‘"There is only one place that I would even consider going to and that’s Houston because it’s so close to home and I know the defense and I know Bill [Kollar, the Texans’ defensive line coach who held the same job in Buffalo]," Schobel said. "But I don’t even know if I’d play in Houston at this point. I really wanted to finish my career in Buffalo."’

‘Gailey made it clear he’s open to meeting with Lynch, all Lynch has to do is make the first move. “Always. I’d like to meet with every player we’ve got. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t, that’s life,” Gailey said.’

‘So what could’ve ranged from a knee injury to a high-ankle sprain now appears to have been just a contusion. Wang has been spotted walking with only a slight limp. Gailey wouldn’t speculate on whether Wang was breathing a sigh of relief. “It’s a relief for us as coaches, though,” he said.’

‘The Bills held an open practice at Ralph Wilson Stadium on June 5 that drew 4,500 fans. Coach Chan Gailey liked the atmosphere but didn’t think it affected his team’s practice performance in any way. “That’s the way they practiced the whole time,” he said. “You’d like to make 40 big plays and 20 interceptions, but you don’t get that. I thought that they concentrated and it was good. To me, it was good for the guys to be out here and have the fans out here and it adds a little bit of spark to practice. That was good.”‘

‘"It definitely makes you bring out your best," Moats said of the NFL. "In college, in practices, you’re better than most of the guys you’re going against. Yeah, you (can) take some plays off in practice. Not at this level. Every play you have to be at full speed, your best rep. Otherwise you’re going to get embarrassed."’

‘Right now, it’s unlikely the Bills could get a third-round draft pick for their troubled former Pro Bowl participant … an irony since it was rumored that’s what was offered for him on the eve of the draft.’
