No need to remind linebacker Angelo Crowell how quickly his role and responsibilities have increased in the Buffalo defense.
A year ago, Crowell was referring to London Fletcher as "Pops" for being the linebacking corps' senior member. Now it's a title that falls on him.
Entering his fifth NFL season, Crowell is being asked to lead and help settle what will be a young and revamped unit. The Bills lost Fletcher in free agency and traded two-time Pro Bowl selection Takeo Spikes to Philadelphia this offseason.
"It's kind of shocking they're not here," Crowell said of Fletcher and Spikes, who had 18 years of NFL experience between them. "Yeah, I'm the guy. I'm the oldest guy in the room now."
Hold off on the "Pops" references, though.
