‘On the 20th, you can get your free tickets for the July 30th practice. On August 1st, you be able to get your tickets for either the August 15th or 22nd practice.’

‘"I’m still making it," Vincent said. "It’s been a challenge, but the offseason has been good from a mental standpoint, and not being thrust into the position as I was a year ago. … I’ve had an opportunity to get in my books, learn it, and become very, very comfortable with at least the foundation of the defense and the terminology."

‘Over/Under: 8.5 [wins]

‘Although ESPN’s John Clayton, who joined Brian Koziol Monday night on WGR 550, said that the Seahawks are tied up with Shawn Alexander and getting involved in any move for Travis Henry just wouldn’t make much sense at this point. Clayton also said that he still expects Henry to most likely end up with either Tennessee or Jacksonville. Clayton feels that the Bills probably will receive a 3rd round pick in exchange for Henry.’

‘Saturday July 30th – 12:30 PM.’
