And watch out for Buffalo, Bob. the early reports on Drew Bledsoe are very encouraging, and I think head coach Gregg Williams will keep the arrow pointing up. Nobody works harder. Nobody.

"I’m going to be working harder than any other safety in the NFL! There are places that I want to go (in the league) and I have a lot of work to do to get there. I wouldn’t want to be any other place doing anything else. I couldn’t be happier."

AFC East recovery room
The Dolphins have a series of nagging pains that must be monitored, but the Bills and Super Bowl champs have gotten off pretty clean.
RB Travis Henry (knee) — Ready for camp.
Henry had his knee cleaned out to repair loose cartilage but has fully recovered. He has worked out and expects to be full bore for camp.
G Jerry Ostroski (knee) — Limited in camp.
Questions still loom how his knee and leg will respond. The team’s veteran guard continues to work through some problems in his knee derived from problems with a leg he broke last preseason. Doctors inserted a metal plate for support but the plate has aggravated his knee. Doctors then cleaned out some tissue in the joint in June to promote healing. He is expected to be limited in camp and the team is uncertain when he will return to 100 percent.
AFC East Primer: Dolphins are best of a good bunch
If Buffalo can settle its uncertainty in the backfield and offensive line, it could easily sneak past .500 and into the playoffs. One daunting factor is the Bills’ strength of schedule — it’s tied for the toughest in the league.

Haddad Gets One More Shot at NFL
“It feels great to be in a situation where the big guys upstairs all the way down to the coaches believe in you and are on your side,” Haddad said. “There were some questions in my head after the Bills released me. But going out there last preseason and being able to do something positive re-lighted my fire and made me realize that I could play. It made me feel that I belonged.”

Bills: Success hinges on Bledsoe
‘Key issue: Which Drew Bledsoe shows up. If the Bills get the Bledsoe of five or six years ago who had a nearly 2-1 ratio of TDs to interceptions, they will be a great offensive team. If they get the Bledsoe who was shoved aside by Tom Brady in New England last seaosn, it could be another long year.’
