Two Bills Drive

‘The rookie, Henry, has the best chance to be a first- and second-down back. He’s a very powerful runner with a low center of gravity and tremendous desire. On the other hand, Morris is a terrific receiver with good run skills, adequate speed and very good balance and body control but questionable durability. Bryson has the best speed of the three and is a breakaway threat, but he also has the fewest run skills. Hands-wise, Bryson’s between Henry and Morris.’

Buffalo Bills: $1.28 million.

‘FLASHBACK: The following is a transcript of the speech Bills coach Marv Levy delivered at his retirement press conference on Dec. 31, 1997.’

‘Buffalo Bills third-round pick Jonas Jennings is entering his first season in the NFL following a standout career at the University of Georgia. Jennings will be sharing his thoughts on his first season throughout the year on buffalobills.com. You can also see his last report from the end of June Team Camp.’

‘Better sportsmanship will be emphasized, and the officials will be the police. If a player taunts, the referee will march off a 15-yard penalty. Sack dances, spikes, home run swings, incredible hulk type motions, ball spinning and military salutes aimed at opponents or benches will result in 15-yard penalties.’

Right now, McGee (agent from Peerless Price) and Jim Overdorf, the Bills’ contract negotiator, are currently working on a deal to sign Henry. "Contracts are all about timing and patience," McGee says. "Like with Travis Henry, I want to get something done; it’s just difficult at this time."

‘The 4th of July is a time to enjoy fireworks, barbecues, family and friends. The Buffalo Bills use the holiday to appreciate their time at home. After all, these are their days to relax before the stress and hard work of training camp kick in at the end of the month. Some of the Bills prefer to stay low key and watch fireworks at home with their family.’

‘QB Rob Johnson — The Bills made the right decision in making Johnson their starter and letting Doug Flutie walk. Now it’s time for Johnson to show that he can be a legitimate starter. He has all the tools, but he has had trouble staying healthy, some say because he holds the ball far too long. That’s a criticism to some, but isn’t that also an indication of his desire to make a play? Now that the Bills have adopted a version of the West Coast offense, Johnson should have a better chance of staying healthy. Plus, he doesn’t have to worry about the pain from all the knives in his back courtesy of Flutie.’

‘Williams’ was really excited about our offense. He said that we had so many weapons that teams are going to have a real hard time defending the field. He was especially high on Centers, Riemersma, and Moulds. He said that Peerless has been impressive in camp, but he has to take his game to a higher level this year. He said that he expected great things from him.’

26. Bills. This is Rob Johnson’s team after the departure of Flutie. Johnson was a better fit for the new offense, but now he must stay healthy. Backup support comes from Alex Van Pelt, Pete Gonzalez and Tim Hasselbeck.

‘Donahoe added that because of Buffalo’s harsh winters, it’s unlikely that the Bills would choose natural grass.’

‘Quarterback Tim Hasselbeck wants to hear from the fans, and he wants to know your opinion about what your favorite part of game days at Ralph Wilson Stadium! To let Tim know what you like most about coming to Bills games, just drop him an e-mail and let him know!’

‘Continuing their string of upsets, the 13th seeded 1995 Buffalo Bills defeated the 5th seeded 1993 Bills 22-6 in the last Elite Eight quarterfinal game of the Super Bills Tournament.’

‘On the surface, it’s a great way to make a living, playing football for hundreds of thousands of dollars (perhaps millions) in the National Football League. The money, the fame, the adoring fans… However, there can be a dark side to the glory. Young rookies, starry-eyed after their being drafted and reporting to their first team camps, were asked to open their eyes last week.’
