‘Kincaid went up to get an Allen pass in end zone and came down with a score. This could become a familiar sight for Allen and Kincaid in 2024. With all the new faces, Kincaid could be the de facto No. 1 receiver in the Bills’ offense.’

Guelli happy to see Bills training camp evolve in Rochester after helping bring team to St. John Fisher
‘It was a competitive process, we were looking for the best location to have camp. As you can see, this is an incredible place, and Fisher jumped up on the map pretty quickly as the destination,” Guelli said. “Started working with the college, started working with people in the town, and we we’re able to put something together. Even that Year 1, we knew it was going to be a success, the way people turned out, the way they reacted to it. And Rochester is a critical market for us, so it’s always going to be important. To put a stake in the ground in the city with an event like training camp is very important.”‘

I think these guys will rise to the occasion.”’

'Everyone eats': Bills offensive coordinator emphasizing teamwork as key to success
‘”Football is hard,” Brady said Thursday. “You can be the best offense in the NFL, going against the 32nd-ranked team, and it’s still going to be hard to score. That’s just the reality of it. This is the NFL, and when you score touchdowns, it’s not just one person scoring that touchdown. It took a whole drive, and it took 11 people. Part of what I’m trying to emphasize and coach McDermott is trying to emphasize is we have a lot of new guys, but us doing it all together. If we really emphasize that ‘Everyone eats’ mindset, you can see when people score, we celebrate together.”‘

Ryan O'Halloran: Bills' best hope? Combining Same Ol' Josh with New Josh
‘Same Ol’ Josh: He celebrated every touchdown, even the ones he wasn’t involved in. He extended plays and threw darts to the end zone. This is a dude who remains full of energy and joy.
