Two Bills Drive

‘Even more impressive than the numbers, though, was the aura that accompanied him when he walked onto a football field. With No. 12 behind center, the fans and his teammates always felt he would find a way to win.’

‘Cotton is believed to have signed for the NFL minimum of $212,000.’

So, how can the Patriots win? No turnovers and a consistent running game. Antowain Smith needs to get out early and help the Patriots to a couple of sustained drives, or the game could slip away fast. With the Rams, you have to withstand the first blast. If the Patriots can do that, we’ll have a game. They really overpowered a very good, tough and physically imposing Saints defensive line

As for stopping the Rams offense, it seems impossible. But the Patriots do have an awfully good weapon in their head coach. The venerable Parcells, after all, went to all three of his Super Bowls with Belichick as his defensive coordinator. And in 1990, Parcells’ Giants faced a high-powered and varied offense in the Buffalo Bills. The underdog Giants controlled the clock and won the game when Scott Norwood went wide right.

‘Wednesday, the former long-snapper for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers received a call from his agent telling him that the Buffalo Bills of the NFL are interested in working him out.’

‘Meanwhile, the Bills are apparently interested in Winnipeg Blue Bombers long snapper Steve Glenn. The Ottawa native could be in Buffalo as soon as today to work out for the team.’

Cotton, is being projected as a linebacker with the Bills, who did not disclose details of the contract. Cotton said the Bills will give him his shot as a LB specializing as a pass rusher. Cotton, an Ohio State product, had nine QB sacks, 53 tackles and three forced fumbles last season. Cotton as a junior played with Antoine Winfield during his senior year.

‘"There are no hard feelings toward Buffalo. They have a new coach and new general manager, so they wanted to go in a different direction. But I knew I could still play in this league, and New England gave me the opportunity. I’m just happy to be in a place where I’m wanted."’

I believe Jim Kelly is worthy of the Hall of Fame and I think he’ll make it. He was one of the great quarterbacks of his era — maybe not in the Elway and Marino class, but a great passer on a Bills team that did something remarkable (four straight Super Bowls). Not only that, but Jim has a heart of gold.

”It’s an honor to be considered by such a fine organization like the Bills," Ramsdell said. "Right now, I’m just trying to get through this week and go from there."’

‘Saimes returned to Canton the same year his playing days ended. That was 1974. He is 60 now and has worked as a scout in the NFL the last 18 years. Currently, he works for the Houston Texans.’

‘"I’m not saying Kelly is Montana, but we don’t need to take up our time. He should be in."’

‘"I’m flattered," Ramsdell said Wednesday morning. "I’m honored the Bills would consider me. Nothing has happened to this point. I’m just trying to get through this week right now. We’re pretty busy. But I will talk to them at some point after this week."’

‘The deal is worth about $6 million, according to Van Pelt’s agent, Eric Metz, and could more than double in value if certain incentives are met.’

‘Phillips flew in from his home in Austin, Texas, to meet with head coach Dan Reeves for a second interview Wednesday. Following the all-but-certain approval of the sale of the Falcons to Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank Saturday in New Orleans, Phillips is expected to be named the defensive coordinator.’
