in 1994, parcells took a rookie bledsoe into the playoffs after Drew had thrown 691 TIMES..That Patriots team had Marion Butts at running back with Vincent Brisby and Troy Brown at wideout. of course, ben coates had 96 catches that year but still..should the game plan this year be to Throw, Throw, Throw ? that patriots team finished 10-6, i would be extremely pleased if the Bills could duplicate the same record

i think our running game will do better than everyone thinks. look how henry did last year...and in the scrimmage...not based on 1 pre-season game where everyone was playing in a diff. position in front of him. i think we will have good balance.

But so you think Gregg Williams is the kind of coach that can bring that kind of play out in Drew?

Greg Williams is a defense oriented coach as was parcells, but has already been quoted as saying things like "we're not going to take the ball out of number 11's hands very often." The Bills should air it out this year!

I think its more in Gilbride's hands than Williams'

I agree casdhf, I don't think GW will really have a whole bunch of say about the offense this year. I think his responsibility is pretty much to say, "That's a good idea Kevin."

Gilbride is the man who will run the offense, and from what it looks like he and DB are on the same page.
