Two Bills Drive

‘The NFL is an elite brotherhood, a fraternity that will consist of just 1,643 of the most gifted and fortunate football players by the time training camps have once again done their evil weeding out. So when the Bills took a knee and listened to captain Henry Jones lead them in prayer, they were honoring one of their own.’

‘It is doubtful that Hansen will play in the scrimmage against Cleveland, but he may get some reps in tomorrow’s two practices with the Browns.’

"We want to open up today by saying every member of the Buffalo Bills organization wants to extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Korey Stringer’s family and friends and every member of the Minnesota Vikings organization," coach Gregg Williams said at his daily press conference.

‘"I argued with the trainers," Moore said. "I told them I’d rather be out here instead of standing around and getting stiff."’

‘While most Bills players and coaches didn’t know the Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl tackle personally, it didn’t stop them from mourning the loss of what many regarded as an NFL family member.’

‘Unless the subject is Bills executive Tom Donahoe. "I really don’t care for the general manager much," Holecek said. "That guy is a (jerk)." Ouch.’

The Bills will travel to Edinboro University on Thursday and practice twice with the Cleveland Browns on Friday at Sox Harrison Stadium. The two teams will scrimmage on Saturday morning. The last time Edinboro hosted an NFL scrimmage was in 1995 when the Bills and Steelers got together…

"I feel great. I've got to shake the rust off, the ankle feels good it's all I've been worrying about the last two years when I went last year to camp with the Steelers it wasn't feeling right yet. It's finally feeling good, now all I have to do is work on the football. I've been out of it for two years so any extra bit of help…I promised myself when I was out of it that I'd always work on my stuff and wouldn't let it ride. If I do something wrong at practice…

The first time I met Marv Levy was in the fall of 1986. I wasn't yet a writer; in fact, I wasn't even in junior high school. When Levy was hired by Ralph Wilson and Bill Polian in November of 1986, I was a 10 year-old fifth-grader and a brand-new Bills fan…

‘The Friday sessions, which are free to the public, will have "no tackling whatsoever," said Browns coach Butch Davis. The teams essentially will engage in individual position drills and 7-on-7 sessions beginning at 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The scrimmage on Saturday is full speed and will have live tackling (except quarterbacks). A series of full-speed kicking and punting drills will kick off the scrimmage at 10:55 a.m.’

‘"They all are skilled. It is loaded," tight ends coach Dan Neal said. "It’s a good position to be in, team-wise."’

‘"Our offense is a lot smoother than it was last year during camp. I just see a lot more open guys than there were in the past."’

Former Ohio State Buckeye Corey Stringer collapsed at practice yesterday and was unresponsive upon arrival at the hospital. He had an extremely high core temperature of over 108 degrees. Stringer developed multi-organ system failure throughout the day and night. He never regained consciousness and despite all efforts his heart failed at 1:50 a.m.
