Two Bills Drive

"He takes more hits than any quarterback in the league," says an AFC pro personnel director. "He had guys protecting him last year that would basically be seconds on most teams. Until Rob Johnson can be protected, he’ll never be able to display the talents he has."

‘Two years ago, as the Titans’ defensive coordinator, Williams watched in pleasant disbelief as his team ousted the Bills from the playoffs with a controversial last-minute, trick-play kickoff return in another wild-card game.’

"Training camp’s not supposed to be easy. It’s tough, as it’s a tough man’s game."

"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.\’
