Bills first-round pick Eric Wood has been putting some extra work in on top of getting acclimated to right guard. He’s taking part in some long snapping work. I caught up with him after practice as he had a bag full of footballs slung over his shoulder ready to put in some more work. “I [...]

Pisa Tinoisamoa isn’t ready to make a decision on where he’s going to play in 2009 just yet with visits scheduled for Philly and Chicago next week, but it shouldn’t take him long to see Buffalo and Philly as his two best options. The reason why is both the Bills and Philly are in a [...]
Evans on who the #1 WR is for Bills
Lee Evans was asked with Terrell Owens now on board, who is the number one receiver on offense. Evans offered the following response. “I don’t really think that’s the right question,” said Evans. ”I think you have two very explosive players and you do what you can to get both players involved. Talking about who is [...]
The other benefit of T.O.
With everyone hyped up about how the addition of Terrell Owens will benefit the offense this season, not many have thought about how much Buffalo’s defense will improve, particularly at cornerback knowing Terrence McGee and Leodis McKelvin have to cover Owens and Lee Evans every day in practice. “I don’t know if I’ll make him [...]
Evans: Edwards freedom to change plays biggest difference
Lee Evans spoke after practice today and when asked what the biggest difference is with the offensive scheme this year as opposed to last season said it’s the freedom being given to Trent Edwards to make decisions at the line. “It’s basically letting Trent out there on the field be able to make checks and [...]

Mitchell explained why he changed back to the number he wore with the Giants. “I enjoy that number, it’s a good number,” said Mitchell. “The [...]
A new energy post-Peters?
Trent Edwards said he was “anxious” to get started, Terrell Owens used the word “pumped” for the season. And Kawika Mitchell sees a more talented and deeper defensive unit. But what Edwards said Monday makes you wonder if this team feels like a weight has been lifted since the departure of last year’s holdout Jason Peters. [...]

He didn’t make any promises, but Terrell Owens understands the value of the OTA practices, particularly as a player that’s new to the team and the offensive system. As a result he plans to be in Buffalo for most of the next four weeks. “Yes, I’m going to be here as much as I can,” said [...]
