Two Bills Drive

‘The Hunter’s Hope Foundation, begun by Kelly to support awareness of a fatal nervous system disease afflicting his son, tried to block unemployment payments to Kathleen Pfohl, who worked as the foundation’s event manager. Foundation administrators accused her of "inappropriate dress, use of vulgar language and rudeness to staff and volunteers." They also said she used vulgar language and mocked staff during Kelly’s induction ceremony at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.’

‘Miller hasn’t been told what kind of role he’ll have on Bills radio broadcasts next season, when John Murphy takes his play-by-play seat on 97 Rock and former Bills quarterback Alex Van Pelt makes his debut as an analyst. “They have a great play-by-play guy in Murph and it’s wonderful they have a player in there,” Miller said. “A lot of teams use a former player, but how many have former quarterbacks?”‘

‘The camp, in its first year, was specifically designed for linemen and was taught by Teague, who plays for the Buffalo Bills; Chad Clifton, who is with the Green Bay Packers; and Dave Moore, who also plays for Buffalo.’

‘Gildon agreed late Friday night to a one-year deal worth around $1.25 million. There are also around $500,000 worth of incentives in the contract. He also had been talking to the Bengals and Packers.’

‘Ross Tucker, Mike Pucillo, and Marques Sullivan are all vying for the starting opportunity and all three men are neck and neck at this point.’

‘Van Miller, the longtime “voice of the Buffalo Bills,” is the 2004 winner of the Pete Rozelle Radio and Television Award.

‘"I’m looking forward to working with guys like Mike (Williams) and Jonas (Jennings)," McNally said. "They’re big guys who have a lot of talent. They can really help this football team."’

‘McNally acknowledged that in watching nine or 10 Bills games from last season on film, he noticed the same things most Bills observers harped on throughout the team’s disappointing 6-10 season – namely that QB Drew Bledsoe needs to get rid of the ball quicker, the Bills need to run the ball more and the receivers need to run quicker pass routes.’

‘Tickets will be available online at www.buffalobills.com as well as by calling (877) BB-TICKS. Tickets will also be available in person at the Ralph Wilson Stadium box office and at participating Tops Markets.’

‘Only single seats remain for the October 3rd game against the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots. There are only a limited number of tickets left for the September 12th opener against Jacksonville, and the October 17th game against the rival Miami Dolphins.’

‘The Bills today announced that only single seats will be available for the Oct. 3 game versus the New England Patriots when individual game tickets go on sale Saturday, July 17 at 9:00 a.m. Tickets will also be extremely limited for the home opener versus the Jacksonville Jaguars as well as the Oct. 17 game versus the Miami Dolphins.’

‘"I think this offense is going to be easier for me from a decision making stand point," he said. "We’re not going to ask our receivers to make as many decisions. Hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to get the ball out of my hands quicker this year, which is really what we are trying to do so I can avoid some of the hits and negative plays that happened last year."’

Lee Evans vs. Josh Reed

Edge: Reed. He knows the offense and knows how to get open.

Opening-day starter: Evans. You can’t keep speed like he has on the bench, especially with Drew Bledsoe chucking it around.

‘"He’s obviously got a very strong arm, and he’s learning," Bledsoe said of Losman. "When you come in as a quarterback, as a rookie, there’s a whole ton to learn and he’s making progress. He’s working hard and he’s made a lot of strides in the last few weeks."’

‘"The feedback I got from (the Bills) was that he performed very well," Rickert said. "Athletically and arm strength-wise, he’s as good as some of the QBs they have on their roster. Having said that, they’re not in position to make a move."’
