Two Bills Drive

‘The Bills returned to practice Tuesday afternoon following Sunday’s game with the Rams, and they got a little bit of a scare when quarterback Rob Johnson left practice early after suffering an injury in drills. However, coach Gregg Williams said his injury wasn’t serious and wouldn’t keep Johnson out for a significant length of time.’

‘"It looks like Rob banged that jammed (index) finger again," Williams said. "We’ll go ahead and treat it and ice it. After a good practice today, we were going to hold him out tomorrow anyway."’

‘"It shows that he has some confidence in me," Price said. "Coach Williams and I have a great relationship. He’s on me a lot. He wants me to perform well. He thinks that I can perform at a high level, and that’s basically what he was throwing out there. It’s time for me to step up and have a big year."’

‘"Overall, we have a lot to work on and point to next week," Williams said as Buffalo resumes practicing at St. John Fisher College outside of Rochester, N.Y., on Tuesday. "We have to go back to training camp and concentrate on correcting the little things."’

‘With a new West Coast Offensive scheme under head Coach Gregg Williams and a new starting quarterback , Rob Johnson, it seems things are about to change for the Buffalo Bills. The players that will stand out and make the Bills final roster are the ones who step up here in the preseason.’

"For sure you can see that there were too many negative plays here to start the ballgame out and throughout the ballgame. That’s not the way we like to play. I thought that I saw some good positive things to build on. I thought I saw Travis Henry run the ball pretty effectively."

‘I feel naturally I play aggressive, a lot of people say I play too aggressive. Naturally playing aggressive will help me to fit in to a solid defense.’

"The camardamereship that I had with the guys that I played with and walking out on the field on Sunday or Monday nights, that is the best feeling in the world."

FASTNET used their existing Wireless network in Rochester, NY to deploy a roaming Wireless LAN solution allowing Logical Solutions to use their portable web cam anywhere inside the stadium. The result is live footage from the Bills training camp that fans can access via MyRochester.com, a LogicalSolutions.net web site, or WCMF.com daily from 6 – 11am.

‘Still, they out-gained the Bills, 375-173, in total yardage and were much more potent offensively, though trailing 10-7 with 14 minutes to play. As Williams noted, "We’ve got a lot to work on." And, clearly, he’s right.’

We would like to give a special thanks to all the TBD, TSW, and Bills Daily readers who participated in the chat room last night. While we didn’t break the century mark, we did reach a peak of 98 simultaneous fans in the room! That easily tops any of our chat sessions last year. Last night was a great success and we hope we can top that number this Saturday when the Bills take on the Eagles.

Photos from the game.

‘St. Louis recorded 17 points in the fourth quarter, giving the Rams a 24-10 win over Buffalo in front of 36,043 at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Rams turned a 10-7 deficit early in the fourth with a Justin Watson touchdown, a Jeff Wilkins field goal and Chris Cummings kickoff fumble recovery for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to drop the Bills to 0-1 on the pre-season. ‘

‘Travis Henry took Round One of the Buffalo running back derby, and the Bills suffered no serious injuries Sunday night. Those were the most significant developments in the Bills’ preseason opener at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

‘Brian Moorman and Jay Taylor had their first opportunity to show they deserve the job Sunday night during the Bills’ 24-10 preseason-opening loss to the St. Louis Rams at Ralph Wilson Stadium. For the most part, it was a good audition for both.’
