Two Bills Drive

‘”As a matter of fact I starred in his Nike commercial for three or four years based on that game,” Bledsoe said with a laugh, recalling the ad that featured Smith’s wipeout of Bledsoe.’

‘Long before Gregg Williams had his storied interview with Tom Donahoe. Even preceding Marvin Lewis and John Fox being rumored as the leading candidates for the Buffalo Bills’ head coaching job, there was Dom Capers.’

‘"In my mind, Eric and Peerless are playing as well as any receivers in the league," Bledsoe said this week during a break in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Texans. "Teams are starting to focus on trying to shut them down, but they’re still catching the ball and making plays. "I have supreme confidence in those two guys right now. I’ll take some chances throwing the ball to them that I wouldn’t take if they were other guys."’

‘Utilizing anaconda-like strength with the quick-strike ability of a cobra, Posey has charmed his way to a team-high 3 1/2 sacks — half a sack more than his total for the first four years of his career.’

‘Texans coach Dom Capers and Bills coach Gregg Williams share a common bond as head coaches who were defensive coordinators, so Capers can sympathize with Williams, whose Bills have the 26th-ranked defense in the league, and have allowed an average of 36 points per game, the highest total in the NFL.’

‘Kelly’s role is less about racing and more about profits. His monetary contribution was not revealed, but Cicci said the retired Buffalo Bills quarterback would try to attract sponsors and use his contacts to help market the team.’

‘Kelly is teaming up Frank Cicci to form a team in the Busch Series. The team will be known as Frank Cicci Racing.’

‘Kelly said being involved in the Busch team will also give him another platform from which to generate support for the Hunter’s Hope Foundation, established by Kelly and his wife, Jill, in honor of their 5-year-old son, Hunter, diagnosed shortly after birth with Krabbe Disease.’

It looks like the Buffalo Bills are prepared to part with defensive tackle Tyrone Robertson and will seek to recoup a prorated share of his signing bonus and, after perhaps keeping him around for a week following the end of his suspension, waive him.

Jennings: "That's a no brainer. Georgia! Last two years we've beat Tennessee. We're going to keep it going. I'm definitely going to follow the game. We're looking to beat them by three touchdowns. If you talk to my Georgia boys tell them I said go out there and play ball."

"Eric (Moulds) has helped me a lot along the way. He's been a tremendous help. This year alone, Drew Bledsoe and Kevin Gilbride (have helped me). Drew from the standpoint of having confidence in me and believing in me. Coach Gilbride for the schemes and all the things he allows me to do."

Ten years ago, Ron Wolf pulled off one of the best trades in NFL history — acquiring Brett Favre for the Green Bay Packers for a first-round draft choice. Meanwhile, everybody says "there are no more big trades in the NFL anymore." Well, the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins certainly would not agree with that theory. Trades that these clubs engineered this year are paying handsome dividends.

‘This Sunday, the game will come down to how well the Texans offense performs against a Bills defense that can stop no one.’

Drew Bledsoe will be one of the contributors to first installment.

NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott announced today the debut of TiVo’s first Public Service Advertainment campaign, which features a video showcase and website effort named "Champions for Charity" that seeks to raise funds for the worthy causes supported by some of the biggest stars in the NFL.

‘”It’s been tough because I never know how much I’m going to play from week to week,” said Newman, who made 189 tackles and 11 1/2 sacks the last two years. “Obviously, having just nine tackles is not good. But I can’t control the decisions of the coaching staff. I just have to take advantage of the snaps I do get and maximize those opportunities to the best of my ability.”‘
