Here's a little write up on Gash from Lenny P at ESPN
Gash returns to Bills
Unrestricted free agent fullback Sam Gash, who made the Pro Bowl squad in each of two years during a previous stint with the Buffalo Bills, on Monday evening returned to the club after playing the last three years with Baltimore.
The 34-year-old Gash, an 11-year veteran, has long been regarded as one of the premier lead-blockers in the league.
He will replace Larry Centers, released by the Bills last week, as the starter. Centers holds the league record for most receptions by a running back, but became less a factor in the Buffalo offense last year, as coordinator Kevin Gilbride relied more on a three-wide receiver formation.
Gash should be a tremendous escort for emerging Buffalo tailback Travis Henry, who rushed for 1,438 yards in 2002. While he is not as effective a receiver as Centers, it likely won't matter much if Gilbride keeps the same design he used last season.
A selfless player whose bone-jarring blocks have cleared the way for backs from the New England Patriots (1992-97), Bills (1998-99) and the Ravens (2000-2002), Gash has just 120 rushing attempts of his own.
