Buffalo Bills News - July 30, 2010

Maybin cheap shot fires up Bills O-line [12:36 PM]
ESPN reports: '"Give back some of that money you ain't [expletive] earned!" Wood screamed at the defensive huddle.'

Bills C Hangartner, LB Maybin scuffle at practice [11:48 AM]
AP reports: 'As Jackson yelled out, "C'mon, man," Hangartner ran over and straight-armed Maybin across the helmet. The two then exchanged several shoves and Maybin got in a punch on Hangartner as they tangled on the ground before being separated by teammates.'

A fresh start...with less buzz [11:32 AM]
Finger Lakes Times reports: 'Wide receivers used brooms locked behind their backs and pinned in-between their forearms to restrict their hands while fighting around cornerbacks.'

Trent is center of attention [4:23 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Well, he just made a lot more plays that we thought were positive plays during the course of the minicamps and OTAs," Gailey said. "He did a good job of handling the team. He did a good job when he had the threes, as well as when he had the ones. And that was impressive to me, to be able to go out there and work with whoever he was throwing with."'

Bills' camp is off to quiet start [4:22 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Terrell Owens is gone, and apparently, so is the buzz. Last year, there were constant cheers whenever Owens tied his shoe laces. On Thursday, a long completion or defensive play barely drew a reaction from the onlookers.'

The billboard: A daily dose from training camp [4:21 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills practiced in full pads, a stark departure from the Dick Jauron era, in which they went at least two practice days without pads before breaking out the hits.'

Trent Edwards starts as No. 1 QB for Buffalo Bills [4:20 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"After evaluating all the OTA and mini-camp things, we just felt that Trent deserved to start training camp with the first group," Gailey said after the Bills opened their 11th training camp at St. John Fisher College in front of a small crowd that baked under a bright afternoon sun.'

Buffalo Bills linemen Demetrius Bell, Eric Wood take practice field [4:20 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"I think a lot of people were (thinking that)," Wood said. "People thought I'd be out a lot longer, but over the past few months it has really come along quickly. Now it's just about getting better and getting back to where I was last year and beyond that."'

Buffalo Bills fans optimistic on opening day of camp [4:19 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"It is nice to see expected leaders like Leodis McKelvin drop to his knees and bang out some push-ups right along with lesser-known players like Lydell Sargeant," said Viavattine, a 28-year-old Rochester resident. "There may be a lot of questions regarding the overall talent of this team and how many wins they can put together, but it looks like they are going to work hard and you have to be encouraged by that."'

Healthy linemen joining fray for Bills [4:17 AM]
Niagara Gazette reports: 'Wood was a limited participant at the team’s final minicamp in May. On Thursday, it was left tackle Demetrius Bell, less than eight months removed from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, who dressed for practice but sat out the full-team drills. “I feel pretty good,” Bell said. “I don’t think I’m far off, but still, I have a ways to get back totally.”'

So it begins: Bills kick off training camp [4:16 AM]
Canandaigua Daily Messenger reports: '“I told the players, I thought we were a little sluggish out there,” Gailey said. “It was the first day with pads on, first practice, they’re trying to get back into it carrying pads and that’s not an easy thing all the time. But I thought the mental retention that we had during the course of practice was very good.”'

Practice Notes - Day 1 [9:07 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '“It was just a little bit different style,” said Trent Edwards. “A little different set up, some longer periods here and there, some shorter periods here and there. For the most part the one big thing was we haven’t been in pads when Dick (Jauron) was here the past few years and now we’re padded up and we’re going full go right away and that’s kind of the mentality here where we’re hitting and banging heads right away and that’s kind of the attitude we’re going to take.”'

Bills LB Kelsay hurts shoulder on 1st day of camp [5:18 PM]
AP reports: 'Without providing any details of the injury, coach Chan Gailey says Kelsay “will be out a little while,” but didn’t know for how long.'

Buffalo Bills training camp, from A to Z [5:15 PM]
Canandaigua Daily Messenger reports: 'Zero: That’s how many Super Bowl wins the Bills have, and even though training camp is a time when hope springs eternal, the chances of the Bills winning this year’s Super Bowl are zilch (but we hope they prove us wrong).'

QB pecking order has Edwards at top [5:11 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '“After evaluating all of the OTA and minicamp things we felt like Trent deserved to start the training camp with the first group and we’ll have the other two guys, (Ryan) Fitz(patrick) and Brian (Brohm) alternating with the twos during the course of the first few weeks here,” said head coach Chan Gailey. “And then we’ll get Levi (Brown) as many reps as we can get him.”'

QB Trent Edwards opens Bills camp as starter [3:27 PM]
AP reports: 'Edwards had a majority of practice time in the first 45 minutes of the Bills first practice Thursday, and opened each of the individual drills by taking the first snap. Coach Chan Gailey said last month he intended to open camp by establishing a pecking order after providing his three quarterbacks equal time during the team’s offseason minicamps.'

Bills place DE Schobel on ‘Did Not Report’ list [1:47 PM]
AP reports: 'The team also placed safety Jon Corto (broken wrist) and linebacker Nic Harris (knee) on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list. They can be activated for practice once healthy.'

Schobel on DNR list; Corto, N. Harris on Active/PUP [1:46 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Schobel’s designation removes him from the active roster so he does not count toward the 80-man roster limit.'

Local fans ready for training camp [11:46 AM]
Canandaigua Daily Messenger reports: '“It’s a lot of fun,” Bromley said. “You get to see the team before the start of the season, it’s not an opportunity you have that often. A lot of times the players come over and talk with you. They make the experience more enjoyable.”'

For better or worse, these are true Buffalo Bills fans [8:44 AM]
Canandaigua Daily Messenger reports: '“Most of my friends aren’t Bills fans, so sometimes I don’t have a group to watch the game with,” Franklin said. “It’s a lot different from when I first started watching during the Jim Kelly and Super Bowl years. I think Bills fans were spoiled by that a little bit.”'

Inside slant [6:39 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: 'None of the above situations will transpire to their full potential if Buffalo's line doesn't come together and fast.'

Strategy and personnel [6:38 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: 'Spiller, picked ninth overall out of Clemson, was the first running back selected, which gives him and agent Gary Wichard some bargaining power.'

Notes, quotes [6:37 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: '"I'm going to try and get some rest. We've been going pretty hard since I got here on Jan. 18 or whenever it was. So we're going to try and get some rest and get ready to go 24/7 for seven months." -- Coach Chan Gailey on his plans prior to training camp.'

If Bills are to rebound under Gailey, running game will be key [6:11 AM]
NFL.com reports: 'It won't be easy spending the preseason deciding how to divide the responsibilities on what should be one of the league's most explosive running games. But one thing remains obvious: If Gailey is to get the Bills to the postseason for the first time in over a decade, the charge will be led by their dynamic crop of runners.'

Players carry different vibe into camp [6:08 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '“Every coach is different, obviously, but there is a sense of a new beginning this year,” said Chris Kelsay, who is on his fifth coach in eight years with the Bills. “Coach (Chan) Gailey and his staff, I believe, bring more of a disciplinary feel to, not only the meeting rooms, the practice field, obviously, but the entire atmosphere around the organization. I think that’s what we need.”'

C.J. Spiller absent as Buffalo Bills hit camp [6:08 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"There's a reason that first-rounders are signed about the same time, so it's not unusual," General Manager Buddy Nix said Wednesday, alluding to the fact that the domino slotting has to start taking shape. "We hold out hope that he'll be here when we start the first day at 3 tomorrow."'

Aaron Schobel may scrap retirement, return to Buffalo Bills [6:07 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"Not one bit," Nix said. "The only way I find out is when I read the paper. I have no idea what his change of heart is. He doesn't have to be here until 7 in the morning (today), and if he's not here, then he's late. If he comes, fine. If he doesn't, then fine. It's up to him. He's a good football player and we'd like to have him."'

Buffalo Bills tackle switch to a 3-4 defense [6:07 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"Of all the changes we've made, that will be the easiest one for our football team," Gailey pronounced last month near the end of the organized team activities. "It's football; whip that guy in front of you and get to the football."'

Kicking off [6:06 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'The Buffalo Bills begin their 11th season of training camp at St. John Fisher College today. The Bills have 19 open practices scheduled, beginning with today's afternoon session. Admission to practices is free. Training camp is scheduled to conclude with a morning practice on Aug. 24.'

Trent Edwards leads 3-ring circus at QB [6:05 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Unless Brohm blows Gailey away over the next six weeks, or Fitzpatrick shows that he has added about five miles per hour to his fastball, or Edwards completely tanks, the odds are that Edwards will take that first snap Sept. 12 against Miami.'
