Two Bills Drive

‘Second-year pros Marques Sullivan and Kris Farris also will compete for the job, but Teague’s experience should give him the edge.’

‘Playing under his third coordinator in as many years, and with his fourth starting quarterback in four seasons, Price has a chance to realize the untapped potential he claims is inside him.’

‘While career receiving leader Andre Reed played 11 of his 15 seasons in Buffalo with one quarterback (Jim Kelly) and a couple of offensive coordinators, Moulds is starting over with his sixth starting quarterback and fifth coordinator.’

‘Financial details of the agreement were not immediately available because the deal is not signed, but the extension will run through the 2003 season. Without the new deal, Centers would have been eligible for unrestricted free agency next spring.’

‘"The most important thing you can have as a quarterback is to know you’re protected on your blind side," said Bledsoe, the Bills’ new marquee player. "There’s no question that having Trey over there with some experience is important. He has been effective against NFL pass rushers."’

The 27-year-old Teague has been somewhat defensive — especially about the prospect of playing center, which he hasn’t played since he was at the University of Tennessee.

"I’m looking forward to starting at left tackle. I’m prepared to compete for that position the best I can," he said. "At this time, I’m preparing the best I can to play tackle and learn the system here."

What about playing center? "I don’t really want to get into that."

Now that the initial introductions are over, the battle for jobs has begun. "We're loaded at every position right now so people are going to have to fight for a job, said linebacker Brandon Spoon. "It's going to be an interesting June camp and training camp."

The Bills today announced the ticket procedures for the team’s uniform unveiling event at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday, June 8. The event is free to attend but a ticket will be required for admission.

‘Ephedra is an ingredient in about 200 supplements that are commonly used for weight loss, boosting energy or building muscle mass. Nevertheless, consumer watchdog Public Citizen last year called ephedra "the most lethal" dietary supplement and has urged the Food and Drug Administration to ban it.’

‘Tacking the date to the wall also would be a way of saluting the players from the Super Bowl years who won’t make it up on the Wall individually: Frank Reich, who orchestrated that 41-38 victory out of thin air, Kenneth Davis, Jeff Wright, Nate Odomes, House Ballard and the rest.’

‘"When you have a chance to get a quarterback the caliber of Drew Bledsoe, you go after him as hard as you can. Yeah, I’m disappointed, but I’m a team player. The team is more important than me, and Drew gives us a better chance of winning. Even I know that."’

Bills one of five best teams with in terms of long term potential due to sound front office management, per Pat Kirwin.
