DiGiorgio might do limited work in June camp
It’s a long shot since he’ll be right at the seven-month mark out of surgery and ACL tears take 7-9 months to heal, but John DiGiorgio is hopeful he’ll able to do some limited work come mid-June. “If I think I can go and they allow me to go then great, but I think I’ll [...]
The thing about Wood and Levitre
If Wood and Levitre are able to nail down the starting guard roles on the offensive line as rookies, it’s both a good thing and a worrisome thing. Good because it means they’re long term solutions at those positions capable of manning those jobs for years and years. The reason it’s worrisome is because they’re going to [...]
S Roy Williams going to Bengals
I know a lot of Bills fans were hoping Roy Williams would be signed by the Bills and allow Donte Whitner to play FS. But he’s signing with Cincinnati according to NFL.com. With the drafting of Jairus Byrd, Whitner will be at SS with Byrd having a good chance to start at FS. I never saw [...]

OT Levi Jones cut
As expected the Bengals parted ways with veteran OT Levi Jones. The former first-round pick is 29-years old and has been beset with injuries each of the past three years. That’s why the Bengals did not get any takers when he was offered in a trade. But now the risk is reduced as any NFL [...]

Sanborn had a difficult decision
Bills newly signed long snapper Garrison Sanborn, was elated and disappointed all at the same time when he was initially invited to the Bills rookie camp last weekend. Elated because it was an opportunity to show his talent to an NFL club and disappointed because Buffalo’s rookie camp fell on the same weekend as his [...]

New NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith is in Buffalo today and is addressing the Bills players at One Bills Drive this afternoon. Smith has been making his way to each NFL city to introduce himself personally to the men he represents. The Bills were apparently next on that list. Smith has been well received by [...]
Bills a big part of AFL legacy game schedule
The NFL announced which games on the 2009 schedule will be designated as AFL Legacy Games. There are 16 in all and the Bills are part of a quarter of those contests this season. In fact 11 Legacy Games will be match-ups between the eight original AFL teams. As most of you know the Bills and Titans [...]
Maybin jersey number not set in stone
The jersey numbers for Buffalo’s rookies are not set in stone, especially that of top pick Aaron Maybin. Maybin wore 58 at the Bills rookie camp over the weekend. “I wore 59 at Penn State, so I wanted to have the closest number to my college number,” said Maybin last Friday. Jersey number 59 was [...]
Bills not alone in coveting Byrd
As different stories emerge from draft weekend, it appears the Bills decision to select Jairus Byrd in round two was timely since there was a team right behind them that had their eyes on him. According to ESPN.com’s John Clayton the 49ers were going to take Byrd with the 43rd pick, the one right after [...]
Tryout players with a chance
Over the weekend there were a few tryout players that I thought stood a decent chance of getting a call back. Dick Jauron, however, surprised me a bit saying that group could number 5 to 10. Here are a handful of players that I thought might have a shot at being back later this month. [...]
Landing spot for Losman?
With the market not even lukewarm for free agent QB J.P. Losman, there’s one destination that may just be looking for another veteran arm. The Detroit Lions are reportedly still interested in adding a veteran quarterback… as a number three. Lions GM Martin Mayhew told the Oakland Press’ Dave Birkett that he’s “actively looking” for [...]
Maybin showing some leadership
Bills top pick Aaron Maybin on more than one occasion was taking a bit of a leadership role during the rookie minicamp this weekend. At times he’d be encouraging his defensive unit when it was their turn to go out on the field and rep plays. And each day after practice was over and coach [...]
Just some observations
Just thought I’d pass along some of my notes from Saturday’s practice regarding some of the Bills draft choices. Eric Wood is put together real well. The guy is not even in pads yet and he looks like he’d win most battles in the trenches in the NFL. The guy has done well in one-on-ones [...]
Maybin’s first step more than just fast
In taking the time to watch Aaron Maybin at work coming off the edge today (granted against air), there’s no mistaking his quick first step. It’s evident and there every time. As I looked closer, I think I understand there’s more at work there than just great explosion and athletic ability. Maybin’s feet are huge. [...]
