Bills limit RB LeSean McCoy due to tight hamstring

Next week, once again before the wild hometown fans, the Bills will take on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Buffalo was handed what looked like a daunting one-two combination to start the season with their first two opponents being the clubs that appeared in last season’s AFC title game. There is a chance McCoy could play on a limited basis if he is not totally 100 percent healthy.

As the coach for the Jets, Ryan was 4-9 against the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. Running back LeSean McCoy is unsafe in both the rushing game and the passing game, while wide receiver Percy Harvin is a big-play threat.

“I respect them probably as much as any team in the league”, Ryan said.

The Patriots will most certainly offer a stern test for Buffalo in week two and the game could say a lot about whether Buffalo is as strong as the win over the Colts might suggest.

With thanks to the Patriots’ media relations department:DEFENSIVE BACK DEVIN McCOURTY(On what he’s seen from Tyrod Taylor)”I think, for us, we’ve been able to, we find every bit of film you can find”.

On the play, Williams showed exactly why the Bills picked him in the fifth round of the NFL Draft in May, and why Fred Jackson is no longer on the team.

If McCoy can’t go, Williams, Boobie Dixon and practice squad player Cierre Wood will be Buffalo’s only three options at running back.

“He’s hard to cover”, Ryan said. What would ensue was nothing short of an extraordinary showing by the Buffalo Bills. McCoy is going to be one of the most important offensive weapons for the Bills this season, and they should absolutely consider sitting him in the near future so that his hamstring injury won’t become a major issue.

The Bills are further emboldened by the hiring of brash-talking coach, Rex Ryan, who was never afraid of taking a jab at the Patriots during his previous six-year tenure with the New York Jets. “He’s going to get what I got, and he knows it”. Even though Blount is ready to go and should get some carries, there is a problem with game planning too much for him. Were not beat just because they get off the bus, like some teams.”. “I might want to just put that little caveat out”. “We just got to go out there and play the game”. “I want to continue to be dominant”.

The other aspect to this matchup: What to make of Taylor, who, according to Butler, looked confident and relaxed in his debut. McCoy already missed some time earlier in the summer with a hamstring issue and Rodak reported that Rex Ryan said that he “hopes” McCoy can play on Sunday.

Linebacker Dekota Watson, who was released by the Patriots on August 31, was re-signed by New England and added to the active roster Wednesday. That doesn’t include the Jets’ road upset at New England in the 2010 playoffs.

“I definitely think this is the most talented team I’ve been on”, seventh-year center Eric Wood said.
