Two Bills Drive

‘”All I can say is wow,” said new head coach Mike Mularkey, as he addressed the faithful. “If there’s a better fan base anywhere in America, I’d like to see it.”‘

‘The entire Bills roster will conduct one practice session on Sunday beginning at 2:45 pm. The first day of camp from St. John Fisher College is opened to the public.’

‘”It’s a great thing to have in your community. It’s great for community pride. It’s just a tremendous family activity to go over to camp just to have the chance to see NFL and pro athletes is something most communities and most people don’t have a chance to see. So, it’s great for us for that, but it also puts us on the map,” said Carpenter.’

‘You are trying to evaluate players down here. You’re also trying to evaluate your team and see who is dependable, accountable and who the physically and mentally tough players are. When it gets hard and they face a little adversity you want to see who can out last it. You also want to find out some things about each phase of the team. You want to see defensively if we are going to be complacent or get better, trying to create more turnovers more than ever. Offensively you want to see if we are going to be a smart offense and a ball control offense. On special teams you want to see if we are going to be consistent. All of those things are going to be evaluated, it’s not just what’s on film. We are going to hit a little bit more than I think they’ve hit in the past. Right or wrong I think that is the best way to get a feel for all of those evaluations, which is to start a little more physical and you can then cut back.’

‘I’m fired up to get going. Anytime you have a tough year you want to put that behind you as quick as you can. For the most part I feel like I’ve done that, I’m not really too concerned about last year at all. I’m going forward from here and I’m going to be optimistic about the year. That’s what’s got me fired up, it’s not necessarily last year, but just the fact that I feel we have a chance to be very good this year.’

‘On what his demands were to his agent: I’ve known him since I was in about 10th grade of high school, so we have a really good relationship. When he says something’s going to happen, I believe him.’

‘”Luckily I didn’t have to have surgery,” Moulds said. “It was tough to let it (the groin) heal on its own. It’s one of the injuries you just need to have rest for it to recover. But it healed nicely and I’m happy with the results.”‘

‘This select day of training camp is scheduled for Wednesday, August 25 on the St. John Fisher College campus. Youth Day will consist of a variety of exciting football-related activities tailored for youngsters with special needs.’

‘"I recently had the pleasure to meet with Coach Mularkey who expressed his excitement about returning to Pittsford. Our annual Rally is a great kickoff for a successful training camp and gives the players, the coaches, and the fans an opportunity to share the buzz about the start of a new season," said Town Supervisor Bill Carpenter.’

‘The Buffalo Bills Pep Rally is set for Saturday, July 31 at 5:30PM.’

‘Evans is expected to challenge for a starting spot with Josh Reed. He adds the speed dimension this team didn’t have last season after Eric Moulds got hurt.’

‘The Bills are looking to groom Losman as the possible replacement to starter Drew Bledsoe. Buffalo was so enthroned with Losman that the club gave up three draft picks, including a first-rounder next year, in a deal with Dallas to trade up in the first round.’

‘Evans set a career school record at Wisconsin with 175 catches for 3,468 yards and 26 touchdowns, while averaging 19.92 yards a reception — second only to Tony Simmons.’

‘The Bills today announced that the team has signed the 22nd overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, quarterback JP Losman. In accordance with club policy, terms were not disclosed.’
