Two Bills Drive

Bob Lamb sports his analysis skills in evaluating the Redskins vs. Buffalo matchup.

Article illustrates that one of Buffalo’s strengths is it’s 3 veterans. Andre, Bruce & Thurman teach by example and with words.

‘Flutie and Rob Johnson are both listed as starters on the Bills’ depth chart, but even Johnson admits Flutie is No. 1 right now. Both will get more time than in the 24-10 victory at Seattle last week, when coach Wade Phillips brought the subs in early and didn’t use Andre Reed, Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas at all.’

‘Buffalo veterans Bruce Smith, Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas won’t play forever. Or will they?’

‘In 39 previous summers, the team has had just eight winning records in practice games. Four of them occurred in the franchise’s first seven years. Only one has occurred in the past 16.’

‘Dusty Renfro, the pride of Cleburne, Texas, is an undrafted rookie trying to beat the odds with the Buffalo Bills. But three short weeks into training camp, the leading tackler at the University of Texas the past two seasons has shown that maybe he’s not such a long shot Longhorn.’
