Buffalo Bills Training Camp Day 10 Wood And Levitre In Starting Line-Up

The Buffalo Bills have made a decision early in training camp who will be there starting Offensive Guards and they are Andy Levitre and Eric Wood. Things could happen that could change that, like a injury, but that is the plan, said Jauron. The Bills drafted Levitre and Wood because they wanted smarter and tougher football players on there Offensive Line. The Bills coaching staff believes that Wood and Levitre give the Bills the best chance to win football games this season. We felt going into the draft process that these two kids based on there history and experience they have the smarts to be part of a excellent Offensive Line said Kugler. Kugler had Levitre and Wood competing against veterans Seth McKinney and Curt Chambers at the guard spots, both rookies fared well in the spring workouts and have held there own in training camp. The rookies took all the first team snaps on Monday. It's been good, said Levitre. There is good competition on the other side of the ball. I have been getting good reps and everything is a little bit faster. I am going against guys who have been here for a while, so you have to think faster. I love the competition. I am learning everyday, getting a little bit better. We have a long way to go, said Tackle Brad Butler. We have drafted guys and bought in guys that are willing to work hard enough and get better every single day and when the season comes around to get better every week. I am a older guy and both of our tackles are older guys that have played a lot of football so, they are going to have a guy on either side of him and they can kind of give them a little guidance and a little help, said Geoff Hargartner. Our guys are sharp guys too. They will catch on quickly, but if they need some guidance we have definitely got veterans on either side of them. I think that those guys are going to be good, said Stroud of the two rookies. I work mostly against Eric Wood and Eric's is doing a great job so far. You know that he, has only been here a couple of days and in those couple of days he is showing them why they picked him in the first round and I expect big things out of him. It is going to be a good group, said Kugler. They are pulling for each other and working for each other. We have got a long ways to go, but we are working hard to get there.
