Two Bills Drive

‘My mindset is to just come in here and contribute anyway I can. Throughout this mini-camp I can find out different things they want to do with me, getting the offense down and trying to be productive.’

‘On the entire team participating in mini-camp:

It shows commitment on their part, that it is important to them. Obviously it’s an advantage if they’re here, they get another chance to get an install period in. It is good that they are all here at the same time, especially at some of those positions like offensive line where they can be together and hear it and go against a defense such as ours. It’s a huge advantage for us.’

‘It’s the first day, it’s hard to say a whole lot. The veterans, we’ve actually gotten a lot of work done prior to this. I thought the first couple units were reasonably sharp, but obviously when you get bunch of young guys out there for the first time, it’s going to be a little rough around the edges. It looks like we’ve got some guys that have some tremendous talent.’

‘The event coincides with the team’s annual "Select-A-Seat" day at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Potential season ticket holders will have the chance to try some of the best seats on for size from 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Over 3,000 of the best available seats will be tagged and ready for purchase.’

“It’s comforting to know that you are in that situation,” Losman said. “Any young quarterback wants to show the nation, his coaches and the players that he can do it at a young age. Here we have a quarterback with a solid foundation, and I’m not going to argue with it or compare myself or anything.

As many of you know by now, WNSA ceased to exist today as we have known it. On behalf of all of the employees at WNSA, I wanted to thank all of you who have listened to the station and supported us over the last 4 years. Whether it was my show, Jim Brinson, Zig, the Larry Felser show, Steve Tasker or the Bills post game shows, we have always received tremendous support from Bills fans.

To the people who run Two Bills Drive, I wanted to let you know this site has been a very valuable tool in my daily preparation for the show thanks to the many articles that are linked here. Also, some of you may have noticed that some of the show topics came from different discussions at the Stadium Wall. Some of them have been very entertaining.

Again, thank you all for your support of WNSA and for the many emails and calls we have received wishing us well in addition to the posts at this site. We will all be fine and hope to continue working in Buffalo.

‘"I was looking for a sixth or seventh round pick," the 305-pound, 6-5 two-year All Southland Conference tackle said. "Figured I’d go to either the Bears, Texans or 49ers. "When it didn’t happen, I still felt somehow, some way I was going to get my chance." The chance came at about 5 p.m. Sunday when his agent, Ian Greengross, called. "Professionally, hearing from my agent has to be the greatest thing that’s ever happened," Phillips continued.’

‘”One of the true signs of his character and toughness was his workout,” said Bills defensive line coach Tim Krumrie, who looks like he enjoys chewing on glass himself. “He said he’d do all of the running but the 40, he’d save that for the end. Well, we worked him really hard, and I didn’t think he’d run the 40 because he was gassed. But to his credit, he ran and ran a 4.9. He wanted to prove to everybody he could hold up.”‘

‘Jill Kelly said she wants more children, but admitted the threat of Krabbe Disease scares her. That’s where faith comes in, she said. “God uses all things for the good,” Kelly said. “I know the things that hurt us can also bless us.”‘

‘Graham took over a starting role midway through his freshman season and had 38 straight starts until he was injured as a senior. He is the school’s career leader in passes defended (interceptions, plus breakups) with 37 and finished with 12 career interceptions.’

Losman is the third Tulane quarterback drafted in the past six years, following in the footsteps of Shaun King and Patrick Ramsey. King was selected 50th overall in the second round of the 1999 draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Ramsey went 32nd overall to the Washington Redskins in the first round of the 2002 draft.’

‘”Maybe I don’t have everything naturally like a lot of other guys do,” Anderson said. “Everything I’ve had to develop through hard work, determination, work ethic, and all those types of things.”‘

‘The Bills will take on the Titans in preseason, Saturday August 21. Aaron is excited to welcome Bo to Buffalo. “That’s good that we play Tennessee, now I have something to look forward to in preseason,” Aaron said.’

Losman will also benefit from the trio of head coach Mike Mularkey, coordinator Tommy Clements and quarterbacks coach Sam Wyche, three excellent minds and three guys whose knowledge of the position is terrific.

‘DFT Security will provide security to the Bills, the team Field House and Ralph Wilson Stadium through its electronic safety system.’
