Two Bills Drive

‘Roth, however, is no delusional fan. Although he has never been an official Buffalo Bill, he has been on the team’s payroll for more than a year. Now if he can just get on the field and try to earn a spot on the roster.’

‘Bills coaches said they emphasize the importance of avoiding dehydration from the first meeting of rookie camp, where coaches hand out charts detailing food and fluid replacement depending on the player’s weight. Part of the veteran’s first camp meeting contains an explanation of the chart.’

‘The former Virginia Tech star said he expects to play this weekend, when Buffalo travels to Edinboro University to scrimmage and practice with the Cleveland Browns.’

‘"I’m just happy to be back out here," said Moore. "It felt good. You can sit on the sideline and get all the mental reps you want, but that only helps a little. "It’s important for me to be out here. I’m already behind, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do."’

‘The Bills learned of the heatstroke-induced death of Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Korey Stringer before yesterday morning’s workout, and while a cloud of sadness hung over the practice field at St. John Fisher College, it was otherwise business as usual.’

‘It is doubtful that Hansen will play in the scrimmage against Cleveland, but he may get some reps in tomorrow’s two practices with the Browns.’

"We want to open up today by saying every member of the Buffalo Bills organization wants to extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Korey Stringer’s family and friends and every member of the Minnesota Vikings organization," coach Gregg Williams said at his daily press conference.

‘"I argued with the trainers," Moore said. "I told them I’d rather be out here instead of standing around and getting stiff."’

‘While most Bills players and coaches didn’t know the Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl tackle personally, it didn’t stop them from mourning the loss of what many regarded as an NFL family member.’

‘Unless the subject is Bills executive Tom Donahoe. "I really don’t care for the general manager much," Holecek said. "That guy is a (jerk)." Ouch.’

The Bills will travel to Edinboro University on Thursday and practice twice with the Cleveland Browns on Friday at Sox Harrison Stadium. The two teams will scrimmage on Saturday morning. The last time Edinboro hosted an NFL scrimmage was in 1995 when the Bills and Steelers got together…
