T.O. doesn’t mind leading if it’s called for
Terrell Owens was asked if he sees himself in a leadership role with the Bills. Knowing there are some proud leaders on the roster already, Owens wisely chose his words carefully, while also trying to clear up a common misconception about himself. “I can do that,” said Owens of being a leader. ”And it can be [...]

Edwards does not have groin injury
After throwing out the first pitch and taking batting practice at the Blue Jays game in Toronto last week, Trent Edwards had mentioned he had “some groin issues” after taking his swings marveling at how baseball players put all that torque on their midsection. Fans worried that Edwards was legitimately injured, but Edwards cleared that [...]

A horde of Bills fans were on hand decked out in Owens’ gear. Fans chanting T.O., the Jills were there too. After his first OTA practice [...]
Schobel participating
Aaron Schobel is participating in practice, which is a good sign coming off the injury.The current work is walk thru speed, so gauging the extent of his participation is difficult at this time.
Owens present
As expected Terrell Owens is present for the first day of OTAs practicing with his teammates.we’ll have updates later today.
T.O. show has arrived
Suffice to say with Terrell Owens in for Bills OTAs today, the media contingent is considerably larger than usual. Normally for OTAs there are usually no more than 10 to 12 media members. Today there are already that many and it’s a half-hour before the practice session begins. A couple of national outfits are here [...]
Fan Friday 5-15
Jumping right in with another batch of your questions with OTAs set to start on Monday. Let’s get going. 1. Hi Chris, Hope all is well. Two questions: 1. I thought Left Guard was an important position on the line or more important than Right Guard. When we went out and signed Dockery [...]

With the Bills voluntary OTAs opening up on Monday, there’s a strong likelihood Terrell Owens will be on hand from the start of the three day session. At least according to him.

Wendling number change
Buffalobills.com has learned that Bills safety John Wendling will be changing his number after veteran free agent signee expressed an interest in wearing number 29, which he wore back when he played some of his best ball with the Chargers. Wendling agreed to give Florence number 29, which he wore for his first two seasons [...]
Tinoisamoa arrived this morning
I know I promised I’d post the info here, so yes, Pisa Tinoisamoa was at One Bills Drive this morning. I’ve got more on the home page though. He’s getting his physical this afternoon, which is protocol on all free agent visits. I doubt however, that he’ll be made available for comment in light of that [...]
Jackson just another Bills player excited about T.O. addition
In the time Fred Jackson took to talk to the media Wednesday about his new contract with the Bills he also was asked about his thoughts on the addition of Terrell Owens. Naturally the guy was happy knowing how much Owens’ presence will help the run game. “Nobody is happier than I am about T.O. [...]
Joe D. and buddies finish 2,000 mile bike run
Well they did it. Joe DeLamielleure and his two college teammates John Shinsky and Eljay Bowron completed their 2,000-mile bike trek from Michigan State to Matamoros, Mexico to benefit the City of Children Orphanage. A heck of an accomplishment for three 50-somethings. Joe was keeping a running log of the trip. Here are his accounts [...]
What they had said about Nelson
I thought it’d be interesting to go back and look at some of the comments that the draft experts had made about Shawn Nelson prior to the draft. What guys like Mike Mayock and Mel Kiper said pretty much cements the fact that Nelson was a steal in round four. See below. “The guy that [...]
LB Tinoisamoa familiar to Bills’ staff
Former Rams LB Pisa Tinoisamoa, who will reportedly make a visit to One Bills Drive in the near future, would not be a surprising free agent target of the Bills. He matches the body type that Dick Jauron prefers for his linebackers, which is lighter and faster. And there’s one other thing. Bills defensive coordinator [...]
