Two Bills Drive

‘Interested fans are asked to submit a brief essay (700 words or less) recounting their favorite Eric Moulds moment. It could be a last second touchdown catch, a ballet-like tiptoe along the sideline, or a powerful stiff arm that eliminated the last would-be tackler on the way to the end zone. It could also be an experience you had out in the community meeting the Bills’ longest current tenured player.’

‘Fairhope police said Monday that Thomas, who was in town for a charity golf tournament, was arrested at a hotel with a marijuana cigarette in his hand.’

‘Thomas was charged with second-degree possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor indicating the drug is for personal use. He was booked and released in time to play golf Saturday morning.’

‘Thomas was released and then played in Cornelius Bennett’s golf tournament.’

‘He had in his possession one partially smoked marijuana cigarette, according to the report.’

‘Former NFL running back Thurman Thomas was arrested over the weekend and charged with marijuana possession, according to a police report.’

‘Fairhope police say he was booked into the Fairhope jail and released at about four Saturday morning. He spoke with NBC15 about his arrest. Thomas says it is all a misunderstanding. “You know, I’m a good guy. I took the fall for some other people and that’s, that’s just what happens, you know. I’m, sometimes, you know, you be such a nice of a good guy, you take the fall for some people that might put you in a bad situation.”‘

‘”You ask the vets … ‘If we can get another chance to be together and talk about the system, it would be another chance to help us win,'” said Mularkey. “But it’s not just (the rookie camp weekend). We’ve had 50-plus players a day in here working out. Their commitment has been very impressive since the first day we’ve been here.”‘

‘While outsiders think Henry is fast becoming expendable with 2003 first-round pick Willis McGahee ready to take the field in contact drills after recovering from major knee surgery, the Bills feel just the opposite.’

‘QB J.P. Losman turned heads in Bills rookie camp with his quick release, strong arm and mobility. Twice he hit fellow No. 1 pick Lee Evans on deep passes, giving a glimpse into Buffalo’s future. Wearing No. 7, he also looked like a bigger, stronger version of Doug Flutie. “He throws a good ball and has a good strong arm. He looks like a fairly mobile guy,” veteran Drew Bledsoe commented. “He’s definitely a solid player. It’ll be interesting to watch him develop and hopefully in a few years down the road when I ride off into the sunset I can look back and watch the progress he’s made with us working together.”‘

‘More is needed from Ryan Denney, who had good moments last year but contributed little in several games. He has the size and strength to shed run blocks but lacks the athleticism to be more than an average pass rusher.’

‘Q: Favorite vacation spot?

TA: I’ve never been on vacation.’

Paup’s first year with the Bills could have been a television program on the Discovery Channel called ‘Monster Season.’ In the third game, he sacked Colts quarterback Jim Harbaugh three times,had 14 tackles and forced two fumbles. That effort earned him the first of two AFC Defensive Player of the Week Awards. He was also later selected as November’s AFC Player of the Month.

‘Ritcher is third on the Bills all time games played list with 222. He trails only Bruce Smith and Andre Reed.’
