Two Bills Drive

"It's extremely exciting for me, said Buffalo's top receiver. "I'm just going to go out there and work hard. Drew loves to throw the ball deep so I think we're going to have some exciting times out there at Ralph Wilson Stadium."

Williams denied that Fina’s absence foretold an imminent release. "John and I talked about that," the coach said. "He probably came back (from off-season surgery) too fast last year. There’s nothing to read into that."

Hull was the greatest center in Bills history, playing with the franchise for 11 seasons. He was one of the reasons that the Bills were a dominant force in the AFC during the early 1990s. Hull joined the NJ Generals of the USFL in 1983, and when the USFL folded in 1986, he joined former Generals teammate Jim Kelly in Buffalo, where he spent his entire NFL career.

Which game he will be inducted has not been revealed yet.

But while Jennings rates among the Bills’ top five linemen, according to their coaches and general manager Tom Donahoe, it would be premature to assume he will line up at tackle again in 2002. Instead, with Buffalo having improved the quality and quantity of a young blocking unit during the offseason, Jennings could be moved to center.

Curtis Alexander was a game hero, rushing 17 times for 109 yards (average 6.4 yards) and was the leading receiver as well catching 4 passes for 51 yards as their team rebounded from last week’s first loss of the season last week without him. Alexander had many critcal plays including a 24 yard run and a 34 yard run and a 30 yard pass.

The number 11 is the number of former Bills QB Rob Johnson, and just happens to be the number of Bills new QB Drew Bledsoe. A fan was sold a “taped” jersey with Bledsoe’s name taped over a Johnson Jersey. Video clip included.

‘The quarterback is most visible, and how Bledsoe carries himself will be watched closely in the coming months. How he represents Buffalo the team is how he represents Buffalo the town.’

‘"There have been two or maybe three centers besides Kent who I thought have been the superior centers in the game. Mike Webster (of Pittsburgh) was one. Then there was (Miami’s) Dwight Stephenson and (Pittsburgh’s) Dermontti Dawson. Each were a little different. I’d have to rate Kent the No. 1 pass protector of the four."’

‘He’s still the $40 million man, and now he has the right quarterback and presumably the right offensive coordinator, Kevin Gilbride.’

‘Hull, a three-time Pro Bowler and hands-down the greatest center in Bills history, has been chosen as the Wall’s 19th member.’
