Bill Digest: Quotables

“We just have to continue to shape our defense. We have to continue to make sure we’re laying a new foundation. We do have some new pieces up front, and that’s not an excuse, but making sure everyone understands how this defense works and how it’s worked so well for a number of years.” — HEAD COACH SEAN MCDERMOTT on the struggles against the run

1st & Ten with REGGIE GILLIAM

Reggie Gilliam has turned into one of the best underdog stories on the Bills roster this year. The Toledo product entered training camp as a fullback with a long-shot to make the team; he finished training camp as a tight end who, in fact, had made the opening day roster. Gilliam’s lined up in a lot of different roles throughout his playing career — running back, fullback, tight end, standout special teamer — and he’s looking to continue developing as a swiss-army of sorts with the Bills. Bills Digest recently caught up with Gilliam for his thoughts on transitioning to the NFL and his big touchdown catch against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.

Late in the first quarter of Buffalo’s Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins, the CBS TV feed vanished for 20 minutes thanks to a power outage. Stefon Diggs’ first touchdown as a Bill was shrouded in mystery — did it really, actually happen? — and Bills fans (and reporters) were forced to find old radios in their basements.
