The Buffalo Bills are eyeing July 28 for the start of training camp during this most unusual of offseasons. In today’s edition of the Bills daily links, with training camp only ten days away, we examine what we know and what we don’t know about training camp this summer, which will not be held at St. John Fisher College but rather at the team’s facilities in Orchard Park.
We also hear from retired linebacker Lorenzo Alexander about several topics, including the negotiations between the NFL and the Players Association over negotiations on coronavirus testing protocols that could impact the start of training camp and expectations for the Bills in 2020. We take a look at five crucial positional battles to watch during training camp, predict whether Buffalo’s retooled defensive line can turn up the heat and generate more pass rush, explore whether second-year offensive lineman Cody Ford can step up and be the answer at right tackle, discuss why wins are not a quarterback statistic, and much more!
