AFC Notes: Josh Allen, Dalvin Cook, Bills, Dolphins, Jets

Bills

Bills HC Sean McDermott noted that QB Josh Allen is improving in his ability to read opposing defenses from year to year. 

โ€œEvery year, (Allen) is able to process quicker and quicker in terms of how defenses are trying to defend him,โ€ McDermott said. โ€œI just think heโ€™s gotten better every year in terms of his awareness of how the league tries to defend him.โ€ 

Dolphins

Dolphins FB Alec Ingold said the team has a great running back room and would love to add free agent RB Dalvin Cook to the group.

โ€œMan, weโ€™ve got a plethora of backs right now, especially with our second-round pick, Deโ€™Von,โ€ Ingold said, via NFL.com. โ€œWeโ€™ve got Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson, Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed. Weโ€™ve got some dawgs here, so having Dalvin Cook in the mix, that competition breeds excellence, man. You want as much good quality backs as you can possibly have, especially in our offense when guys can really make something happen with it. You can get the ball, you can touch it a million different ways. Youโ€™ve got out of the backfield, youโ€™ve got in the backfield, outside zone, inside zone. Weโ€™re gonna run some routes. More backs! Give me all the backs! Can we have 15 running backs in the training camp room? I would love it.โ€

Jets

Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett said heโ€™s focused on being the โ€œbest version of myselfโ€ possible in New York and is hopeful Aaron Rodgers can play โ€œsome of the best football heโ€™s ever played in his career.โ€ 

โ€œItโ€™s not about me. It isnโ€™t,โ€ Hackett said, via The Season podcast. โ€œThe only thing I would say that it is about me is I just want to be the best version of myself. โ€ฆ If I can then portray that to those players, then theyโ€™re gonna be able to get out on that field and theyโ€™re gonna be able to execute at a high level, and thatโ€™s all that I want. I just want to see Aaron play some of the best football heโ€™s ever played in his career. That was something that was so fun to be a part of when we were at Green Bay, and I want to see him get to where he wants to be, accomplish what he wants to accomplish.โ€

Hackett said Rodgers will have โ€œsome freedomโ€ with how he operates and compared it to the system they ran together with the Packers.

โ€œI think thereโ€™s going to be some freedom with Aaron, and as we moved forward in the Green Bay system, there was definitely more freedom as we went,โ€ Hackett said. โ€œWeโ€™re just gonna continue that because youโ€™ve got to take advantage of a guy like Aaron that is so smart and understands it. So, [weโ€™re] trying to build this thing for him and build it so that when he sees certain things, he can do all kind of stuff and put us in the best position possible.โ€
