Respectful Young is here to learn [4:10 AM]

"From Fitz, from Jax [Fred Jackson], it's a long list of guys. I definitely won't make that comment again because it was definitely blown out of proportion. It's just to show you that it's the respect I have for the players that were around in that locker room."'

Bills bet rebounding Young has a lot in reserve [4:09 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"My whole thing is that I use it as motivation to silence my doubters," he said. "I have a huge doubter base. I used to feed into that but my biggest thing is not feeding into that. You can't make everybody happy. The only people you can make happy is your family members, your coaching staff and your teammates. The ones you do love. Those are the ones I focus on, everything else I just put too much focus on. I don't really watch it and I don't get to hear it until someone texts it to me or someone tells me. I kind of use that as fuel."'

Humbled QB Young happy to backup for Bills [4:04 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '"All you can do is come in and work," Young said when he spoke to the media on Tuesday afternoon. "This league is crazy injury-wise. I’m not wishing that on him, he’s our starting quarterback and I’m behind him 100 percent so the biggest thing is not just at my position, at every position on the football field you have to be always ready because you never know what’s going to happen."'

I think this Young thing can work [4:03 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'I’m not naïve, I know the Bills organization will be under siege if #14 struggles. Fans love the backup quarterback, they always do. There will be a QB controversy outside the doors of One Bills Drive. Nix and Gailey have already gotten testy the first time they talked about their new QB. If they’re going to keep this running smoothly and not let Young be a distraction, they must do better than that, but I don’t think the distraction will be Young himself. He’s come too far to let that happen.'

Polian Shares Bills Memories [4:02 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '“The most telling moves were the early ones” he responded. “The hiring of Marv. Without him none of what came about would happen. The signing of Jim Kelly was so symbolic.

With the signing of Kelly, it turned everything around from a psychological standpoint.”'

Young Embraces Backup Role With Bills [4:01 AM]

Buddy (Nix), (David) Lee, and the coaching staff, and Andy Reid over there, everybody's getting the perception of who I really am as a person so that's all I care about."'

Expertise of Gailey, Lee sold Young [3:59 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '“I just really respect Coach Gailey and Coach Lee,” Young told Buffalobills.com. “I got a chance to work with some great guys over my years. Coach (Mike) Heimerdinger, may he rest in peace, and coach Andy Reid and Marty Morhninweg, two guys that read their history, done some great things and coached some great quarterbacks. So I thought this was an opportunity for myself to come in and learn some more knowledge on being the best I can be as a quarterback. That’s the biggest thing I was thinking about to up my skill level some more working with these guys.”'

I had a chance to watch the guys play a lot last year on film because pretty much the guys who they were playing we were right behind when I was in Philly (Philadelphia). As well as with Coach Gailey and Coach D. Lee, I call him, Coach (David) Lee. I know he’s been trying to recruit me for a long time since I was coming out of high school to come to Arkansas. To get a chance to come here to study, work hard and listen to the knowledge that they have to bring to the game, my game, make my game even better I thought that was a great opportunity for myself.'

BuffaloBills.com reports: '“Day one it was all I could do to think about getting the ball to the quarterback and thinking about the plays and footwork and the defense and that stuff wasn’t really happening,” he said. “I had some narrow tunnel vision, but as the days went on I didn’t have to think about the snap, it became automatic, so I could start looking to see where the defensive tackles were and then I could see where the linebackers were. The last day I felt real comfortable to see what the whole defense was doing.”'

WGRZ-TV reports: 'During rookie camp, Brooks has been working on the left side with top draft choice Stephon Gilmore on the right. When Brooks makes a play he loves to hear it from the crowd. "It just excites me knowing that the fans are behind you that just gives you more confidence to go out there and do what you do and that's what I fed off of. At LSU the fan base was amazing so hopefully I'll be able to come up here and the fans give me that same energy and I give the same energy back to our fans and hopefully get us a Super Bowl."'

The hardest thing was kind of figuring out the concepts. There are really a lot of different playbooks. Coming out trying to learn on the fly was pretty tough but it was pretty fun just getting out and finally playing football because the last couple of months have been kind of tough just training, training and training. So it's fun to finally get to football, the game that you love.” As far as what he has to do first Graham said, “Learn the playbook. I'm a perfectionist so I like to be perfect. I'm harder on myself more than anybody else. Learn the plays. I know I can run and do everything else so learning the plays would be the toughest thing so that's my goal."'
