Two Bills Drive

‘The Buffalo Bills were relieved to be home Thursday after spending most of the previous four weeks sleeping in dormitories and attending meetings at St. John Fisher College.’

For the 3rd year in row, TBD will bring fans together for the annual pick ’em contest. This season we will host the contest on CBS Sportsline. Just sign-up at the link above. The group password is “gobills”. Come join us!

‘"We’ve seen him play. We like his speed. We think he’s got a chance to be a top-flight (speed) pass rusher," coach Dick LeBeau said. "If he can get to the quarterback, we’ll have a spot for him."’

‘The Bengals are hoping linebacker Corey Moore has a little revenge on his mind Saturday. Especially since his Bengals debut will come against Buffalo, the team that just cut him Wednesday. ”It’s going to be just line him up and say, "Sic ’em,’ ” Jim Lippincott, one of the Bengals’ directors of pro/college personnel said of Moore, who was acquired off waivers Thursday.’

‘The Bengals assume Moore’s Buffalo contract, which means Cincinnati is liable for his relatively low $289,000 base salary only if he makes the team.’

‘"We’ve known for several years here in Buffalo with Alex backing up that he can go in and win games for us just like anybody else can," Riemersma said.’

‘Corey Hulsey will be glad to know that the majority of Buffalo Bills fans responding to a team Web site poll want him to start at right guard.’

‘Rookie Travis Henry worked out for the first time since injuring his groin against Philadelphia last week, but Shawn Bryson suffered a sprained ankle and probably won’t play tomorrow at Cincinnati.’

‘Linebacker Corey Moore was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, a day after he was released by the Buffalo Bills.’

"Maybe I am the only one who doesn’t understand why it was GOOD to release Corey Moore. From day one he has provided a nice push from whichever side he has rushed at nearly every opportunity. I am disappointed with Williams/Donahoe for moving this guy to the middle, his third position in two years, and then scarcely giving him a look in games before cutting him."

‘Bryson was to be evaluated later in the day after which his status would be determined for Saturday’s preseason game at Cincinnati, coach Gregg Williams said. Bryson was hurt during a running play when he fell and wound up at the bottom of a pile, eventually requiring help to leave the field.’

‘In the course of a year, the offensive lineman has gone from Buffalo’s practice squad, to jetting across the Atlantic to play in NFL Europe, before returning to take part in Bills training camp this past month.’

Christie, who travels to Scotland every off-season, affirms that Europeans don’t pay a lot of attention to American football. “They’re not that interested; they don’t care about it that much,” he said. “They see it in the wee hours of the morning, 2 or 3 in the morning. They’ll stay up and watch the Super Bowl, but that’s about it. Soccer is that game, and they’re fanatics.”

‘Our director, Nancy,requires each Jill to perform 25 hours of community service each year. Last year I did 60 and actually received an award at our end of year banquet for the Jill who did the most community service. I think it is great that she requires us to do this and I have had many rewarding experiences.’

‘The Bills’ punting and kickoff jobs appear to be Moorman’s to lose after the team released his only competition, Jay Taylor, on Wednesday. Moorman, NFL Europe’s leading punter the last two springs, has never played in a regular-season NFL game.’
