‘”I just want to say I’m happy my name has been cleared today,” McIntyre said after the Bills’ practice today in Orchard Park. “I have maintained my innocence all through this process and I’m just glad it’s out of the way. I’m sorry for the embarrassment to my family and to the Bills, and now my focus is on training camp.”‘

‘To this point Bills offensive line coach Sean Kugler is satisfied with the progress of the two rookies. “Both of them are able to adapt to new positions and they have,” said Kugler. “Both are competing for starting positions. Both are doing an excellent job and they’re good in the classroom and workers on the field. Their production has shown up in the team work. Everything we’ve asked of them they’ve done so far and I expect that to continue.” Kugler said he has no reservations about potentially starting two rookies on the offensive line come this fall saying if they earn it they’ll play.’

‘Police suspect another man may be the culprit, and McIntyre was misidentified.’

‘In follow-up meetings with prosecutors, the victim who initially identified McIntyre as the person masturbating at her home said she never actually saw his genitals and was “unable to give other specifics in reference to her allegation,” said Officer Tom Nichols, police spokesman. “Her statement to prosecutors was questionable,” Nichols said.’

‘”I’m just getting back into it, but it feels good being out there,” Youboty said. “I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m looking forward to being 100 percent.”‘

‘”I’m getting it down,” Owens said Tuesday after the Bills completed the first of a three-day mandatory minicamp. “The plays are coming to me. I think the time I’ve been here for the OTAs have been very beneficial. I’m picking up everything and I noticed that I’ve gotten better every day. It’s all about repetition and just getting that quality work in.”‘

‘”For me I have a new offense and new terminology and you’re doing a lot of thinking and you’re processing a lot of stuff so there are some mistakes made,” admitted Owens. “Once I get very comfortable with everything, the signals, the codes, that’s when it will all slow down. Every day has been a work in progress and it’s been good. I’m going to get better with this.”‘

‘The Bills’ offense didn’t huddle once. They spent the entire practice working in a hurry-up format. Quarterback Trent Edwards looked sharp with the first unit, moving methodically up the field and getting the plays off with plenty to spare.’

‘"It does slow down a little bit [for veterans] once you know what you’re doing," Owens said. "With me you have a new offense and new terminology. You’re doing a lot of thinking. You’re processing a lot of stuff.’

‘"I like it being unsettled to a certain degree because there’s a lot to strive for," Fewell said. "By no means are we a top 10 defense. By no means are we a dominating force."’
