Two Bills Drive

‘"We don’t want to inconvenience anybody, we really don’t. We want it to be a win win for everybody involved so the best thing to do is to move the location."’

\’His contract is believed to be five years in length and worth roughly $7 million. Signing bonuses for first round picks are averaging $3-4 million.\’

‘He fought his way out of the Atlanta ghetto to earn that football scholarship. Now that same football scholarship is benefiting Jennings in the next phase of his life as he tries to become a pro football player for the Bills.’

‘"This is football 24 hours a day, and I like that. It’s what I wanted," said Aldridge, the Defensive Coordinator at Middle Tennessee State last fall. "Gregg didn’t have to sell me, Gregg sold himself. That was a given a long time ago.’

‘Williams has instituted a policy where if a player makes a dumb mental mistake such as jumping offside, he must run a lap around the practice field.’

‘"As much as you love the Buffalo Bills, we love you just as much," he said.’

‘"Here’s what I believe," Williams said in a recent interview. "Everyone craves discipline. From your child at home to my child at home to these grown men here, everybody enjoys it and understanding that, everybody (with the Bills) is pulling the same rope."’

‘Clements was scheduled to arrive at the Bills’ camp outside of Rochester, N.Y., on Friday evening, and begin practicing with the team Saturday morning.’

‘The Bills’ general manager, head coach Williams, guard Ruben Brown, and the 2001 rookies will all take part in the parade.’

‘I don’t have a lot of tolerance for laziness or for lack of attention. I’m not going to waste anyone’s time.’

‘Williams seemed optimistic that middle linebacker Spoon, the team’s fourth-round draft choice from North Carolina, could recover more quickly than the customary four weeks for sprained knees.’

\’It\’s one thing to have a certain coaching philosophy, but the Bills\’ personnel should have dictated that they stick with the 3-4.\’

‘What he can do is tackle. Holecek – a fifth-round pick by Chargers general manager John Butler in 1995 – had at least 100 tackles the past three years in Buffalo, including 165 last season.’

‘"As far as they are concerned, I’m starting from square one," Fisher said. "Now I’ve got to prove why they should keep me rather than why they should want to keep me around for another year."’

‘Clearly, Johnson and Williams have developed an affinity for one another. It is partly necessity, to be sure. If Williams is to succeed in his first head job, he needs Johnson to prove he can thrive and survive as an NFL quarterback. Williams takes every opportunity to praise him and remind everyone that he is the Bills’ guy.’
