"A competitor," right guard Kraig Urbik called D'Alessandris. "He's always one to take every second of every day to go full speed in the drills in everything, and make sure everything is gone over and make sure we get everything correct so that come game time it's really easy. He does a really good job with that. We do a lot of extra work with him and it showed last year with plugging guys in and how well we did."

Re: The man behind the curtain of the Bills O-line
The year before, the Bills coaches were at the Senior Bowl and Joe D was the star of the week when ESPN showed the coverage, focusing on him and his instructions. He had prospects making quick adjustments and really coached them up.
Then our Bills line goes out and plays very well last season. I believe they gave up the fewest sacks in the NFL.
Coincidence ? Hardly. Top shelf OL coach.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Re: The man behind the curtain of the Bills O-line
i feel the same servoI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
