‘”It’s not that much different than it has been,” said Dan Stegeman of Lockport. “I think most of the people who park around here in the private lots are still parking there. It’s not too bad for us.”‘

‘”Last year primarily was just about healing and coming back into myself, who I always was, and who I was trying to become,” Hamlin said Wednesday while speaking to media.’

‘The team has averaged eight captains the past few seasons, but this year, it’s just two— Josh Allen and linebacker Terrel Bernard, who was essentially the quarterback of Buffalo’s defense during his breakout season last year.’

‘An event celebrating the launch of the set was held on Sunday at Wegmans Penfield and included activities for people of all ages.’

‘The survey included 103 NFL players, who voted Josh Allen as the most overrated quarterback in the league. Too many turnovers was one of the most common reasons given.’

‘Rookie running back Frank Gore Jr. was among the notable cuts. The son of the former Bill and longtime NFL running back was the team’s leading rusher during the preseason.’

‘”Mafia Babes is a charitable group. So, every month they pick a different charity to support with the proceeds from events like this,” said Ross. “This month we’re supporting Best Self Behavioral Health which just recently partnered with the Buffalo Bills to tackle mental health.”‘

‘”It was fun,” offensive tackle Dion Dawkins said. “I ain’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but practicing against Ed (Oliver) and Greg Rousseau every day, that gets, like, sheesh!”‘

‘”I really enjoy coming here,” offensive tackle Dion Dawkins said. “I actually like the dorms. I enjoy the close quarters. I enjoy that double bed pushed together. I enjoy renting the TV from Rent-A-Center. But overall, I enjoy the forced camaraderie.”‘

‘”It’ll be fun to see them in action in the preseason. I’m not sure if I’m playing, if I’m playing at all— I guess we’ll find out— but I know that they will be,” Allen said. “We’re excited to go see them perform at a high level.”‘

‘He’s been working hard on making a connection with all of his new pass catchers, but Wednesday, he was asked if he’s been missing Stefon Diggs, his former favorite target who left for the Texans in the offseason.’

‘”We’re going to put a lot on Taylor Rapp,” Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babich said. “He’s done a great job, and we’re going to continue to push him. Definitely, up to this point, he’s answered the bell.”‘

‘His defensive backs coach then was John Butler, who obviously didn’t value Elam. Now, Butler’s gone and Elam’s back.’

‘”Every team I’ve been on, they’re going to be like, ‘Who’s the weirdest guy on the team?’ and they’re going to say Mack,” Hollins said.’

‘”It’s great. Day one, they was out there going crazy, so I was excited just to see everybody out there supporting the team,” he said. “You hear about it so much. No matter where you’re playing, you hear about how much Buffalo fans love their team, but when you’re out there, you actually see it. It’s great to have fans and the culture. Everybody’s dialed in, and everybody’s excited for the season.”‘
