Two Bills Drive

‘The Bills want to move their summer home to Rochester for marketing purposes. The Rochester area accounts for 25 percent of their ticket sales. A Rochester-based camp would also provide easier access to clients and fans in Syracuse and the Southern Tier.’

‘With the exception of the last two minutes of each half when an official in the replay booth takes over, each head coach receives two chances per game to challenge calls. The referee watches replays off the television feed on a field-level monitor. If it’s decided the correct call was made, the challenging team loses a timeout.’

‘”…He was running in a drill and [the knee] blew out on him.”

‘”No names, but some of the guys were hitting rugby balls out there, that’s why they were so effective,” said Buffalo Bills kicker Steve Christie, who led the AFC in scoring last season. “By the time they were done with them, they were black. You’d ask, ‘That’s a game ball?’ Yeah, right.”‘

‘Bryson had been drawing raves through the first week of training camp for his play, showing quickness out of the backfield and soft hands.’

New team report from TSN. Gets you excited for the season. GO BILLS!

Great article on Doug. There are Flutie supporters in the media, by gosh!

‘”Can you find someone to replace Tasker and Pike?” DeHaven said. “You’d be asking an awful lot of a guy to come in and do that. But all of the guys we drafted this year can run.”‘

‘Phillips made it clear that unless Flutie plays poorly in the preseason, he’ll start the Sept. 12 opener in Indianapolis.’

‘Free agency and the salary cap continues to shred the depth of most NFL teams, therefore causing massive turnover on the special teams. DeHaven not only has to re-tool the units, he has to find someone capable of replacing the leadership that Tasker and Pike provided.’

‘”He got started a little slow and didn’t have a grasp of the offense until the last few days,” said Dwight Adams, Bills director of player personnel. “But he has the speed and athletic ability that we drafted him for. He’s made some good catches out here.”‘

‘Bills rookie defensive end Bryce Fisher knows that he has no chance of making the team’s final roster this summer. That’s because after Saturday’s preseason opener in Seattle, Fisher must report back to the Air Force Academy where he still has two years to serve before he can even think about playing professional football.’

‘”In the situation I’m in, I normally get the ball so I have to perform. I have to approach it like if I don’t make the plays, I don’t give this team an opportunity to win and I don’t want that on my back.”‘

Another excellent article by TBD feature writer, Bob Lamb.

‘”We’d still like to utilize Kevin as a receiver because he can play,” coach Wade Phillips said. “He made some big catches for us last year. He’s got great speed and he’s a threat to run with it after the catch. But we’d like to pick up our return game and we’re emphasizing that as much as we can with him.”‘
