BillsBeat - September 30, 2001

Today's Matchup

‘The offensive and defensive systems being employed by new Bills Coach Gregg Williams are still causing the players to think instead of react. However, he knows how to defense the Steelers because he did it when he was the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans. Cowher and offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey will have to make quick adjustments once they determine how the Bills are going to try to stop them.’

Pittsburgh Post Gazette | Sep 30, 2001

Cowher, Donohoe meet once again

‘Today, the two former associates, who together built one of the best teams in the AFC in the 1990s, send their teams against each other at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. Donahoe is president and general manager of the home team, the Buffalo Bills. He won’t admit it, but he would like nothing better than to whip Cowher’s team. Cowher remains coach of the Steelers and holder of the keys to the Rooney kingdom through 2005, along with a salary that eventually will approach $3 million per year.’

Pittsburgh Tribune Review | Sep 30, 2001

Bills' Brown always an optimist

‘Right about now the Bills are looking like a considerable underdog themselves, but that’s not about to bother Brown. "It’s football to me," he said of all the organization’s changes. "I go out and block and try to do my job. I have fond memories of the times that I spent with the former guys and I cherish them, but those guys are gone. I’m still here and I have to play games and try to win, so I don’t dwell on it. But there is a great history here and we are trying to build on that."’

Pittsburgh Tribune Review | Sep 30, 2001

Scott ready to resume role on center stage

‘Although it was over in a matter of moments, it hasn’t been forgotten more than a month later. On one hand it was only a practice, a training camp practice at that. On the other hand it was a profound example of just how dominant a cornerback Chad Scott can become when he puts his mind to it.’

Pittsburgh Tribune Review | Sep 30, 2001

Doing what comes naturally

‘Their opponents this week, the Buffalo Bills, have played as badly as everyone expected in their first two weeks, and, consequently, have generated very little buzz.’

Pittsburgh Tribune Review | Sep 30, 2001

Steelers/Bills scouting report

‘Trips to Buffalo haven’t been easy on the Steelers, but this one figures to be easier than most. The weather should be passable and the opponent – minus Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Bruce Smith and the rest of those Super Bowl Bills that used to give the Steelers fits at Ralph Wilson Stadium – should be much more forgiving. Although road games are never a "gimmie," this is one road game a playoff team ought to be able to win.’

Pittsburgh Tribune Review | Sep 30, 2001

Starting Not Important to Hampton

‘Analysts considered Casey Hampton to be something of a "reach" when he was drafted 19th in the first round by the Pittsburgh Steelers last April.’

Lewis Likes the Blitz

‘The Bills’ most critical injury, however, may have been the torn Achilles tendon suffered by middle linebacker Sam Cowart in the opener. Cowart, who made the Pro Bowl after making 181 tackles in only 12 games last season, was expected to be the lynchpin for Williams’ new 4-3 defense. He was replaced last week by rookie Brandon Spoon on running downs and by Kenyatta Wright on passing downs. Spoon was injured in the game and will join Cowart on the sidelines today. "I’m not crying that he’s not playing," said Steelers running back Jerome Bettis. "I never wish injury on a player. I just hope he recovers 100 percent from it. But he’s one of those guys where you kind of give a sigh of relief when you hear he’s not playing."’

Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1) at Buffalo Bills (0-2) Preview

Buffalo’s defense couldn’t have played much worse than it did during the first two games. The Bills will have to improve in that area without their best defensive player. Buffalo takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Ralph Wilson Stadium in a matchup of winless teams.

AP | Sep 29, 2001

Bills' Donahoe psyched about facing Steelers

‘It’s no wonder Donahoe was less candid discussing payback against the Steelers. "We have our issues we’re trying to address. That’s where our concentration is," Donahoe said. "But as far as me being a factor in the game, I’m not a factor." But in some ways he is.As the first executive to hold the title of president in franchise history, Donahoe is front and centre in overseeing a new Bills era. Since taking over in January following John Butler’s dismissal, Donahoe has brought in a new coaching staff, headed by rookie Gregg Williams, defused a quarterback controversy by releasing Doug Flutie in favour of Rob Johnson, and is attempting to rebuild the Bills from scratch.’

AP | Sep 29, 2001

Bills make roster move

‘The Bills today announced offensive tackle Jon Carman has been signed to the 53-man roster.’

BuffaloBills.com | Sep 29, 2001

Defense ready to go against Johnson

‘"If he gets a little excited, he’ll get out of the pocket and scramble on you and hurt you that way," said Smith. "You do get a little excited when he holds the ball, but you have to be conscious of getting overaggressive and he takes it up the field and the defensive backs are running downfield and he’s getting a big gain on you. You can’t let him sit there and pick you apart. If you get some pressure and get in his face and disrupt his throws, you can get some interceptions and knockdowns."’

Steelers Digest | Sep 29, 2001

Donahoe downplays any extra incentive against Steelers

‘For Donahoe, who started in the Steelers’ organization in the 1960s as the team’s ball boy, this game has to conjure bittersweet feelings. Donahoe’s tenure with the Steelers ended in January 2000 when it was determined that his relationship with Cowher had deteriorated to a point that owners Dan and Art Rooney II felt they had to decide which one must go.’

Buffalo News | Sep 29, 2001

Moulds will play; tackles questionable

‘If Fina and Jennings can’t go or are limited, rookie Marques Sullivan, who has been working at right tackle, will see time at tackle.’

Buffalo News | Sep 29, 2001

CBS draws the line on technology in smaller markets

‘If the Buffalo Bills continue to flounder, Buffalo television viewers will be suffering through more than just the losses. They also will suffer through some games in which CBS doesn’t appear to be trying its hardest to provide quality telecasts. During the Indianapolis Colts’ 42-26 demolition of the Bills on Sunday, CBS didn’t use the technology that helps viewers see where teams have to go to make first downs. In the Bills’ opener two weeks earlier against the Saints, Fox also didn’t use the technology.’
