In an article in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Willis admits that he felt that he was misused last season and that he pouted about it:
Ready to run again
McGahee eager to prove he is NFL's best

"....More than the loss of weight, McGahee is clearly happy that former coach Mike Mularkey and offensive coordinator Tom Clements are gone.
Part of McGahee's drop in production last year was directly attributable, he said, to the inconsistent play-calling that plagued Buffalo's offense.
"I wasn't part of the Mularkey package," McGahee joked when reminded that he was often off the field when the Bills were in passing situations, even though he has always shown an ability to catch the ball.
"It wasn't my fault. We'd get on the goal line and we'd start passing. I'm not going to sit here and pout about it, but we'd get on the goal line and we'd pass four straight plays, so what am I going to do?"
He knows what he needs to do this season: Get ready to be a workhorse.
"We believe he's really good, and we want to run," coach Dick Jauron said. "We know we have to run the ball, and we believe he can do it. He is definitely a guy we're counting on."
Good, said McGahee...."

Hopefully, the bad experience that he had last season will help him grow up and be a better player from here on out. Willis, like most top RBs, is a guy who thrives on getting the ball, getting better the more touches that he gets. I don't know why Mularkey refused to get him the ball last season, but I'm pretty sure that Jauron will make sure that McGahee gets enough touches this season to be as effective as he is capable of being with this Bills squad.
The sidebar to this article is an update on Nall's injury. Basically it says that they don't yet know how bad the injury is and may not know for a couple of days.
