Two Bills Drive

‘Chris Kelsay- This guy is a mountain. I didn’t know husking corn was such a good workout. This guys biceps are as big as my head. Looks very quick off the line and has good form. Handled the second string with ease, never saw him against the first. If Jones thinks he has the starting position locked up he is mistaken.’

”’Right now, if I was another defensive guy, I would say, ‘Make them prove that they can beat us with the running game,”’ he said. ”It’s, ‘Can you win running the ball?’ And if we can, then they have to defend that and it’ll open up the opportunities for us throwing the ball again.”’

‘"Radio is more of a challenge," Miller said. "You have to paint a word picture. Television is easy. The picture tells the story for you. But it’s different in radio. You have to give your listeners the feeling as if they were there."’

‘While Graves is out, the Bills will shift assignments among their assistants. Running backs coach Les Steckel will coach the wide receivers.

‘If die-hard Buffalo Bills fans could have spent 10 minutes watching and listening to Takeo Spikes on Saturday afternoon, they probably would have jumped in their car, driven directly to Ralph Wilson Stadium and started camping out for the Sept. 7 season opener against New England.’

‘” I think moreso it’s not that I was needed (by the Bills), but how much I needed them,” Spikes said. ” It’s a good tradeoff.”‘

‘Undrafted in large part because he’s small (5-foot-8, 191 pounds), Simonton didn’t have a spot in football last fall after he was cut in mini-camp by the San Francisco 49ers. ” When you don’t get into camp, trying to get into this league is a monster,” Simonton said. ” It’s like one team doesn’t want you until they find out another team likes you.”‘

‘Former Browns coach Sam Rutigliano wasn’t sure if Joe D. could be acquired when the trade was made in 1980. “It took us a New York hiccup to make that decision,” Rutigliano said in a recent interview.’

‘Walking up the stairs to the team’s headquarters at St. John Fisher College, alongside fellow starting linebackers London Fletcher and Jeff Posey, Spikes called out to a group of reporters. ”Here are the three best linebackers in the league,” Spikes said. ”Print it, fax it, write it, photocopy it. This is where it’s at.”’
