LeSean McCoy ‘ready to roll’ Week 1 for Buffalo Bills

Put another way: the players most similar to Manuel in his first two seasons were Tarvaris Jackson and Drew Stanton. Not a bad group for Andrew Luck to throw the ball too. With those big-play receivers? Kyle Orton was good at times last season, but he wasn’t consistent.

Murray had 500 more yards than McCoy a year ago. In addition, Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcell Dareus will be serving his one-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.

Cassel is a seasoned veteran who was acquired by the Bills last March via trade deal from the Minnesota Vikings, where he played for the past two seasons. “I feel comfortable. I’m not sure if I’ll be exactly 100 percent, but I feel good enough to go out there and compete”. He further said, “They run a no-huddle, but it’s more of a muddle huddle”. He has shown consistent improvement throughout his career, and this year should be no different. Luck also ranks second in touchdown passes in that span with 86.

Asked Wednesday morning if McCoy would be on a “pitch count” for the game, Bills coach Rex Ryan responded, “Yeah, whatever”. “Rex is a proven media star and we thought it would be ideal to have Frank Curci join him in an unusual setting, one that both gentlemen enjoyed acting through”. Those are training-camp issues and those are the growing pains he’s going to have as a rookie. “Hey, I get it, our schedules tough and all that, but when that team looks at us – they aren’t real happy about playing us either”.

“We’re going to be a handful”, Ryan said last week. “I just wish it was New England first”. In his advanced age Johnson may have given up some speed, but he has only gotten stronger as the years go by, this will make him an excellent target for red zone opportunities. We need you. This guy is the number one fantasy quarterback for this week. “I’m happy with that part of it”.

Roman, who was the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers under former head coach Jim Harbaugh, has more to work with in Buffalo.

“This kid can play”, Ryan said, in Darby’s defence. The judge’s decision was handed down, and let it be accepted no matter which side of the fence you were on.

Still recovering from a hamstring injury, McCoy’s return in time for the season opener Sunday remains in doubt.

“And in my opinion, it’s still going on”.

But there’s a fine line to finding solutions for playmakers such as Luck. They’re expected to repeatedly change coverages – showing man, zone, and combinations of the two at various times – or at least give the appearance of doing so before the snap. The kid has a booming voice but we have to make it miserable. “And we’ve got to be good on third down”.

Williams and Graham will be largely responsible for maintaining order on the back end of the defense by communicating with each other as well as with Gilmore and Darby. But he can raise his value by putting up even bigger numbers in 2015. Robinson was hurt in the third preseason game at St. Louis.

Sunday against the Colts is the real thing. The tight end duo of Dwayne Allen and Coby Fleener haven’t been stellar yet, but they are as good a one-two punch as any at the position.
