Two Bills Drive

‘”Chris Mortensen said that Drew told him that he never understood what (former Patriot coach Bill) Parcells meant when he wanted him to be a leader,” said Garber. “And now he understands. He had a staple put on (the side of his face) without anesthesia. That’s leadership. He has evolved and is the leader of the team.”‘

‘The former University of Tennessee standout is a free agent after this season and should the Bills fail or elect not to re-sign him by next March, other teams will be calling Price, not just friends and marketers.’

‘"This is a good football team," wide receiver Rod Smith said. "They have more firepower than anybody in the NFL, and if we have to get into a shootout with them, are we ready to do that? Offensively, we have to step up our game."’

‘"Buffalo is very talented on special teams. They’ve made some big plays, and they’ve given up some big plays. Last week they did a good job of putting it all together," Lynn said.’

‘Right tackle Mike Williams resumed practicing with the Buffalo Bills Friday, a day after slightly hyperextending his left knee.’

‘”The atmosphere,” said wide receiver Peerless Price on Thursday, “is very different from the previous years. In previous years, we really didn’t know if we were going or coming. Now, we have a sense of direction, a purpose.”‘

Mike Williams and Nate Clements added as probable.

‘Still, I disagree and think Williams made the right call. And here’s why…’.

Buffalobills.com visitors selected Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe as the Tops Game Ball of the Week winner for his performance against the Minnesota Vikings. After practice on Thursday, the former first round draft pick answered some emails from fans.

‘"It will be nice to go back to Denver, but I’ll be there to do a job," he said. "I’m a Buffalo Bill now, and my focus is on doing what I can to help our team win."’

‘The Broncos have the NFL’s No. 1 run defense, allowing an average of just 51.5 yards in wins over San Francisco and St. Louis. Take away a 31-yard run by the 49ers’ Reggie Barlow and a 15-yard run by the Rams’ Marshall Faulk, and Denver has yielded only 57 yards on 31 carries – a 1.8-yard average.’

‘Williams has played well, starting the first two games against the New York Jets and Minnesota. Five-year veteran Marcus Price is listed as his backup.’

‘Playing in Denver’s thin air is a problem all visiting teams face when they play the Broncos and — outside of traveling to Denver early in the week to practice there — there’s no way to prepare for it.’
