The Word Is Out In The Media - Bills Getting Better
Lenny P - ESPN
There aren't a whole lot of coaches in the league doing a better job in the early going than Dick Jauron of the Buffalo Bills. If the Buffalo offense can score some points, the Bills might steal a few wins in 2006. Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell has done a nice job and, obviously, isn't afraid to get the team's young players on the field. And Bobby April continues to be one of the NFL's elite special teams coaches.

The Bills' Coy Wire blocked a punt late in the third quarter, setting up Buffalo's clinching score in its 16-6 upset of the Dolphins. Does anybody do special teams like the Bills, with their Bobby April-coached kick and coverage units?

The Bills drafted Dante Whitner with the eighth overall pick of the April draft, and when they did, eyes opened wide around the league. How in the heck could a team in need of so much take a safety from Ohio State in the first round?
Two games in, we're starting to see why. Whitner had seven tackles against the Dolphins, but he also did a great job in coordinating the defense, calling signals from the back. He has the look of a future Pro Bowl player already and clearly isn't awed by the situation.
He is one of five rookies who contributed to the defense against the Dolphins. Two others were also starters. In addition to Whitner, Ko Simpson started at free safety and linebacker Keith Ellison started at weak-side linebacker for injured Takeo Spikes. Rookie defensive tackles John McGargo, another first-round pick, and Kyle Williams also saw substantial playing time in rotation.
Who the heck are these guys? If they didn't blow a lead at New England last week, they'd really be saying it.
