Two Bills Drive

‘Kicking off a three-day camp on Monday, Williams made it clear that he has no patience for "fat guys," wants players training together in Buffalo to build camaraderie, and is preparing to revamp the defensive scheme.’

John Clayton posted this "rumor" yesterday: ‘By Monday, the Bills should complete a one-year, $477,000 deal to have Alex Van Pelt as the team’s backup quarterback. The cap-strapped Bills have the luxury of paying a lot for a backup, and Van Pelt wanted to return and accept an incentive-laden contract. The Bills may also bring in quarterback Pete Gonzalez, who is a favorite of new team president Tom Donahoe. Gonzalez would then be the third quarterback.’

Receivers and defenders listen; Working on snapping; Rob Johnson works out with Alex Van Pelt; Players stretch out; Players limber up; The line listens to instruction.

On overweight players: "Don’t like them at all. At all. What we can’t coach is guys who run fast and move fast. You’re born with that. When all of the sudden your body weight inhibits your way to move fast, no matter how much technique we coach you…"

"The strength coaches have been killing me this past week. I’ve been running, lifting weights, and I’ve got my diet plan going on. I’m just trying to get down to my assigned weight they’ve got for me, and be ready to play on every down!"

Head Coach Gregg Williams said today that John Holecek would remain in the MLB position and Sam Cowart would be moved to OLB.

‘If Flutie truly was the "savior" of the Bills franchise, as many readily declare, season ticket sales for the following year would have skyrocketed. They did not.’

‘The [Buffalo Convention and Visitors Bureau], acting on the advice of president Richard Geiger, decided to use Johnson in the video and in the visitors guide.’

‘…the switch will boost offensive productivity and reduce quarterback Rob Johnson’s alarming sack count. The West Coast offense uses shorter QB drops and quick, short passes to set up the running game.’

‘"Coach Williams told him that the reason he wanted him to go was because they run the west coast offense in Amsterdam and he’ll be able to learn it first hand," Roth’s father said. "It’s a great opportunity for him to showcase himself."’

‘She only hammered out a $30 million, six-year deal for Flutie, that’s all. Do they have a Rookie of the Year award for agents?’

‘It appears that Buffalo is happy with its QB pick —- San Diego is ecstatic.’

‘In his letter to the players, Williams made it clear that he wasn’t impressed by their 41-percent participation in offseason workouts a year ago. He said he expected everyone here this time – not just for minicamp but the 16-week offseason. He was especially tough on the offensive linemen.’

‘Perhaps it’s inevitable. Lose four consecutive Super Bowls and even the coaches of girls high school basketball teams in California will invoke the Buffalo Bills as what not to emulate.’
