Buffalo Bills Training Camp Pressers: Day 2 Recap

The Buffalo Bills are back for day 2 of training camp at St.John Fisher University. The Bills held four total press conferences starting with second year offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey before practice. After practice the Bills held three more press conferences with RB James Cook, WR Gabe Davis and TE Dawson Knox. This is a recap of all of the Bills pressers from day 2 of training camp. 

Ken Dorsey 

Ken Dorsey had the first press conference of the day at 9:00 A.M. EST. Dorsey started off the presser saying he wants WR Gabe Davis to do multiple things from short, intermediate and deep routes to throw opposing defense’s “off-balance” and believes he can do those things. Dorsey said “there’s a vision” for rookie TE Dalton Kincaid and that they don’t want to rush his development. Dorsey added, Kincaid has tremendous route running ability and body control in and out of cuts. Dorsey keened in on RAC (run after catch) and creating separation in the offense and he believes the pass catchers can do that. 

When Ken Dorsey was asked about Stefon Diggs and if he feels things are resolved he replied with, “Stef’s been great” and continued by saying he is a “tremendous human being.” Dorsey said that James Cook continues to grow and they are excited to see what he can do with his versatility and be a “every down back.” Ken Dorsey finished his pressers by talking about ball security and that it all ties together and a lot of things go into ball security, “it’s never one individual when talking about ball security.” 

Gabe Davis 

Gabe Davis started off his press conference talking about his ankle injury he sustained last season which held him back. Davis said he felt like he lost a step because of the injury but stated he feels great now and his ankle is 100 percent. Davis said it “means a lot,” that head coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane trust him in the WR2 role. 

Gabe Davis said newly acquired receiver Deonte Harty is explosive, later he went on to say that he believes this year will be a good year for James Cook. Davis said he sees Dalton Kincaid having fun and he’s a great player and that Dawson Knox and Kincaid can feed off each other. 

James Cook 

James Cook when asked if it feels different coming into this year: “No not really it’s football, something I was born to do, just come in each day and work.” Cook said he feels more confident in what he is doing and just being himself. Cook said he learned a lot from Devin Singletary last season, “just how he came in and worked everyday… just being patient.” 

When asked about his brother (Dalvin Cook) visiting with the Jets and how the sibling rivalry would be, “It’s no difference I’m trying to beat him too just like he beat me, he is an enemy but he is my brother…if we play each other, we play each other.” Cook added later that Dalvin (Cook) gave him advice to keep getting better each and everyday, be the best version of himself and be himself. 

Dawson Knox 

Dawson Knox kicked off his press conference talking about his relationship with Dalton Kincaid saying, “His personality is just awesome, he fits right in with our culture, our room and he’s the type of guy you would want to hangout with outside of football too.” Knox added he is always asking what he can do for the room, he wants to make sure he’s doing the right things, “He’s always early and one of the last ones to leave.” 

Dawson Knox said Kincaid is already a very natural route runner, great feel for the defense along with great hands and that it’s really fun having Kincaid alongside him. Lastly when asked about any changes he’s seen early on, on the defensive side of the ball with Sean McDermott now calling plays Knox said, “All that stuff is still coming together, they do a great job disguising different coverage’s.” Knox said they’ve seen more stunts by the defensive lineman and the safeties are moving around and rotating, he believe’s McDermott is doing an “incredible” job.
