Buffalo Rumblinks, 8/11: Lessons learned from preseason Week 1
The Buffalo Bills suffered a 34-25 setback vs. the New York Giants in the NFL preseason opener for both teams, in a game that saw most of Buffalo's starters play for roughly one quarter of action. While reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen watched from the sidelines, incumbent backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and challenger Mike White combined to pass for 250 yards and three touchdowns as both stated their case to earn the backup role behind Allen. Today's edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining other thoughts and observations from the preseason opener, including which players saw their stock rise and whose stock is on the decline following the loss to the Giants. Lessons learned from preseason Week 1 For players looking to make an impression on general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott, the preseason opener offered a valuable opportunity to showcase their skills while going up against another NFL team. And there were several players who enjoyed standout performances, including: defensive end Joey Bosa, rookie defensive back Jordan Hancock, rookie defensive tackles Deone Walker and T.J. Sanders, wide receivers Tyrell Shavers and K.J. Hamler, running back Ty Johnson, linebacker Joe Andreessen, and returner Laviska Shenault. Among those who struggled in their first game action of the year were: tight ends Zach Davidson and Jackson Hawes, rookie cornerback Dorian Strong, rookie defensive end Landon Jackson, center Jacob Bayer, and punter Brad Robbins. One area of concern on defense was the Bills lack of an answer to the Giants' screen game, and Buffalo's inability to convert on third down (1-of-11) and get off the field on third down (9-for-19). More important than any on-field development, the Bills managed to avoid the injury bug, with nickel cornerback Taron Johnson leaving the game early but being cleared from the concussion protocol during the contest.

Impressions from Buffalo Bills' mandatory minicamp
On Thursday, the Buffalo Bills wrapped up their three-day mandatory minicamp at the team's practice facilities in Orchard Park, NY, concluding phase three of the team's offseason workout program. The Bills will next get together as a team for training camp later this summer at St. John Fisher University in Rochester, NY. Today's edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with thoughts on the lessons we learned and the players who made a lasting impression at Buffalo's mandatory minicamp. Buffalo Bills conclude mandatory minicamp Among the standouts from Thursday's session was third-year tight end Dalton Kincaid, who made several impressive catches and continues to demonstrate that his offseason commitment to getting bigger and stronger is paying dividends. Advertisement Among the other takeaways and observations from mandatory minicamp: general manager Brandon Beane expects Pro Bowl running back James Cook 'will be ready to roll' when training camp opens; despite a slew of spring injuries, the Bills think they will be at full strength at training camp; veteran cornerback Tre'Davious White endured some struggles during minicamp and the race to start opposite Christian Benford appears to be wide open; the backup quarterback competition between Mitchell Trubisky and Mike White bears watching; and depth players like linebacker Joe Andreessen, wide receiver Jalen Virgil and tight end Keleki Latu stood out in their efforts to make the 53-man roster.
