The Bills mined bulletin board material from Pat Shurmur’s assessment of Josh Allen before last year’s draft, when the Giants coach said the quarterback had “a chance to be a starter.”
On Friday, Shurmur wasn’t providing the opponent with any new material.
“I know what I said and my comments were meant to be positive,” Shurmur said Friday before the Giants face Buffalo on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. “I can’t control how some people will interpret them. … My comments were meant to basically give praise. They were interpreted differently.”
Olivier Vernon will return to MetLife Stadium on Monday night — to face the Jets — for the first time since being shipped to Cleveland in March’s Odell Beckham Jr.
