‘While Giancola felt confident heading into the Bills camp, his challenge became greater when incumbent Steve Christie of Oakville had one of his best camps. "He came really prepared," Giancola said. "He hit all his pressure kicks. He was able to line-drive (his kickoffs) into the end zone, that was the big thing. I tip my hat to him. He is the best I’ve ever gone against. "I started off slowly, I’m not ashamed to admit. The first couple days I was nervous, I was in awe." Giancola said it didn’t help when quarterback Doug Flutie suffered a groin injury that will sideline the former Argo until September. The Bills had to find a temporary replacement for Flutie — they re-signed third-stringer Alex Van Pelt — which meant having to create a roster spot.’
