‘"It was a compilation about what I believe about life, what I believe about the game of football, what I believe about how to treat people," Gailey said in an interview at One Bills Drive last month. "I used to say what’s the opposite of right? Is it left or is it wrong? The opposite of right in that context is wrong. Generally everybody knows right from wrong. So treat people the way you should treat ’em. Do your studies the right way. Go on a date the right way. All those things you try to teach young men to have an impact on their lives."’

Gailey doubles up to toughen team mentality
‘"It’s a big part, especially in your first year," he said. "You’re trying to change the culture. You’re trying to set a standard. You only get one chance to do it the first time."’
Optimism of Buffalo Bills collides with reality
‘"I think I’d be doing them an injustice, and our coaches," Nix continued. "I think we all believe we can win and we’ll feel that way going into every game."’
Buffalo Bills have plenty of question marks, but let’s start with Top 10
‘Trent Edwards appears to be the front-runner as the Bills head to training camp, but Gailey has made it clear the position is wide open. Ryan Fitzpatrick was running the first-string just as much in the spring OTAs as Edwards, and third-stringer Brian Brohm made strides. Gailey plans to give all three as long a look as he can, and it’s anyone’s guess who takes the first snap against Miami on Sept. 12.’
Easley bracing himself for beginning of pro football career
‘”They haven’t really communicated where I fall in the depth chart,” said Easley, who caught 48 passes for 893 yards as a senior at UConn. “But at some point this season, I want to be a contributor to this team, whether that’s on special teams or offense. I do play receiver. At some point, I want to be on offense and making some plays on that side of the ball.”‘
Who will be the left tackle?
‘With the trade of Pro Bowl tackle Jason Peters before last season, the Bills saw a revolving door at the left tackle spot, due mainly to injury. A number of players on the offensive line experienced significant on-the-job training in 2009, and the blindside tackle had its fair share of participants. Considered a major need in the 2010 NFL Draft, the Bills did make a selection that the team believes is a fit for the position, Ed Wang, who will compete with Demetrius Bell and Jamon Meredith to earn a role in the starting lineup this season.’
