1st practice usually isn’t super sharp for offense
I asked Trent Edwards if there’s something specific he’s going to be focused on entering the first practice to properly set a tone. He’s mentioned the importance of the communication, especially when the practice in a hurry up mode. But coming off a six-week layoff he realizes everyone is going to have to get back [...]
Lindell brings unique item for camp
Bills players bring all sorts of creature comforts to training camp with them. For some it’s a wide screen tv, for others it’s a special mattress for the dorm room bed. For Rian Lindell it was something completely different. The Bills kicker brought his electric guitar (see photo below), which is signed by the members [...]

3 day NFL Draft was inevitable
The NFL announcing that the draft will now be a 3-day event instead of 2 is anything but a surprise. With all the draft crazy people that email us at the website alone it was obvious the NFL was going to take advantage of the ever growing fan base that rabidly follows the draft process [...]

Kawika sporting a mustache
Kawika Mitchell who is making the long drive north to Buffalo from Atlanta for training camp is chronicling his journey on his twitter account, with tweets and photos. The best so far is the shot of himself where he’s sporting a full grown mustache while making a Zoolander face, for those that are familiar with the Ben Stiller [...]
Edwards on upcoming season and T.O.
Trent Edwards taped an interview last week while out at the Lake Tahoe golf tournament with ESPN’s Ed Werder. He naturally was asked a lot about Terrell Owens, but also discussed the upcoming season.

Harris to be more than just a LB?
With the chance to talk to Nic Harris right after he signed his contract today, he made a comment in passing that I didn’t catch at first until I went back and listened to the tape. I asked him about transitioning from safety in college to LB now with the pads going on in camp, [...]

In one of his more recent twitter posts, Mitchell is [...]
