‘”The guys that are on our team, I trust,” said Daboll. “They’ve gone through a thorough evaluation, in this case just training camp and meetings, but they’re here for a reason.”‘

‘”It kind of feels a little ‘college-esque’ in the sense that there’s no preseason games to go off of. Some guys don’t even have NFL tape, so you’re pulling up things from the archives of what they did a year or two ago in college, really.”’

‘What jumps out is Cody Ford, Daryl Williams, and Brian Winters are all listed at right guard.’

‘While the Bills will play without fans for the first two home games of the season, the NFL has mandated that teams use recorded crowd noise at 70 decibels, nothing higher or lower.’

‘”No one has higher expectations on themselves or on this team than me.”

‘”I’m still in shock,” said White. “I can’t put it into words. I have a lot of people and a lot of family that I can change their lives. That’s what I plan to do.”‘

‘With a much better grasp of the offense, Knox says he’ll be able to, “play faster.”‘

‘”We’ll be ready to go,” continued McDermott, “that’s our goal, I’m not into those…however you labeled it.”‘

‘With Dion Dawkins, Sean McDermott and White all receiving new deals this offseason, many fans are hoping Matt Milano is next. Beane ‘hopes’ that is the case but with COVID and future salary cap, the Bills GM couldn’t make any promises. “We love Matt Milano. He’s definitely in our plans,” said Beane. “We hope to keep him long term.”‘

‘It was an expected move as both players are veterans and did not have to clear waivers to sign back with Buffalo.’

‘In a surprising update, Buffalo sent rookie wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins to the injured reserve. The team says Hodgins is dealing with a shoulder injury. The rookie did wear a red non-contact jersey during some training camp practices back in mid August, but since then he had returned to his normal jersey.’

‘Fan favorite and former training camp darling Duke Williams cleared waivers and was placed on the Bills PS. Williams scored the game winning touchdown last season against the Titans.’

‘Right before White arrived in Orchard Park, the Bills watched as Stephon Gilmore not only left in free agency, but signed with the Patriots. The difference was Gilmore could not wait to leave and White loves it in Buffalo. Now the Bills can focus their attention on a player like linebacker Matt Milano who is scheduled to become a free agent at season’s end.

‘”To see the way he commands the huddle. To see the plays he makes. To see the smart decisions… he was an underrated player last year in the media and he’s better this year,” said Phillips. “To see the growth in him from year two to year three just makes me so optimistic about him being my quarterback.”‘

‘”We can’t just be friends inside the facility,” said Marlowe. “You got to be able to know one another outside and when you do that it translates to the field.”‘
