‘When the Buffalo Bills finally did, Ganz said he took full advantage of his two-day tryout with the franchise earlier this month. “I thought I did really well,” Ganz said. “I felt like I did all the things I was supposed to do, but you just never know. The Bills have about a week-and-a-half left to call and let me know if they want me to attend training camp. If it doesn’t work out with Buffalo, maybe another NFL team will call. I’ve even given some thought to playing in the Canadian Football League. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”‘

‘What he imparted to the campers at the Bogg last week was that he couldn’t have made that recovery without God. He wasn’t talking about some miraculous healing or anything like that, but about how his faith gave him the will to keep trying and keep going to physical therapy, even after two months of being bed-ridden.’

‘”We did not have a lot of sacks and we had some pressures and we had a lot of balls on the turf that we did not capture,” said defensive coordinator Perry Fewell. “We did not take advantage of that opportunity to get the ball. That’s definitely going to be an emphasis for us. Hopefully we can increase our production in sacks as well as turnovers.”‘

‘"There is more to being a defensive end in the National Football League than sacks," Kelsay said. "Schobel’s a sack guy and even he says that. But at the same time, sacks are very important because a lot of times they change momentum and cause turnovers. And at the defensive end position, a lot of emphasis is on us getting to the quarterback."’

‘The stage is now set for a terrific training camp battle involving Florence, Corner and Ashton Youboty, who emerged with the job last summer.’

‘"I think we certainly are a better football team. We all have one common goal here and I’ve talked about it many times and that’s playing football in deep January. We feel very good as an organization, excited where the organization is headed." — Bills COO/GM Russ Brandon.’
