Two Bills Drive

‘"If Drew Bledsoe and Eric Moulds start hooking up, it will make a big difference. Rob Johnson could never get the ball to him."’

‘The Bills should make progress this season and play very competitively. But they have enough holes yet and a tough schedule that could keep them from making the playoffs. They could make things interesting over the latter half of the season as the core meshes together – but this could be a very intriguing team to watch in 2003.’

‘The Buffalo Bills already seem so much better than last year’s sad sacks that linebacker London Fletcher has all but guaranteed the playoffs. I don’t know about that, but I do know the Bills can cause trouble in the AFC East if quarterback Drew Bledsoe and his offensive coordinator find what they’re after. Around here, it’s called redemption.’

You may not like him, but you can’t help but admire Tom Donahoe for the strength in leadership he’s shown in the short time he’s been general manager of the Buffalo Bills. Donahoe is the guy who had the guts to cut Doug Flutie. He’s the guy who straightened out the salary cap, too. He’s the guy who found rookie replacements for salary-cap casualties. And now he’s the guy who oversees the rebuilding of one of the AFC’s best and brightest organizations through marvelous drafting and shrewd free-agent acquisitions.

‘"It’s not done yet, but it’s looking positive," Ahanotu’s agent Scott Langley said on Wednesday, updating the progress of contract talks. "I know it’s close."’

The Buffalo Bills and Verizon Wireless have teamed up to ask Western New Yorkers to help fight domestic violence. In the joint effort, Verizon and the Bills urge Bills fans to donate their no longer used wireless phones at the remainder of Bills' training camp and at Verizon Wireless stores. Also, a special collection will take place before the October 27, Bills game against the Detroit Lions at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

‘Bills coach Gregg Williams said on Wednesday Brown is close to being cleared to resume practicing, and Jennings isn’t expected to miss a significant period of time.’

‘This could be a make-or-break camp for three Bills veterans: DE Erik Flowers, who is struggling with a neck injury, DE Bryce Fisher and WR Jeremy McDaniel. Trade rumors continue to float around Buffalo regarding RB Shawn Bryson. The thinking is that the Bills are waiting for another team to have an injury at RB, after which they can make an offer. Bryson is currently slated to be the primary backup for Travis Henry, but the Bills have two other RBs who could fill that role in Sammy Morris and Richard Huntley. Don’t be surprised if Bills guard Marques Sullivan supplants veteran Jerry Ostroski as the starting right guard. Ostroski remains on the PUP list with a leg injury, and Sullivan has been playing very well.’

‘Both were late acquisitions, signed just before the start of training camp.’

"Sometimes you can put too much pressure on a guy when he’s in his third year… and I think that (happen) to Keith," Bills defensive coordinator Jerry Gray said. "(In 2000, he was) starting and dominating and then you have to play like Sam and you have to play in the nickel, the dime and the ruby (cover packages) – to me, it was actually too much, but he took it and didn’t complain. He did his job and I think that will help Keith this year."

The Bills today announced that the team has released CB Jykine Bradley and WR Delrico Fletcher. Bradley, a 5-10, 182-pound defensive back out of Middle Tennessee signed with the Bills as a free agent on July 17. Fletcher, a 6-1, 200-pound wide receiver out of Rutgers signed with the Bills as a free agent on July 23.’
