How Bills safety Micah Hyde continues to be instrumental on the field and in the community
‘”I think that we’ve always established a standard around here, just for not only our defense, but I just think internally into our safety room,” Hyde said. “We’ve always kind of had that chip on our shoulder. Guys just trying to prove themselves. So, we feel like it’s on us to set the standard and throughout the years, we continue to try to build off that … We’re going to bounce back this year and obviously have to stay healthy, and we added some depth so that’s good to see.”‘

‘Bock was a member of the so-called Replace-a-Bills, who played briefly for Buffalo during a 1987 strike by NFL players. He tells great stories about his one game, and many more about his long and winding road as a pro football journeyman. Some of these stories are Bills-adjacent: Bock was Scott Norwood’s long snapper for the USFL’s Birmingham Stallions in 1983, and one of Jim Kelly’s centers on the USFL’s Houston Gamblers in 1984. He last played football in 2006, at age 46, for his hometown Rochester Raiders, of the Great Lakes Indoor Football League.’
Bills' Josh Allen says he needs to make changes to his game: 'I can't continue to do this'
‘”I know this sounds crazy, but I’m getting older,” Allen said, via the team’s website. “It’s like I can’t continue to do this. I know when I’m using my youth I feel like I can, but over the course of my career, I’m going to have to learn to adapt and change. And I’ve always had the mindset of I’ve been a football player first and a quarterback second, and at some point that’s going to have to switch. When that point is I don’t know, I guess I’ll let my body tell me.”‘
