Two Bills Drive

‘The Bills got their other points on Olandis Gary’s one-yard TD run late in the first quarter and a pair of field goals by Rian Lindell.’

‘Rookie Antonio Brown returned a punt 87 yards for the winning points as Buffalo held off Baltimore in the Bills preseason opener.’

‘The Bills are next in action Saturday in Tennessee. They return to St.John Fisher for practice on Monday at 2:45 which is open to the public.’

‘A rejuvenated and healthy Ray Lewis, a suffocating secondary and a pass-rushing burst was reminiscent of Ravens defenses of the past.’

‘McGahee is making a remarkable recovery and Rosenhaus has insisted his client is ready to return to the field. Donahoe and the Bills have espoused a more prudent approach and could place McGahee on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list once he is signed.’

‘“We made significant progress on a number of issues, including the term of the agreement, the signing bonus and the incentives,” agent Drew Rosenhaus said. “We’re hopeful that we’ll be able to iron out some details and close in on an agreement … and possibly have a deal done by early next week.”’

‘Greg Williams says he’ll play his starters about a quarter in Saturday’s first preseason game from Baltimore. Williams says it could go longer if one unit stays on the field longer than the other.’

‘However, the true bragging rights will be contested between Brown, the Ravens’ linebacker, and his older brother, Ruben Brown, the Bills’ Pro Bowl offensive lineman. "We’re close, but he could turn on me anytime," Cornell Brown said.’

Buffalo’s first unit probably won’t play more than a quarter, but they expect to make the most of it.

“We’re just going to take this first game as a chance to learn to play together, just get out there on the field together,” safety Coy Wire said. “I guess it will give us a glimpse of what this defense will provide the team this year.”’

This will be the second time the Browns have faced each other in the preseason. The Bills beat the Ravens, 31-28, in Baltimore in 1997, and the teams played during the regular season in 1999.

“Last time, we lost to them and he didn’t even play,” Cornell Brown said. “It was a tough one.”‘

‘” I always felt in the first preseason game, you want to go out, feel sharp, put together a good drive or a good couple drives, and that’s enough,” Bledsoe said.’

‘The Bills expect their front seven to be far more stout than last season with wide-bodies Sam Adams and Pat Williams clogging up the middle of the line of scrimmage.

However, Adams and Williams figure to be far more effective if they can get adequate rest during the course of games. Ideally, the Bills would like to play Adams about 35 or 40 snaps a game. Adams reported to camp at a svelte – for him – 340 pounds. He has remarkable quickness for a man so big and has made two Pro Bowls thanks to his ability to crash into backfields. But he also has nine full years under his belt. The Bills don’t want him spent by Thanksgiving.’

‘Alex Van Pelt will be the second quarterback in the game for the Bills. Travis Brown will follow, and fourth-stringer Jason Johnson might see some time in the fourth quarter.’
