Two Bills Drive

"Under former coordinator Joe Pendry, who was enamored with the quarterback’s arm strength, Johnson was forced to take seven-step drops and throw down the field far too often. Now, Pendry is gone and Johnson will have the luxury of working from new coordinator Mike Sheppard’s three-step-drop attack."

‘There will be four practices, including two today (9-11 a.m. and 4-5:45 p.m.), before the remaining veterans report Saturday afternoon. The first full roster workouts are Sunday.’

‘"This is when people start to smell football in the air," Williams said. "I’ve been really appreciative of the last couple days that the weather has popped. Training camp’s not supposed to be easy, it’s supposed to be tough. This is a tough man’s game."’

‘"I expect that he would be here and ready to go. If he’s not, I’ll be coaching somebody who is here. I’m more worried about who’s here than who’s not."’

‘Tomorrow: Rookie camp (9-11 a.m. only). Parade in Pittsford at 6 p.m.’

‘"To be able to utilize the Bills brand, which is probably the strongest brand in the state outside New York City, was just terrific for us," LeGrett said.’

Buffalo Bills Parade Route

Friday, July 27th – 6:00pm

Join Pittsford in welcoming the Buffalo Bills back to Pittsford with this town wide parade. The parade will step off from Sutherland High School and travel the following route:

Sutherland Street, to Lincoln Avenue, onto South Main Street where

it will pass by a reviewing stand and end at the corner of South Main and Monroe Avenue.

‘"I’m more worried about who’s here than who is not here," Williams said. "This organization has lasted a long time without Nate Clements."’

‘The Bills placed Moore on the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday, saying he needs more time to recover after being shot in the leg seven weeks ago.’

‘Other teams showing interest include Indianapolis, New England, the New York Jets, San Diego and Washington. Any potential contract will probably be for the veteran minimum of $477,000.’

\’The Rochester area responded by turning out an average of 6,100 fans per workout and some 122,000 over the course of camp, both figures tops the National Football League.\’

The Bills believe they’ve almost picked up a free draft pick in Farris, a former 3rd rounder of Pittsburgh in 1999 who was out all last season with a left foot stress fracture. The 1998 Outland Trophy winner from UCLA, Farris signed in April and after some fine minicamp showings has moved ahead of incumbent right tackle Robert Hicks.

The Bills agreed to terms with their two 2nd round draft picks, defensive end Aaron Schobel and running back Travis Henry.

Both were scheduled to sign their respective deals when rookies and selected veterans were to report to training camp later in the day.

As a rookie in 2000, he saw a small amount of playing time, finishing with three receptions on the year, but he did have one very important task.

\”I was the chicken man,\” Cavil said. \”Before games I had to go to KFC and get the chicken for the team. That was my job.\”
