Mularkey Very Pleased With OTAs: Coach Mike Mularkey spoke to the media today as the third week of organized team activities came to an end. The coach said it was nice to have Willis McGahee with the team this week although he missed today's workout. He said he doesn't worry about the guys that aren't here and he's pleased by the amount of people that are in camp. The coach feels that McGahee has been working out at the University of Miami and he's in very good physical condition. He re-iterated how the schedule is setup to accommodate the players' schedule. They were done at 11am today and aren't due to return for the final week of OTAs until Tuesday. The team worked the no huddle offense for the third time today. J.P. Losman did very well as the coach feels it is one of the things he does very well. The team would like to have Bennie Anderson lose a bit of weight before training camp but he's pleased with the way he's taken to the left side of the line. He said he could be happier with how the OTAs have gone.
Rotation At DT Possible: Coach Mularkey said he anticipated a rotation at defensive tackle next to Sam Adams. He doesn't anticipate a drop off now that Pat Williams has left for free agency. He feels Ron Edwards has really stepped up and is giving good production. Tim Anderson is doing better than anticipated. He has been working out hard since January in Orchard Park which has made up for lack of experience.
Bills Not Interested In Verba: Mike Mularkey also told the media today that the team has not discussed brining in recently released offensive tackle Ross Verba. He was released by Cleveland on Tuesday.
Group Sales Limited: The Bills have announced that group sales tickets are very limited or not available at all for three games. Season ticket holders have first shot at them and have gobbled them up. There are no group sales tickets available for the Atlanta game and very limited availability for the Miami and Houston games.

Van Pelt Returns: Alex Van Pelt is back in Buffalo after spending much of the off season in Europe. As we previously reported he served as the QB coach for the Frankfurt Galaxy in NFL Europe.

He is expected to return to the radio booth for his second season as an analyst on Bills games. He does want a career as an NFL coach and this was a big first step for him as he said he learned a lot about the game.
