The local media were on hand to see portions of the Buffalo Bills’ OTAs and mandatory minicamp.

When it came to Josh Allen and the offense, there were some days when the unit was firing on all cylinders and others that were viewed as down days. That is to be expected with a unit that features many new faces in Allen’s second season.

Buffalo focused mostly on offense in free agency. The team brought in six new offensive linemen headlined by center Mitch Morse. The wide receiver unit gained John Brown and Cole Beasley. Brown is expected to stretch the field along with Robert Foster while Beasley will be utilized in the slot. At tight end, Buffalo signed Tyler Kroft and later added one of the best blocking tight ends in the league in Lee Smith. The running back room added two veterans in Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon. Both backs could be part of the Bills’ 2019 running back rotation and Gore’s leadership on and off the field will benefit the team.

In the draft, Buffalo also added offensive lineman Cody Ford, running back Devin Singletary and tight end Dawson Knox within the first three rounds. Based on where they were drafted, all three players could carve out significant roles as rookies.

With so many new faces, chemistry could be a concern. Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, however, doesn’t see many issues with the Bills offense. In fact, the second-year pro says that the unit is clicking well.

In an interview with the Omaha.com’s “The Bottom Line,” Phillips spoke about chasing Josh Allen around the field during practices and the Bills offense heading into training camp.

"Because you can’t hit him, every single time you’re close to him it’s an argument of if you would have got him or not. Every once in a while somebody will get a sack and run by him and be like, ‘Gotcha, sack, sack, sack!’ and then he continues on the play, walks back and says, ‘You think you would have tackled me right there? Hell no!’ So it’s a fun little dynamic. Every quarterback should want to be a pocket passer: Use your arm first, legs second. And we brought in some fantastic offensive linemen, and our offense is clicking so well that hopefully he doesn’t have to rely on his legs so much. He should have some clean pockets that he can step up and show off that he has the strongest arm in the NFL.”

With the start of training camp just 15 days away, fans will soon get a glimpse of Allen and the Bills offense. If the unit continues to click, Buffalo could be a surprise playoff contender in 2019.
