Two Bills Drive

‘A commanding win for Drew Bledsoe.’

‘”We talked about the competition between the Bills and Dolphins and what that rivalry always meant to us,” said Kelly. “Both Dan and I know this event is going to be competitive . . . but the bottom line is we’re going to come to enjoy ourselves and raise some money for some charities around here.”‘

"Welcome to Buffalo Drew, where the wings are hot and the weather is cold."

The Admirals (featuring Bills allocated WR Reggie Allen and QB David Dinkins) visit the Galaxys (featuring Bills allocated RB Curtis Alexander) and is the featured game on Sunday at 1 PM EST on Fox.

Two veterans have made a positive first impression with the coaching staff and their new teammates are linebacker London Fletcher and safety Billy Jenkins by showing up in camp when not required.

‘The question is: Does the fifth-round draft choice have the talent to help the Bills’ defense as a rookie?’

‘The game’s proceeds will benefit the Hunter’s Hope Foundation – the nonprofit group established by Kelly and his wife, Jill, in 1997 after their infant son, Hunter, was diagnosed with Krabbe’s Disease – as well as the Ilio DiPaolo Scholarship Fund and the UB Athletic Scholarship Fund.’

‘Hall of Famer Marv Levy will coach the Kelly squad, which will feature Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Don Beebe, Bill Brooks, Steve Tasker, Fred Smerlas, Darryl Talley, Kent Hull, Cornelius Bennett, Chris Speilman, Shane Conlan and Pete Metzelaars and more.’

Head Coach Gregg Williams was pleased with the progress of his young players after the two workouts but was even more thrilled by the fact that some of the new veterans acquired this off-season were taking part in the the camp that was designed for first and second year players.

The biggest mystery surrounding the Bills in this mini-camp is whether John Fina or Larry Centers will be part of the team when the season begins.

How can I expect Kevin Gilbride to change his offense to suit Drew Bledsoe, when he couldn’t cut it with Kordell Stewart in Pittsburgh? Well, he’d better or the Bills will realize pretty quickly that a severe error has been made and Gilbride will be history.

Many of the Bills players will be on hand to celebrate the occasion and will be available for autographs afterwards.

20. Jay Riemersma, Bills: Could someone please explain to me why the Bills signed Moore when they already had Riemersma? There are rumors that the Bills might release Riemersma after June 1. That’s sad, because we are talking about a tight end who has averaged 486 yards and four scores over the past three years. And he did it in spite of constant uncertainty at the QB position. With Drew Bledsoe added to the mix, Jay stands to raise those averages, but only if the recipe still calls for Riemersma.

‘"We’ll spend a week or two with Jonas at center," Gilbride said. "Then we’ll move Trey Teague into center and let him do it, and move Jonas to left tackle. . . . I think we’re going to see with Billy Conaty, Jonas and with Trey Teague, those three primarily will be the guys we’re gonna experiment with (at center)."’
