Newly-signed Joey Bosa met with the Buffalo media for the first time, and he spent plenty of time chatting through his decision, what he can bring to the team, and why he's excited to be a part of the Bills. For Buffalo fans, there's a ton of reason to be excited.
If he's healthy and able to stay on the field for the whole season, Bosa's opportunity to make a big difference is a strong one.
"Josh [Allen] texted me that, you know, that if we do what we set out to do, we could really be immortalized. That's what it's all about, is winning a championship. I think that's why people are here," Bosa said.
"We're going to dive into more of the details on that plan for me, but we obviously have a couple of other great edge guys here, which I think is important for that position, to be able to rotate, trust the guys behind you, and be able to take some blow off of each other," Bosa continued when asked about his role. "So when you're out there, you can play at a really high level, play fast, play fresh. So I think we're gonna all try to be smart and not run ourselves into the ground and, you know, be out there, obviously, in the most important moments."
"And I feel really healthy right now. And I don't know the exact plan, but I plan to be a starter here," he continued. "I plan to help any way that they need me, but I know that rushing and playing the edge, it definitely helps when you have other great guys around you, you can kind of rotate and feed off of each other. So I think that's a big part of why I chose to come here, because I really liked the group around me. I think it's a long season, and you don't want to be playing 70 plays every single game. Hit that sweet spot around 35-40 plays, and play all of them at a really high level."
Bosa is really confident in his abilities getting after the passer, and spending his entire career in the AFC West, he has a lot of experience going up against a certain quarterback in Kansas City that the Bills keep meeting in the playoffs. While Bosa knows he won't be able to do it all himself, there's plenty of reason to believe the can be a difference maker up front.
