on to Kincaid’s left arm as he was turning to make a play on the ball. Josh Allen threw a bullet of a pass and Kincaid fought off Dodson, boxed him out, and made the catch with only his right arm before falling to the turf.’

‘“I like this the organization and the way they do things,” Boeheim said. “We’re not quite that organized in basketball. We’re a little bit more spontaneous. Here, you got a lot of guys, everything’s orchestrated step by step. I learned from football, we chart our practice and we time our practice, too, but not quite like this. We’re working with fewer guys. So it’s a little bit easier, but it’s fun.”’

‘”I think overall as a whole team, we’ve got a lot of work to do yet, and no different in that position,” said McDermott during his visit with the media on Monday before practice. “There has been flashes of it, whether it’d be from an individual player or the group overall, but that has to continue to develop.’
