Two Bills Drive

‘Sciandra said Bills’ officials have asked to be kept informed of the case but have made no comments about it.’

‘"I’ve said it all before. I’ve said, ‘I matured. I’ve thought about a lot of things. I messed up in the past.’ I’ve said those things before and messed up again. So I can’t really talk about it. I’ve just got to do it." Wright told a Bee reporter those words two years ago. It’s too bad he failed to live by them.’

‘Wire, 23, drew excellent reviews from coach Gregg Williams and his staff during the Bills’ minicamps and offseason conditioning program. Because of his inexperience, he probably won’t challenge immediately for a starting job, but should at least play in some ‘dime’ situations in a Buffalo secondary still in flux at the safety spots. The Buffalo coaches certainly consider Wire a prospect who eventually will start.’

‘The Buffalo Bills on Wednesday agreed to terms with three draft picks: safety Coy Wire from Stanford, fullback Jarrett Ferguson of Virginia Tech and linebacker Dominique Stevenson from Tennessee.’

Selected in the first round of the 1973 draft with a pick obtained from Miami for wide receiver Marlin Briscoe, DeLamielleure’s excitement over being chosen soon vanished because of the results of a physical examination.

The Bills today announced that the team has agreed to terms with three of the team’s 2002 draft picks – safety Coy Wire, fullback Jarrett Ferguson, and linebacker Dominique Stevenson.

The Bills and United Parcel Service will be hosting a pair of events as part of Hit the Books, The UPS – Buffalo Bills Summer Reading Program, this Monday, July 8th. The first will be at 1:30 PM at the Audubon Library located at 350 John James Audubon Parkway in Amherst and the second will be at 3:30pm at the Fronczak Branch Library located at 1080 Broadway Street in Buffalo.

With all this praise coming into the league, without ever running a route in an actual NFL game, you would think that Reed would possess a certain amount of overconfidence. However, that's about the furthest thing from the truth.

‘Two of Wright’s cousins were later found with his vehicle at an apartment complex near the accident scene. Witnesses said Wright had been driving and his cousins said he was intoxicated and fled on foot because he was afraid of being caught, police said.’

‘Now the home field get-up isn’t too bad. The simple navy jersey with red rib stripe, gray outlined numbers and red/blue side-striped pants is, in fact, quite attractive. It’s the team’s away uniform that is so unbearably putrid.’

‘Beckwith said witnesses identified Wright as the driver of a car that collided with a van and then departed. He said the van was knocked into a post, where it caught fire, and that the occupants were helped out of the wreckage by bystanders. Three people reportedly were riding in the van, Beckwith said. He said there were reports of injuries in the van, but that he didn’t know how many people were hurt or what type of injuries they might have suffered.’

‘Wright’s attorney, Sal Sciandra, explained why it took so long, "We just became aware that they were looking for him, and as soon as he became aware that they were looking for him, we started making arrangements for him to turn himself in. Part of the delay was making the arrangements with the officers, and some of the delay was my schedule."’

‘All eyes in training camp will be on Bledsoe. Can he shake the rust off and return to his elite form? If he can, that should translate into very big things from Eric Moulds, and possibly a breakout year from Peerless Price.’

‘Witnesses said Wright had been driving, and his cousins said he was intoxicated and fled on foot because he was afraid of being caught, police said.’

‘Wright, who was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in April but has not yet signed with the team, remained missing as of 1:45 p.m. today. Beckwith was quick to say that no charges have been filed against Wright and that the investigation is continuing.’
