Highlights:
On Ashton Youboty also banged up?
Melvin Fowler again was not practicing this morning as the team worked out in the stadium due to a sore elbow. Cornerback is a worry position for the Bills this week due to the strength of the Chargers pass offense and the fact the Bills should be without Terrence McGee again. Ashton Youboty has been bothered by a sore foot, although he probably will play. On the plus side for the Bills, Chargers starting receiver Chris Chambers did not practice again Thursday due to his sprained ankle. Indications fromSan Diego
On Angelo Crowell
Well, this brings up the Angelo Crowell issue again. Crowell had fairly extensive cleanup surgery on his knee after going on IR - more extensive than he would have if he had tried to play later in the year for the Bills. But long-term it's probably better for his knee that he got the "works" done. That's one thing that helped Corto make the team. Another was the fact linebacker Alvin Bowen, the fifth-round draft pick, also went down for the year with a knee injury. .
Tony Gonzalez
From what I understand, the Bills were willing to part with a third-rounder. But the Chiefs wanted a second-rounder. No team was willing to cough that up. .. Gonzalez said at least two teams were willing to give up third rounders. I also was told by one person in the league that Gonzalez was not eager to come toBuffalo
On John McCargo
He was out there practicing again today. I can't see him being on the team much longer. I think they will release him, maybe Saturday. It's obvious they have given up on him. It's obvious he feels unwanted and was very happy to go to the Colts. Bill Kollar is tied of trying to prod him. McCargo, I believe, has tuned Kollar out. The only argument for keeping him, which they might be thinking, is what if Stroud, Williams or Johnson get hurt in the next several weeks? Where do you find a replacement at that position? Nowhere.
On Bills Offensive Gameplan
The Hardy question rasises the big matchup issue of the game Sunday. Bills wideouts vs. Chargers cornerbacks - Quentin Jammer and Antonio Cromartie. I think this is a game in which the Bills will have to do a lot of work in the middle of the field with their "other options" - the RBs out of the backfield, Reed, Parrish, Royal. ... It's fortunate that Parrish is back this week.
ON Whitner
The Bills have had trouble with Antonio Gates in the past. I think Donte Whitner is key to the game plan this week. Expect to see him moved around a bit, either at FS or on slot receivers. The Chargers do not ever use four wideouts, unlikeArizona
On only 8 wins this year?
I look at the schedule and see better than that, even if they lose - even if they lose ugly - toSan Diego
