Vince Young seems to have accepted his role as a backup quarterback since being signed to a one-year contract by the Buffalo Bills on Friday, but on Tuesday, in his first general meeting with the media since his signing, he made it clear he wasn't going to be calling the Bills a Dream Team as he did the Philadelphia Eagles. "What I was basically saying is just the respect of the players. Just like we have here, we have a lot of respectable players on this team as well. From Fitz (starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick), from Jax (Fred Jackson), it's a long list of guys," Young said. "I definitely won't make that comment again because it was definitely blown out of proportion." Young's characterization of the Eagles as a Dream Team when he played in Philadelphia last year got a lot of play before last season and even more when the Eagles got off to a slow start and finished 8-8. Young, who is entering his seventh NFL season, learned from his...

Vince Young is behind starter Ryan Fitzpatrick “100 percent”

BUFFALO—Vince Young continues to cement himself as the second-most talked about backup QB in the NFL. That was Matt Leinart’s job for almost 24 hours and then Bills coach Chan Gailey decided to show his love and admiration for Young as soon as they got him in the building. At his first press conference with the local media, Young did absolutely nothing to stir the public peanut...

Bills told Ryan Fitzpatrick he’s their guy before they signed Vince Young

Despite the fact that the Buffalo Bills signed free agent quarterback Vince Young, they had told starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick before they signed Young that he isn’t in danger of losing his starting job. “Buddy Nix has been a guy that has been very fair to all his player, he’s been a guy who’s been trying to create a competitive atmosphere,” Fitzpatrick told SiriusXM...

Cordy Glenn to play left tackle for Bills

The Buffalo Bills are planning to let 2nd-round pick Cordy Glenn compete for the starting job at left tackle, and began using him there this weekend at rookie camp. It’s an odd decision considering Glenn’s size (6’6″, 343 lbs) and his lack of athleticism. Most draft analysts, myself included, assumed Glenn would be shifted inside to guard or to right tackle. Bills new left...

Buddy Offers Tasty Nugget About TJ Graham Selection

A few days ago the Bills posted a video that’s a mini documentary of sorts that gave a glimpse inside the Bills draft process. It was bit propaganda-y, but Buddy Nix made a comment that made our ears perk up, and offered some insight into the difference between media/fan draftnik’n and player evaluation and how the pros do it. I don’t think I’m telling any tales out of school...

Young getting last chance with Bills

He's humble. He's contrite. The man on the other end of the phone is reflective and appreciative of his new job as a potential backup to a quarterback out of Harvard. He's Vince Young, circa 2012. Amazing, isn't it? There was a point where Young seemingly ruled the world. Today he is competing with Tyler Thigpen for the right to back up Ryan Fitzpatrick in Buffalo...

Bills' Toronto series on NFL agenda

The Buffalo Bills' bid to extend their series of playing regular-season games in Toronto could take a big step forward before the end of the month, barring a setback in negotiations. League spokesman Michael Signora wrote in an email on Tuesday that the Toronto series will be on the NFL International Committee's agenda for its next meeting. The meeting is scheduled to take...

Bills sign Dorin Dickerson

Former Texans receiver/tight end Dorin Dickerson attended Bills rookie camp on a tryout basis over the weekend. Evidently, the athletic Dickerson performed well enough to earn another look in Buffalo. The Bills announced Monday that they have signed Dickerson. The club reportedly envisions Dickerson as an “off the line tight end/H-back prospect,” and is listing him as a fullback...

After Vikes Stadium Deal, Bills a Little (But Not Much) More Likely to be the Team that Moves

Despite not being quite finalized yet, it looks like Minnesota is going to build a modern Twinkie Dome. This is not the best news for us Bills fans biting our knuckles about aging owners and meager renovation plans, but it’s also nothing close to critical. Vacating the top of the “most likely to move” list is bad in the sense that it inches Buffalo one spot closer to being...

Buffalo Bills: Projected 2012 Starting Lineups

Welcome to the new Buffalo Bills, version 20.12, where depth and options have replaced a lack of talent and unknown names. From the biggest defensive free agent signing in NFL history, to a Draft characterized by solid choices addressing needs, looking at the Bills current 90-man roster of options is like looking at a jigsaw puzzle without a box: i.e. a lot of possibilities, but...

Buffalo Bills extend RB Fred Jackson

There was a time last season when the Bills were 5-2 and Fred Jackson was a legitimate MVP candidate. He got hurt and only played 10 games, but still managed 934 yards and 6 touchdowns on 170 carries (5.5 YPC) with 39 catches for another 442 yards. Despite missing 6 games, he was still ProFootballFocus’ [...]

Bills Sign Former Texans WR/TE Dorin Dickerson

The Buffalo Bills have signed former Houston Texan receiver/tight end Dorin Dickerson. Dickerson is a former seventh-round pick of the Texans (2010) and appeared in seven games as a rookie mainly on special teams. Released by Houston last September during final cuts, he had short stints on the Pittsburgh and New England practice squads. The Bills see him as an off the line tight...
