Sure, quarterbacks coach David Lee was tweeting about the "confidence in Fitz's eyes" and the receiving corps looked deep even with their leader, Stevie Johnson, nursing a surgically-repaired groin in street clothes, but it was the defense that provided the most promising news after the first week. First year Bills defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt may have been sporting a neck brace this week after minor surgery (he's had neck problems since 1974, when he was drafted by the Packers and spent his only NFL season on the injured reserve), but that didn't mean he was interested in talking about last year's injury plagued campaign, instead focusing on the potential he's seeing for the upcoming season.

Bills DT Kyle Williams Making Surprising Post-Injury Progress

Via GridironFans.com  |  June 02, 2012
When Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams was able to take part in individual drills on day one of the team's OTAs this week, it was considered a surprising step forward in his progress coming off of Achilles surgery last season. It should be considered even more surprising, then, that Williams was seeing limited 11-on-11 team work by the end of the first week of spring...
