Two Bills Drive

‘Modrak is considered one of the most astute talent evaluators in the NFL. He immediately became a target of several teams after being fired by Philadelphia last month. With the Bears moving at a slow pace, he decided joining the Bills was a better option.’

‘Citing a host of troubles, from poor play-calling to an overall lack of organization, the five-time Pro Bowl guard accused Phillips of messing up what could have been a memorable Bills era.’

‘Considered a prime candidate for future NFL executive openings, Modrak didn’t rule out the possibility his time might be short with the Bills.’

‘”Evidently his phone’s broken down or maybe in the surgery his ears got numb, because he hasn’t called me back,” Bills coach Gregg Williams said, referring to two messages that Moore failed to return on Tuesday. “Patience is not my middle name. So he needs to get here as soon as possible.”‘

‘People have questioned Rob Johnson for his lack of community involvement (not having bought a house here) , but I think he is quietly doing the right things. ‘

‘Buffalo Bills linebacker Corey Moore did not attend the start of minicamp Tuesday, but he had a good reason.’

‘Steve Tasker knew what people were saying behind his back, that he couldn’t overcome his size disadvantage to become a productive football player. Once in high school, a Division III coach informed Tasker he wasn’t going to recruit him because he thought he was too small.’

‘No contract has been signed, but the terms have been agreed upon, according to Scott Berchtold, Bills vice president of communications. The team will introduce Modrak at a news conference today.’

‘Williams needs to have a frank conversation with Moore and give him a piece of his mind. The kid is messing up. He’s messing with his life and with his team. If the coach can’t control him, then he should get him out of here.’

‘"The problems we had started all the way up with Wade," Brown explained, "because if your head coach isn’t on the same page as your team leaders, then there’s no way that the coach can communicate to the rest of the players."’

‘Donahoe said Modrak will oversee college scouting for the Bills as well as "offer his expertise in all areas of day-to-day operations. Tom is a high-class individual and will be a tremendous addition."’

"The subsidy for older veterans was one of the keys to the deal,… Under the agreement all players with more than four years in the league will cost the clubs the same in both cap room and dollars, even though the older players will be making more." If a 10-year veteran is due to make the new league minimum salary of $750,000, only $450,000 would count against the cap.

23. Gregg Williams, Buffalo Bills. He has prepared his whole life to be an NFL head coach, so don’t expect Williams to blow it. He works as hard as anybody and appears to have a solid grasp of the fine line between pushing too much and pushing not enough. As a defensive coach, he’s one of the best. He likes to be aggressive, which is a plus with all the speed in the NFL these days. He has a chance to be a real good one.
