McCargo to I.R., Jefferson Activated

‘Just five days after Bills rookie John McCargo underwent surgery for a broken foot, the team decided to place the defensive tackle on injured reserve effectively ending his season.’

Lions’ Marinelli seeking first win after succeeding Jauron

‘Dick Jauron was willing to keep working for the Lions last season after serving as their interim coach for the final six games after Steve Mariucci was fired. But they chose Tampa Bay’s defensive line coach over him and other candidates.’

Bills seek return to glory

‘”Things haven’t clicked yet,” said McGee, the Bills’ all-time leader in kickoff returns, yards and TDs. “We’re not on pace like we’ve been in the past. We still have a lot of games left, so hopefully we’ll get on the right track.”‘

Kelso makes strong first impressions

‘The former Bills safety may be a little stiffer than Van Pelt was in the booth, but there’s no drop in knowledge and he’s done a better job of keeping cheerleading in check.’

He didn’t fit the Bills, but would he fit 49ers?

‘McCloughan said he thought Vincent would join a team with a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl or one, like the 49ers, that can offer him playing time immediately and perhaps a starting spot. The 49ers also are more than $7.5 million under the league’s salary cap, meaning money should not be an obstacle.’

Vincent not in Eagles’ plans

‘Since the Bills released him, Vincent has heard from and has had contact with close to a dozen teams; none of them call Lincoln Financial Field home. "No, I’m not going back to the Eagles," he said. "You can let everyone know that. I’m getting the same calls you are. And I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up."’

Improving run defense is Bills’ biggest task

The Patriots and Bears unmasked Buffalo’s primary problem on defense, which is its inability – due mainly to lack of size up front – to stand up to a power running game. If future Bills opponents are smart they will continue to attack the Bills via the ground until Tripplett and company prove they can stop it.’
