Bills QB Josh Allen, first-teamers will play in preseason opener

‘”It’s really, to me, it’s getting them ramped up and ready to go for the season,” McDermott said. “It’s an important step, hard to simulate the speed of the game and so getting that in preseason is important, going through warmups and the energy that comes with playing a game in front of fans, and being able to manage that. So, there’s a lot of reasons for it, like I said, it’s just another step.”‘

‘The clip is stunning because this would never happen in today’s NFL. Most of today’s coaches are so young and so buddy-buddy with each other, they would never pull the move Levy pulled.

‘“To get things rolling would be nice but I understand not getting out there and making sure that we’re being healthy and being protective,” Allen said. “Again, it’s a double-edged sword any way you look at it. If I’m asked to play, I’ll play. If I’m told not to play, I won’t play. So, the competitive juices in me want to play, but I understand Week 1, we still got some time.”’

‘“The 1’s will play,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “They’ll play roughly a quarter, give or take. It’s really, to me, getting them ramped up and ready to go for the season. It’s an important step. It’s hard to simulate the speed of the game and so getting that in the preseason is important. Going through warm-ups and the energy that comes with playing a game in front of fans.”’
