‘The 4th of July is a time to enjoy fireworks, barbecues, family and friends. The Buffalo Bills use the holiday to appreciate their time at home. After all, these are their days to relax before the stress and hard work of training camp kick in at the end of the month. Some of the Bills prefer to stay low key and watch fireworks at home with their family.’

‘QB Rob Johnson — The Bills made the right decision in making Johnson their starter and letting Doug Flutie walk. Now it’s time for Johnson to show that he can be a legitimate starter. He has all the tools, but he has had trouble staying healthy, some say because he holds the ball far too long. That’s a criticism to some, but isn’t that also an indication of his desire to make a play? Now that the Bills have adopted a version of the West Coast offense, Johnson should have a better chance of staying healthy. Plus, he doesn’t have to worry about the pain from all the knives in his back courtesy of Flutie.’

‘Williams’ was really excited about our offense. He said that we had so many weapons that teams are going to have a real hard time defending the field. He was especially high on Centers, Riemersma, and Moulds. He said that Peerless has been impressive in camp, but he has to take his game to a higher level this year. He said that he expected great things from him.’

26. Bills. This is Rob Johnson’s team after the departure of Flutie. Johnson was a better fit for the new offense, but now he must stay healthy. Backup support comes from Alex Van Pelt, Pete Gonzalez and Tim Hasselbeck.
