Two Bills Drive

‘Three Lions assistant coaches from last year have been told they will not be brought back — Jim Zorn (quarterbacks)…Two offensive assistants have agreed to terms — Carl Mauck (offensive line) and Maurice Carthon (running backs).’

‘Lewis scoffed at rumors that he had a bad interview with the Bills.’

‘Bills president and general manager Tom Donahoe said Monday the team has sought and been granted permission to speak with Zorn, who has two seasons remaining on his contract in Detroit, but might not fit into the staffing plans of new coach Marty Mornhinweg there.’

‘Mauck would be the latest assistant to leave Buffalo, which is in the midst of changing its coaching staff under newly-hired head coach Gregg Williams, who took over following Wade Phillips’ dismissal.’

"Tennessee Titans assistants Jeff Gray and Ronnie Vinklarek were the first to be interviewed for positions with the Buffalo Bills coaching staff.’

‘The Buffalo Bills re-signed three members of their practice squad…Josh Roth…Corey Hulsey…Jarrett Procell.’

‘The Buffalo Bills are on the verge of making Eric Moulds the NFL’s highest-paid receiver.’

‘One of the greatest aspects of Two Bills Drive is that we have readers located throughout the world. So when it comes time to share Bills news, we have "local" reporters in every market! Sunday was no exception, as longtime Stadium Wall message board poster, Eric/Hawaii, sent us his photos from the Pro Bowl! Thanks Eric!’

‘According to sports talk radio, WGR55, Ted Washington’s agent has refused to restructure his contract.’

Orchard Park, NY – The Buffalo Bills today announced that the team has re-signed guard Corey Hulsey, defensive end Jarrett Procell, and fullback Josh Roth. All three players were with the team as unsigned free agents during the 2000 preseason and spent the entire regular season on the practice squad. Roth played at the University of Buffalo after starring at Pine Valley Central High School. Hulsey and Procell joined the team as unsigned rookie free agents out of Clemson and Louisiana Tech, respectively.

‘It’s telling that there was no groundswell of protest when Wilson tendered Phillips his pink slip. And, since then, the Bills’ 82-year-old owner has done everything right … either by plan, or sheer good fortune.’

WGR reported that former Bills quarterback, Joe Ferguson, will be interviewed for the QB coach position.

Anderson, Lewis’s very vocal agent, accuses the Bills of bias in the negotiations with Lewis. If anything the Bills were biased TOWARD Lewis for Lewis was the only candidate who got a second interview due to him "not interviewing well" the first time. Tom Donahoe, who hired him before in Pittsburgh, felt he may have been exhausted after his Super Bowl run and wanted to give him a second chance.

The Bills line has not been described as tough last three years so following quote may not be a compliment:

"A coaching change could be coming on the Lions’ offensive line. Carl Mauck, who played 12 NFL seasons with four teams, was at the Silverdome on Friday. Mauck has been an NFL assistant with six teams since 1982 and with Buffalo the last three. His units have reflected his toughness as a player."

‘Marv and a Fish agree – they hope their accomplishments stand forever. With NFL parity, Levy’s record of coaching four straight Superbowls is more likely to stand than Buoniconti’s record of being a member of an undefeated team.’
