Two Bills Drive

The Bills announced that tickets for the team’s first of the team’s two Monday evening practices during the Buffalo Bills Bausch & Lomb Training Camp will be available to the public next week at all participating Tops Friendly Markets locations.

For instance, the Bills replaced Larry Centers, whose greatest skill is catching the ball, with Sam Gash, who is a bulldozer. They clearly want to pound the ball more often this season, and believe Gash can significantly enhance Travis Henry’s 2002 production.

Dick LeBeau Joined the Bills staff as Assistant Head Coach on March 10, 2003. The '03 season will mark the 45th in the NFL for LeBeau, who played 14 years as a defensive back and has been a coach in the league for the last 30. Most recently, he spent the last three seasons as the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.

‘Two big names have joined the list of participants in this year’s ESL Tours Challenge for Youth. Pro football Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly and Gionta have agreed to play in the event at Lake Shore Country Club on Tuesday, July 22.’

If Billy Shaw hadn’t been a little stubborn, he may have ended up playing in the NFL with a star on his helmet instead of becoming a star in the AFL with the Bills. An All-American offensive tackle at Georgia Tech where he also played defensive end, Shaw didn’t appreciate Dallas’ plan to select him in the 1961 NFL draft and move him to linebacker.

‘ The Buffalo Bills announced on Tuesday that only single seats remain for three of the team’s 2003 home games: New England (Sept. 7), Philadelphia (Sept. 28) and Washington (Oct. 19).’

‘Tickets will be available in person at the Ralph Wilson Stadium box office, the Rochester office in Pittsford Plaza, and at all participating Tops Friendly Markets. For those buying tickets at Tops, a handbill policy will again be in effect.’

‘By the end of September last year, the Bills ranked 24th in total yards allowed and 30th in points allowed. However, Buffalo rallied the last half of the season to finish 15th overall and had a pass defense rated sixth best in the NFL. “We started out kind of slow, but I thought we made a lot of progress from the middle of the season to the end. We didn’t take advantage of some turnovers we came up with that hurt us.”‘

The most obvious pick is Josh Reed of the Bills. "If I were a fantasy football guy, I’d take him," Bills assistant GM Tom Modrak says. With Peerless Price in Atlanta, Reed figures to catch a lot of Drew Bledsoe passes this season. Last year, four Bills players had more receptions than Reed, but none of them had a better average per catch than his 13.8 yards.

‘Fans are reminded that individual game tickets for 2003 home games go on sale starting this Saturday, July 12 at 9:00 AM.’

After minicamp, Bledsoe, who probably tried to do too much to offset last season’s defensive struggles, assessed, “We’ve got the ability to beat anybody in the league. The thing that’s inspiring to me is to see the collective attitude that this team has right now … it’s outstanding, probably the best I’ve ever been around.”
