”’I don’t see myself as having an ego,” Holcomb said. ”I know what the situation is. He’s a young guy and they brought him here to be the guy. I’ve got to help him as much as I can.”’

‘”The organization is great,” said DeMulling. “Everything I’ve seen from them [shows] they are great people. Going back to the Colts, that’s all I’ve known so far. Their front office reminds me a lot of the Colts and the way they bring in people and who they bring in.”‘

‘DeMulling was a 7th round draft choice out of Idaho, taken in the 2001 draft. He’s a versatile player with experience at center in the NFL, and at tackle during his college days.’

‘2004: Started 11 games at LG for Colts … missed weeks 10-12 with a chest injury and weeks 16-17 with a rib injury … started both post season contests at LG.’

‘Second-year man J.P. Losman may or may not be ready for the full-time No. 1 job. If he struggles, it will be interesting to see how quickly coach Mike Mularkey will turn to Holcomb.’

‘Holcomb has appeared in just 28 games in five seasons, but has been productive when given opportunities to play. Holcomb doesn’t have a great arm and limited athleticism. But he is a smart player who makes the right defensive reads and usually makes sound decisions with the ball. While he’s not expected to beat out Losman for the starting job, the Bills hope Holcomb will provide enough stiff competition to make Losman better.’
