Bledsoe’s rough, tumble ways earn Bills’ respect

”’Drew has so much presence in the huddle,” said Centers, in his 13th NFL season. ”In every game, there’s a lull in your mentality, a time when you’re doing your job, but you’re just chugging along. That’s when the quarterback steps in and makes sure that everybody’s light is turned on. That’s what they mean by ‘field general.’ Drew’s got all that and then some.”‘

Drew Bledsoe, Kerry Collins, Brian Urlacher Win NFL Awards

‘Buffalo quarterback Drew Bledsoe was named the AFC’s Offensive Player of the Week, while teammate Mike Hollis won the award for special teams and Pittsburgh linebacker Joey Porter was honored for defense.’

Special teams aren’t so special anymore

‘Once, rosters were so fixed that DeHaven estimated half of his coverage units on Buffalo’s Super Bowl clubs had at least five years of experience. In fact, there was so little mystery to DeHaven’s units that special-teams coach Mike Westhoff — once with Miami, now with the Jets — told DeHaven he didn’t bother previewing videotapes of the Bills. He knew the players, and he knew what they’d do.’

Bills can’t rely on Bledsoe to do it all

‘"It’s exciting, (the offense) scoring 35-40 points a game, making it easy for us," Winfield said. "Giving up 30-some points a game, you’re not going to win many games on the field like that."’

Buffalo Bills/Denver Broncos Injury Report

Bills have no injuries to report. Broncos have five players listed as probable.

Alumni Update: Shane Nelson

Nelson not only beat the odds and made the Bills, but he started every game, totaled 168 tackles and was named to the All-Rookie team. Two seasons later with Buffalo using a 3-4 defensive alignment, he racked up an incredible 192 tackles and anchored the middle next to Jim Haslett, who was in his first year. Add another rookie, nose tackle Fred Smerlas, and Western New York became home to its own ‘Bermuda Triangle.’

Uni Watch – Another Review

By now you’ve seen the league’s new uniforms, which range from the good (the Texans and the Redskins’ 70th-anniversary throwback home unis) to the very bad (the Seahawks) to the mixed bag (the Bills, whose unsightly new home duds are offset by their sharp new road outfits).

Chris Mortensen answered one of TSW’s posters questions

Question from chat with Mark (UB2SF)

Mark (SF): How do you like Buffalo’s chances against Denver this weekend? I think it will be another physical, heartstopping shootout for the Bills, with a decent chance of a “W”. Keep up the great work, Mort!

Mortensen: The Bills have been lighting it up, but it’s tough to win in Denver. I think it probably depends on how intense the Broncos come out after two very good, tough games against the Rams and 49ers. The Bills will make everybody they play pretty uncomfortable.

Bills WR Josh Reed A Candidate For Pepsi NFL Rookie Of Week Honors

The winner is determined entirely by fan voting on NFL.com which ends later today. As of this morning, Josh was the leading candidate with 38.6% of the vote and was ahead of Chargers LB Ben Leber (20.4%), Panthers DE Julius Peppers (19.6%), Saints WR Donte Stallworth (12.2%) and Giants TE Jeremy Shockey (9.2%).

Two Bills Selected For Player Of The Week Honors

Two Bills players have earned AFC Player of the Week honors for their performances in last Sunday’s 45-39 overtime victory at Minnesota. Quarterback Drew Bledsoe was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week while kicker Mike Hollis earned Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

Special teams coach learns to fasten seat belt

‘"It’s the nature of the beast," Smith said. "I’m directly responsible. You’re eligible every single play to make something happen on special teams. It can go for you or against you. I tell the players, "You have to do it now. You have one play. You have to be on top of your game.’"’

Williams makes his point about conversion

‘"A two-point conversion, we felt we could get up six points," Williams said Tuesday. "Knowing if we didn’t get it, we would still be a field goal (from tying). Obviously, it’s a double-edge sword. We were trying to make it a six-point game."’

Teague has found new home at center

‘Buffalo offensive line coach Ronnie Vinklarek singled out Teague for handling Minnesota’s four- and-five-man rushes. "Trey Teague did an outstanding job with communication," Vinklarek said. "You have to realize, he’s a first-time center playing just his second game at the position."’

Nothing special about Bills’ special teams

‘But the Bills’ special teams have disintegrated into some of the worst. "That’s why I’m shocked," Bush said. "Because I know how much (Williams) pays attention to detail, and he won’t let anything slip past him. When they let up the first kick return for a touchdown against the Jets, I could see them saying, "OK, so I made a mistake.’ But two blows me away. I learned a lot of the stuff I know from Gregg. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not in that room getting after them again this week."’

Bledsoe and Hollis honored

‘Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe is the AFC’s Offensive Player of the Week and Bills kicker Mike Hollis has earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for their roles in Sunday’s 45-39 overtime win at Minnesota.’
