Buffalo Bills News and Discussion
‘Q: How’s your rehab going?
A: I’m right where I need to be at this point. The main thing is that when I get to camp, they are going to have to protect me from myself. Put me on the shelf and let me have a taste every now and then. I’m back doing all of the functional things and I’m back doing them 100 percent hard. Now it’s just a matter of getting mentally tough about it.’
‘”I got the heaviest I’ve ever been last year,” said Kelsay. “The main reason behind that was I had to play inside more with Ron (Edwards) getting hurt, and Sam (Adams) getting hurt late in the year. I kind of needed to be a little bigger down in there.”‘
‘The Buffalo Bills would like to announce that the following Buffalo Bills Student Leaders have been selected for the 2006-07 season.’
‘”Dick is about as gracious and humble as anyone I’ve encountered. He really opened up his operation to (line coach) Frank (DeFelice) and I. His staff was gracious, too. He gave us an opportunity to ask questions, sit in on meetings, get into things on the field, and stand right there to see the coaching point and coaching that was going on.”‘
‘The most amazing aspect of Gilchrist’s success in Buffalo is that the team’s passing game was sub-par. During Gilchrist’s three-year tenure with the Bills, quarterbacks Warren Rabb and Jack Kemp threw 36 touchdowns against 60 interceptions. Obviously, numbers like those are enough to make fans sick to their collective stomach. Given those numbers, it’s incredible that Gilchrist was able to accumulate such gaudy stats, since opposing defenses were gunning for him each week.’
‘A free agent selection signed by the Bills on Jan. 19, Jackson is prepared to do everything first-year head coach Dick Jauron asks. The 2003 Coe graduate also plans to compete for a spot on the kickoff return, punt return and punt coverage teams. “This is (Willis) McGahee’s team and I’m just competing for a spot,” said Jackson. “But I want my opportunity. I’ve talked to the coaches and they’re excited about my stats, but the biggest thing they want me to concentrate on is to get the playbook under my belt.”‘
‘Kelly started the camp in 1988 with 325 kids ages 9 to 18. Athletes now come from all over the country to participate in the camp, which stresses the fundamentals of football and educates on a variety of topics including health and nutrition, teamwork, sportsmanship and drug awareness. This is the first year the camp has had a title sponsor, as McDonald’s partnered with Kelly.’
