For several years, the Bills' offense has struggled to move the ball against any defense, but in particular, teams that play the 3-4 have really befuddled Buffalo. Perhaps that will change in 2010 because apparently the offense is going to get a whole lot more practice against the 3-4. New head coach Chan Gailey announced on Thursday the hiring of George Edwards as his new defensive coordinator, and Edwards came right out and said that the Bills will be switching to a 3-4. "Defensively, we will start from a 3-4 alignment," Edwards said in a statement released by the team. "But we will do what we feel is best for our players. We are not going to give anything away about exactly what we will ..."

A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for injuring seven people outside a Buffalo Bills game while driving drunk and impaired by drugs. A state Supreme Court judge rejected Brandon McLean's request to place the Clarence resident in a substance abuse treatment program in Buffalo. McLean was charged for a series of hit-and-runs Oct. 11 after he sped out of a parking lot at Orchard Park's Ralph Wilson Stadium, where the Bills had just lost to the Cleveland Browns."

Several of Dick Jauron's former assistant coaches have landed new jobs around the NFL, but two of them will not have to pack their belongings and leave Buffalo. Chan Gailey, the Bills' new head coach, began filling out his staff on Wednesday by hiring five new assistants, and he also announced that he is retaining two of Jauron's coaches, defensive backs coach George Catavolos and defensive line coach Bob Sanders. "Right now we are happy with the coaches that we have been able to get on the staff," Gailey said in a statement released by the team.

As you would expect in a time where there is a changing of the guard with an NFL team, One Bills Drive has been a busy place this week. On the heels of the hiring of head coach Chan Gailey on Tuesday came the news — at nearly midnight Wednesday evening for some strange reason — that pro personnel director John Guy was fired. And Thursday, running backs coach Eric Studesville officially joined the staff of the Denver Broncos in that same capacity, and wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert hooked up with the Carolina Panthers. Guy's ouster was a move Bills fans have been hoping for. The 58-year-old joined the Bills in 2001, hired by then team president Tom Donahoe. Despite a spotty record in ..."

Well-respected NFL college draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN is among those who agree that the Buffalo Bills should make finding an above-average quarterback the top priority. iper's new 2010 mock draft has Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen going No. 9 to Buffalo. I hope he's right. He believes Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford will be the No. 4 overall pick by the Washington Redskins. If the Bills pass on Clausen, Kiper thinks he'll go to Seattle No. 14. Many people believe the other top-need position for the Bills is offensive tackle. Kiper's projections on the four top tackles: Russell Okung (Oklahoma State) No. 5 to Kansas City, Anthony Davis (Rutgers) No. 8 to Oakland, Trent Williams ..."
