(WGR 550) -- The sign is impossible to miss on the freshly-painted grey walls outside the Bills locker room. In red giant letters with photos of fans in the passion of game day, it reads, in all caps, "MAKE THEM SHOUT."
Somewhat lost in the Leodis McKelvin melodrama provided by vandalism is the 2009 Bills first true game experience at Ralph Wilson Stadium and the players are looking forward to establishing the venue as a tough place to play.
Mother Nature's helping out as well, and Friday's swirling winds provided Buffalo with a leg up over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"The winds can get real funky in there," said tight end Derek Schouman, who admitted that Friday's bizarre weather can be an edge over Sunday's opponent. Schouman and Roscoe Parrish both spoke to what days like today can do to bring Trent Edwards and his receivers to a place their opponents won't see until pre-game warm-ups.
The wind also could be a problem for Byron Leftwich, a quarterback prone to throwing both in motion and off-kilter.
Terrence McGee was absent from the portion of Friday's Bills practice the media is allowed to watch. He's suffering from back spasms and is questionable for Sunday. Chris Kelsay, Aaron Schobel and Drayton Florence were all participating, and probable.
Paul Posluszny is staying upbeat following another injury. The Penn State product is itching to get back to working out, and is just waiting for the green light from the team's trainers. His timeline for a return hasn't been changed.
