Bills practice notes | Ben DiNucci’s journey from the golf course to Buffalo

‘”Fortunately, we got a lot of guys in the QB room, a lot of coaches with familiarity with the systems that he’s been around,” OC Joe Brady said. “I might be calling a play in our terminology and calling it in the terminology that he’s been a part of. We’ll find a way to [say] ‘hey, these are the plays you’ll have’ just to be able to go out there and execute, to let him play his best football.”‘

Bills add QB Ben DiNucci due to injury to No. 3 Shane Buechele

Why Ben DiNucci made the most sense for Joe Brady and the Buffalo Bills at QB

‘Buffalo is looking for a quarterback who can step in quickly as the No. 3 quarterback is expected to play significant reps in the second and third preseason games. DiNucci may not have any experience in Brady’s system, but Payton’s is as close as it gets. Payton mentored Brady from 2017-2018 when the now-Bills offensive coordinator served as Payton’s offensive assistant. Simply put, Brady comes from the Sean Payton coaching tree, and Brady’s concepts–albeit with different names–will be very similar to what DiNucci had to learn last year on the Broncos’ practice squad.’
