Bills defensive tackle Tim Anderson didn't have a whole lot to worry about two months ago with respect to competition for the starting role he currently holds next to free agent acquisition Larry Tripplett on Buffalo's defensive line.
He and Tripplett were the only two players at the position with lengthy starting experience. But the landscape of talent at defensive tackle changed after the Bills made John McCargo a first round draft pick and later took Kyle Williams in round five.
"It has solidified the competition," said head coach Dick Jauron. "There were so many holes on our roster depth-wise that by making those choices (McCargo and Williams), which we said we would make, we really plugged in other pieces to make it really competitive. Now there's nobody in that group that can just relax and think there's no place else for us to turn."
