Two Bills Drive

‘The deadline is Tuesday at 4pm, but its likely that Gregg Williams will make the moves by Monday.’

‘However, it doesn’t appear the Bills would consider trading Gary unless they could get a midround draft choice in exchange. A Gary trade also would be risky given the possibility that Henry could get hurt.’

‘"I think it’s more of a rotational thing," Reese said. "They want to make sure we’re all ready to go before the season kicks off. If someone goes down, we all need to be ready and we all need to have some experience playing with the first group. It shouldn’t matter what situation it is or who they call on, the coaches have to have confidence in all of us to be able to go in and get the job done."’

‘That’s why they are the team to beat in the AFC East, provided the change in offensive styles doesn’t have that great an impact on a unit that scored points last season.’

‘” That’s a difference-maker play and he’s been playing very well, not only in that situation there, but he’s been doing a good job in special teams,” coach Gregg Williams said of Stamer.’

‘” He’s a very smart receiver in the slot,” Bledsoe said of Shaw, who played for Bills offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride in Jacksonville. ” He does a great job with his moves at the top of his routes and gets himself separation. He has a lot of experience in this offense, so he really understands where we need him to be.”‘

‘”It was a little weird, Fletcher said following Buffalo’s 28-24 victory. “I finally got an opportunity to hit those guys for real, a lot of those offensive stars they have. I missed my only opportunity to get (quarterback) Kurt (Warner) real good, but other than that I got some good hits on the other guys.”‘

‘Bledsoe was not sacked at all, in comparison to last week where he took a beating, the team as a whole yielded no sacks in the entire game. He finished 22-of-29 for 231 yards and 2 touchdowns, with one interception.’

‘The Bills remain relatively healthy. Left tackle Jonas Jennings sustained a concussion in the second quarter, and running back Travis Henry twisted his left foot. Both are expected to be ready to open the regular season.’

‘Bledsoe completed 22 of 29 passes for 231 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He wasn’t sacked once. Receiver Eric Moulds was brilliant, catching nine passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. Receiver Josh Reed, who had not caught a pass the first two exhibitions, caught three balls for 44 yards.’

‘"When they go one on one, he’s the guy who has to win for us," Gilbride said.’

‘"We showed what we’re capable of if we don’t have mistakes," said Bledsoe, who played into the third quarter. "When we don’t make mistakes, we’re efficient. I know we can do a great job offensively."’

‘"He got kicked in the head," Williams said. "He tried to cut on a pass protection. He’s fine. He could have gotten up a lot earlier, but we went through all the precautions that you should do."’

‘After two sloppy preseason efforts by the Buffalo Bills and the regular season just on the horizon, quarterback Drew Bledsoe wasn’t kidding when he said it was time he and his teammates got their act together. Consider it mission accomplished.’

‘Jennings was motionless for several minutes, then was able to get to his feet before being taken off the field by cart. He was injured while pass blocking.’
