Two Bills Drive

‘Four years after they drafted quarterback Josh Allen, the Bills started (arguably) the second segment of the Beane/McDermott Era by adding running back James Cook, linebacker Terrel Bernard, wide receiver Khalil Shakir and cornerback Christian Benford in 2022.;

‘This year’s projected Buffalo Bills starting lineup could have 17 players who were drafted by the team. How does that compare to teams from the pre-free agency era of the late 1980s/early 1990s? A closer look at how clubs used the draft, free agency and trades to build a winner…’.

‘Let’s just get this out of the way right now: It was a horrible look for Bosa to be hurt during the spring, no matter how minor his calf injury was. For a player signed to a one-year, prove-it contract mainly because he’s been unable to stay healthy the past three years, Bosa did not get off to a great start in Buffalo. Of course, the Bills need him healthy in January, not June, so all will be forgotten if that happens. At 30 years old, Bosa will want prove to he still has productive years ahead of him.’

‘Here’s a cheat sheet for the Buffalo Bills’ roster entering the 2025 training camp.’

‘The quarterback-center relationship is crucial, and McGovern took over for Mitch Morse in 2024 and seemed to find immediate chemistry with Josh Allen. McGovern led what was the Bills’ best offensive line of the Allen era. Head coach Sean McDermott constantly talks about how important it is to be strong on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Because of that, a contract extension should be a priority for the team.’

‘The Bills didn’t want this. Most teams don’t, especially those with realistic Super Bowl aspirations. Since the docuseries’ inaugural season, just eight of the 24 teams reached the playoffs that season, though that included the reigning Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens in 2001. (Until this year, teams that made the playoffs the previous season were exempt from participating.)’

‘“Our crews are awake and ready to shoot before the players arrive, and they’re there watching the players leave at the end of every day,” Rodgers said. “After a week, I think the team usually realizes the work ethic of our crews and directors and really begin to appreciate what we do to make the show happen.”’

‘All practices will be at St. John Fisher, with the exception being Aug. 1, which will be at Highmark Stadium. Practice times are subject to change, and tickets are required to attend. All seating is general admission, and all tickets are mobile. There is wheelchair accessible seating in the Polisseni grandstand. Training camp opens one hour before practice begins.’

‘The stadium, however, will not, nor should be, a catalyst for an entertainment district. Over the past year, there has been much discussion about the potential of ancillary development around the new stadium. There are reasons this has not happened in the past 50 years and a new venue does not change the equation.’

‘Buckle up, folks, Punter Derby 2025 is about to commence for the Bills and new special teams coordinator Chris Tabor.’

‘Who is the only player to pre-date McDermott’s hiring in 2017?’
