Two Bills Drive

"You have to go out and be consistent. From the first day I became a starter, I wanted to go out and improve each year and get better. I’m going to try to do that, and each year get better, and make a play here and there to get us over the top. My goal is to get to the Superdome [for Super Bowl XXXVI].

‘An infected tooth kept Pat Williams’ out of training camp workouts Sunday. Williams watched from the sideline as the Bills participated in their first training camp sessions with veterans and rookies. Leif Larsen and Jarrett Procell initially subbed for Williams with the first team.’

‘"There’s an excitement here, a brand new offense, a brand new defense, a new coaching staff and GM, you’ve got a wholesale change here," said tight end Jay Riemersma. "It’s fun, it’s exciting, and I think the practice and tempo that you saw today will continue throughout the practices."’

‘"It’s just a wonderful facility, not just for the players, but for the franchise," Wilson said. "People can come here from all over and watch practice and it creates enthusiasm, especially for the youngsters. Rochester’s a great city and very important to the Bills. They’ve embraced us."’

‘Even inside the Wegmans merchandise tent on the Fisher campus, the division manifested itself. Flutie bobbing head dolls and T-shirts were displayed right next to ones bearing Johnson’s likeness. A worker, requesting anonymity, said the Flutie shirts were out-selling the Johnsons.’

‘"I could have gone somewhere else and got some type of numbers like that, but you have to have teammates to get it done. To win a Super Bowl, I can’t win it by myself."’

‘The billboards feature a shot of Levy in a blue Bills jacket and the words, "right here, right now," which are taken from one of the coach’s most oft-quoted pre-game speeches. The hall of fame’s logo also appears on the billboard.’

‘"I think our organization with Tom and the coach, we’re going to have a really good team. It may take a little longer than what the fans would like, know what I mean?"’

‘"You look at it, I think I’d be hard-pressed to find a group in the NFL as deep and as good as this group," Bills rookie receivers coach Fred Graves said.’

"It was good to get started the whole team back together today. Both Tom Donahoe and I were talking at practice on how crisp things were for the first practice, and I want to give credit to these guys for the time they put in the off-season. They started off today without missing a beat from where they left off June 14th, and that was exciting. We did a lot of first situational things this morning. We did a few third down things, but for the most part it was based on both sides of the ball…"
