‘”We reached our goal as far as teaching the players what our tempo is,” said Marrone. “They’ve responded in a professional way, which is greatly appreciated by myself and the staff. We’re excited. That’s how it should be. We know we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but it’s also hard work that we’re looking forward to.”‘

‘Marrone brought along seven assistant coaches from Syracuse to join him on the Bills staff including offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, running backs coach Tyrone Wheatley, tight ends coach Greg Adkins, and defensive backs coach Donnie Henderson.’

That’s what they used when they used to actually cut and paste to make the 16-mm film. My dad would let me come in there and help cut it and paste it.”‘

‘Instead, I remain a relatively despondent fan, numb to the organization’s many failures and conditioned to expect the worst, no matter how promising things may appear.’
