6-15: Bills' GM Brandon Beane on One Bills Live (20:13)
#Bills GM Brandon Beane on the team's radio station on minicamp: "You have to remind yourself that it's shorts and t-shirts."
Brandon Beane: "It's probably not an ideal situation to have a center battle and a QB battle at the same time. I believe you want to be strong up the middle in any sport." #Bills
Beane says the positions you can judge the most in minicamp are skill positions such as RB and WR. Stresses strong hands. But mentions everything is a little bit of "fool's gold" during minicamp. #Bills
Brandon Beane says you want a "diverse" WR group. Mix it up with size and speed. From what I saw through minicamp, it was Kelvin Benjamin and then everyone else moving up and down the depth chart. No clear front-runners heading into training camp. #Bills
Beane - Zay Jones should be close to returning for training camp. Looking forward to seeing him back out there. #Bills
Beane says Zay Jones won't just be thrown in with the 1s upon start of training camp. has to earn spot. Note he's only worked with Nathan Peterman. #Bills
Beane on Zay Jones: "Well first, we'll have to get him back in there, he's missed a lot reps... He'll jump in and have to earn it. He's not going to go to the front of the line, he'll have to earn it." #Bills
Beane - I think Josh has come in and has put his head down, following directions from the coaching staff. He's meshing well into the group. #Bills
Beane on Josh Allen: "He hasn't come in and assumed he expects to start or not to start... he's just meshed in the group (coaches included). He's embraced 'earn the right.'" #Bills
Brandon Beane echos what we've heard from Sean McDermott about Josh Allen: He's a sponge. Loves football and studying the game. Allen himself has said multiple times he's all football. #Bills
Beane - We've taken things cautiously with Trent Murphy, maybe more than he would have liked too. We thought the pro decision would be to give him plenty of time for his knee. We feel he'll be ready to roll. #Bills
Beane on Trent Murphy: "We probably took it very cautiously, maybe too cautiously for Trent... I have no doubt he'll be ready to roll." (Murphy is coming off an ACL injury) #Bills
Beane - We had a hole at MLB, a gaping need. Tremaine Edmunds has done a great job coming in, the vets have embraced him. It's been a trial by fire for him. #Bills
Beane - Star Lotulelei is a very selfless guy. He loves to take on the double and watch his teammates go to work. He's gonna be a big part of what we do on defense. #Bills
Beane - We'll keep an eye on what's out there, but there probably won't be a lot of movement around the league. We're still looking to do whatever to get better as a team. #Bills
Beane - We're always looking to win today and win tomorrow. If there's a move that can help us do that, we'll look to make that move. #Bills
