Bills’ offense working through the kinks

‘”I think we came out and we practiced well,” Gailey said. “It wasn’t lights out, but you hope it’s not lights out against your defense. But I thought we practiced well. We had three more penalties — pre-snap penalties — and we’re gonna alleviate those.”‘

‘The most interesting part of this job has to be the invitation to sit in on the pregame production meeting. This is when the Bills Head Coach sits down with the broadcasters to go over details about the game. We would never get this access during the regular season. Bills Communications director Scott Berchtold begins my spelling out the rule that what is said in that meeting is to enhance the broadcast, not to report before the game. That might not seem like a big deal in the preseason, but before a regular game the coach meets with just the CBS or Fox Network team and tells them things, at times, that could make a huge difference to the opposing team.’

Practice Notes – Day 12 – Run game emphasized

‘”A lot of people don’t know that we were very vanilla in the game,” said Fred Jackson in reference to last Thursday night. “We didn’t bring a lot so we didn’t do a lot.

We’ve got to keep putting together good practices and once we get the groundwork laid out I think we’ll be okay.”‘

Young shows promise with athleticism

‘"It could be better," Young said after the Bills’ 7-6 loss on Thursday. "I grade low. That’s how I grade myself. I can definitely get better. And not just myself but everybody as an offense, I felt like we can do better. So [we’re] just trying to get back to the drawing board and get ourselves prepared for next week."’

Buffalo Bills give Dorin Dickerson a chance

‘”Coach Wannstedt recruited me to Pitt and was my coach for four years,” he said. “He asked how everything was going and then he said, ‘We’re looking to get an H-back and we want to see if you can still do it.’ “‘

Hot Reads from Bills/Redskins

‘The penalties. 14 for 134 yards! Those numbers are so high you’d think the NFL had replacement officials who didn’t know what they were doing throwing flags. Oh. Wait…’
