Joey D. (NYC): Mort, is it just me, or do the Buffalo Bills pass the ball just way too much, especially on first down? It seems that they get themselves in long yardage situations from bad play calling almost every series!! With Travis Henry in the backfield I would think they would depend more on the run, like the team said it was going to do. what's the deal? Is it Gilbride?
Chris Mortensen: From talking to qualified NFL folks who have watch Buffalo tape, they basically agree with you. They believe that the Bills have the talent, that they should be a run-oriented-first offense that takes advantage of Drew Bledsoe's play-action ability. They also think that the protection schemes could be better and that Bledsoe, when protected, is as good as anyone in the NFL. That usually falls on the coordinator, although the head coach has the ultimate authority.
