PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills coach Chan Gailey won’t put up with fans criticizing his players during training camp, and he has let them know it.

Immediately after practice ended Tuesday morning, Gailey marched to a group of teenagers standing near the field, and told them off for heckling players. Gailey said if “you dog one of us, you dog all of us.”

Gailey then told them that Bills players would not go to that section of the stands to sign autographs.

A couple of members of the group spent part of practice focusing much of their criticism on quarterback Trent Edwards, who’s attempting to reclaim the starting job he lost last season.

The practice was Buffalo’s final session of training camp in suburban Rochester.
