Two Bills Drive

The Bills concluded their four-day off-season camp with a 90-minute workout on Thursday. The team will break until early June when they plan to workout eight more times from June 4-7 and June 10-13 before the early group reports to training camp on July 24.

‘"I thought it was very productive, as far as understanding tempo and systems," [Greg Williams] said. "There’s still a long way to go. There’s a lot of youth to the team, and when you have that many unrestricted free agents, we have to get to know one another."’

Tickets for the general public will be available beginning on Friday, May 31 at all Tops Friendly Markets locations and will be limited to four per person.

Bledsoe: I love Buffalo. It's been really a pleasant surprise for us. The people in Buffalo have welcomed us with open arms.

Bledsoe: I think that the offense we are running with Kevin Gilbride is probably about as good as it gets for me.

‘Second-year pros Marques Sullivan and Kris Farris also will compete for the job, but Teague’s experience should give him the edge.’

‘Playing under his third coordinator in as many years, and with his fourth starting quarterback in four seasons, Price has a chance to realize the untapped potential he claims is inside him.’

‘While career receiving leader Andre Reed played 11 of his 15 seasons in Buffalo with one quarterback (Jim Kelly) and a couple of offensive coordinators, Moulds is starting over with his sixth starting quarterback and fifth coordinator.’

‘Financial details of the agreement were not immediately available because the deal is not signed, but the extension will run through the 2003 season. Without the new deal, Centers would have been eligible for unrestricted free agency next spring.’

‘"The most important thing you can have as a quarterback is to know you’re protected on your blind side," said Bledsoe, the Bills’ new marquee player. "There’s no question that having Trey over there with some experience is important. He has been effective against NFL pass rushers."’

The 27-year-old Teague has been somewhat defensive — especially about the prospect of playing center, which he hasn’t played since he was at the University of Tennessee.

"I’m looking forward to starting at left tackle. I’m prepared to compete for that position the best I can," he said. "At this time, I’m preparing the best I can to play tackle and learn the system here."

What about playing center? "I don’t really want to get into that."

Now that the initial introductions are over, the battle for jobs has begun. "We're loaded at every position right now so people are going to have to fight for a job, said linebacker Brandon Spoon. "It's going to be an interesting June camp and training camp."

The Bills today announced the ticket procedures for the team’s uniform unveiling event at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday, June 8. The event is free to attend but a ticket will be required for admission.

‘Ephedra is an ingredient in about 200 supplements that are commonly used for weight loss, boosting energy or building muscle mass. Nevertheless, consumer watchdog Public Citizen last year called ephedra "the most lethal" dietary supplement and has urged the Food and Drug Administration to ban it.’

‘Tacking the date to the wall also would be a way of saluting the players from the Super Bowl years who won’t make it up on the Wall individually: Frank Reich, who orchestrated that 41-38 victory out of thin air, Kenneth Davis, Jeff Wright, Nate Odomes, House Ballard and the rest.’
