Two Bills Drive

‘The Bills will conduct a one hour special teams practice Tuesday morning. The entire team will return to practice in the afternoon. Both sessions are at St. John Fisher College, and opened to the public.’

‘This could be a very competitive group heading in the right direction. The defense should be stabilized, but could be another year away from truly becoming a true contender. Buffalo will push for a playoff spot with eight to ten wins if they avoid injuries.’

‘The Bills won’t win the division. But they won’t finish at the bottom the way they have the past few seasons, either.’

‘Tuesday’s event starts at 5:00 p.m. It is free and open to the public.’

”’I talk every week about penalties,” said Williams. ”But if you take a look at who had them, many of the guys who had them in the second half won’t be here for the first regular-season game."’

‘What’s one of the first concerts that you went to?

"I have never been to a concert."’

‘It’s all about chemistry and us working together. If we get together and we fuse as a unit, whoever the first team will be, we can be good. We have a lot of really talented people, we have a pro bowler, and we have two great tackles. We have a chance to be really good it just depends if we come together and play well.’

‘The event is part of the Bledsoe’s “Parenting with Dignity” program, which is a parent education organization that provides information on all aspects of raising children capable of making responsible decisions. Its mission is to improve the lives of children by promoting and teaching effective parenting skills.’

‘While Tennessee’s 37-24 win over Buffalo offered enough big plays and big hits for a mid-October contest, any sense of drama was completely overshadowed by one inescapable fact — it just didn’t matter.’

Bills officials continue to be impressed with the progress that tailback Willis McGahee has made in rehabilitating from the catastrophic knee injury he suffered only seven months ago, but reiterated their first-round draft choice is not close yet to being able to get on the practice field.

Post your opinion on what Gregg Williams should do to about the double-digit penalties so far this preseason.

‘Bledsoe was nothing but praise for Henry. “We’re going to see some big plays out of Travis this year,” said Bledsoe. “He’s a tremendous back and we’re going to do a good job blocking for him. We just have to get some more big plays out of our passing game.”‘

‘It set the tone for a night when Tennessee consistently tested the Bills’ secondary with long attempt after long attempt. Tennessee amassed 242 yards through the air, almost 100 yards more than they gained on the ground.’

‘After his team committed 10 penalties in the preseason opener at Baltimore, Gregg Williams had his team practice one day for the game in Tennessee with rock music blaring through a stack of 10 loudspeakers along the sideline. "It was supposed to be on the entire last period, but my head was pounding early in practice so we only did it on third downs," Williams said.’

‘After getting selected in the first round and now signing a solid deal, McGahee has already proven a lot of detractors who thought his career was over, wrong. "It’s like the pressure is off me," he said. "I’m glad for the people who stayed in my corner. I just sat back and prayed and I’m happy how things have turned out. The pressure’s off our whole organization about what I’m going to do and how the contract was going to turn out," McGahee added. "We can just concentrate on one thing now, (winning)."’
