‘”I make fun of him a whole lot,” Diggs said. “I think I’m harder than anyone else is on him. I want him to have success. He’s grinding all the time, and I just tell him ‘I need you to break some more tackles, I need you to make some things happen because we’ve got two backs that, if we get in that red zone, Jimbo, you’re not going to be on that field. We’ve got (Latavius), we’ve got Damien, they run extremely hard, they’re going to punch it in.’ I said ‘My only recipe for you is (if) you want to score, you’re going to have to score from depth.'”‘

Bills look to bewilder defenses with moving pieces on offense
‘”Whether it’s moving Stefon around, Gabe around, tight ends around, Trent Sherfield, Deonte Harty or different guys, I think that creates some issues [between] the defense,” Dorsey said. “[Then, they] don’t know exactly where these guys are going to line up. Hopefully, that creates some struggles for them and their preparation and we’ll continue to look to do that as much as possible.”‘

I understand it, and I’m just trying to let it fuel me to my benefit.”‘

Searching for Robin: Bills need a secondary offensive weapon to support Diggs
‘”I think that’s really big, whether it’s a wide receiver, tight end, running back, whoever it is, we need that,” McDermott said. “We didn’t get it as much as we would’ve liked to, but I did see in the two-minute drive where Gabe stepped up his game, which was needed. There’s only one ball, and with all that being said, we need to make sure that Stefon gets what he needs in terms of a number one receiver, but spraying the ball around and other people becoming viable options is also what we need.”‘

Certainly the play kind of says that, and I think someone has to sit down and look him in the eye and say, ‘Look, I think we have to grow up when it comes to this.’ Because the moment Aaron goes down, there’s only one way they lose that game, and he can’t be the reason they lose that game.”‘
