Two Bills Drive

‘Quarterback Rob Johnson will miss at least two days of practice after spraining the index finger of his right, throwing hand.’

‘Looking for offensive line depth, the Miami Dolphins signed former Buffalo Bills guard Jamie Nails on Wednesday.’

Just in case some of us like to plan that far in advance!!

He may miss the reminder of camp but will be ready for season opener. What a surprise. The same old show, just on a different channel….

‘And now, Carpenter’s fighting spirit has elevated him from roster long shot as an undrafted rookie to a vital member of the Bills’ defense.’

‘Johnson will be held out of today’s morning practice, but might return for the afternoon session. For the moment, he is expected to start Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

‘While Johnson was taken quickly to the locker room for treatment and was not made available to the media, it appears his latest injury wasn’t as serious as it looked and he will play in Saturday’s preseason game against Philadelphia at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

‘Budding tattoo artist. Owner of painted finger nails. Cultivator of creative facial hair designs, like the 6-inch goatee that wanted desperately out of his chin strap.’

‘Right now he’s best known to fans as "the guy wearing Jonathan Linton’s old jersey (No. 35)," not Alabama’s best back in 1997 that was a fourth-round pick by the Super Bowl champion Broncos in the 1998 draft.’

‘Flowers was hit on the knee on a cut block and had "significant swelling," coach Gregg Williams said. "All indications are that things will be fine."’

‘The Bills returned to practice Tuesday afternoon following Sunday’s game with the Rams, and they got a little bit of a scare when quarterback Rob Johnson left practice early after suffering an injury in drills. However, coach Gregg Williams said his injury wasn’t serious and wouldn’t keep Johnson out for a significant length of time.’

‘"It looks like Rob banged that jammed (index) finger again," Williams said. "We’ll go ahead and treat it and ice it. After a good practice today, we were going to hold him out tomorrow anyway."’

‘"It shows that he has some confidence in me," Price said. "Coach Williams and I have a great relationship. He’s on me a lot. He wants me to perform well. He thinks that I can perform at a high level, and that’s basically what he was throwing out there. It’s time for me to step up and have a big year."’

‘"Overall, we have a lot to work on and point to next week," Williams said as Buffalo resumes practicing at St. John Fisher College outside of Rochester, N.Y., on Tuesday. "We have to go back to training camp and concentrate on correcting the little things."’

‘With a new West Coast Offensive scheme under head Coach Gregg Williams and a new starting quarterback , Rob Johnson, it seems things are about to change for the Buffalo Bills. The players that will stand out and make the Bills final roster are the ones who step up here in the preseason.’
