Incognito Ready For Return To Miami

Pouncey just believes that divisional games are more intense than other regular season games.

There haven’t been many defensive tackles in National Football League history with the skill set the Miami Dolphins’ high-priced free agent acquisition has.

Rightly or wrongly, Incognito’s name will always be attached to the sordid affair, and he has come to grips with the fact that “It will haunt me forever and ever”. I’ve got a lot of friends that still play down there.

Since coming to Buffalo, Incognito has been a model citizen, he has kept his head down and his focus lasered on rebuilding a career that, before his crash and burn, was on the rise following a Pro Bowl appearance in 2012. “There’s been a lot of time taken for personal growth and maturation process”. “Fundamentally, I just have to get back into the sync of things and that’s what practice is for, getting with the coaches and understanding my mistakes that I’ve made”.

“He has been absolutely tremendous”, said Ryan. “People leave here all the time, and so it’s not unusual to play against someone who was a former teammate”.

As for the allegations that Suh “freelanced”, Philbin denied it, saying, “I just watched the entire tape with the entire defensive staff. I just didn’t see anything of the sort”.

Meanwhile, Ndamukong Suh on Wednesday had little to say about his latest controversy – whether or not he at times went outside the structure of the defense against Jacksonville – but held nothing back when asked how the defense has played in general.

Incognito has become a welcome fit in Buffalo, earning the support of his new and some former teammates.

“He’s been a beast, a leader, a smart player; you can tell he’s a veteran”, said McCoy. He can wreck the whole game if you let him. The Dolphins want to win their home opener in a stadium undergoing renovations that will cost more than $425 million. “I’m happy he’s here, I really am”.

The reason this is relevant: Incognito returns to Miami in a Bills uniform Sunday for the first time since the scandal. I think it’s made him a better person on the football field. And under Ryan, the Bills have moved Dareus into different alignments along the line.

Joe Philbin would rather throw long on fourth-and-1 than publicly criticize one of his players.

“No. That’s not me”, Clay said.

Suh, the Dolphins’ record-setting defensive tackle, is only two games into a six-year contract that could pay him that royal sum, but is already at the center of a controversy following Miami’s uninspired 1-1 start.

“I’m not so sure about that”, Ryan said.

That’s all Incognito wants, too.

Incognito admitted earlier this week the Dolphins game has “more meaning” and he also said he respects Dolphins fans. They beat an Indianapolis Colts team on the road that was projected this offseason to make a good playoff run. “We’ve got to go out there and stop” the run “and obviously if we don’t, we’re not going to have that many opportunities to pass rush and get after the quarterback”.

Bills first-year starting QB Tyrod Taylor has predictably mixed tantalizing big plays with inexperienced mistakes – including three interceptions last week. “They’re going to come, I’m positive of that”.
