    Matt Cassel struggles in Wednesday's OTA

    Buffalo Bills quarterback Matt Cassel struggled in Wednesday's organized team activity while splitting first-team reps with EJ Manuel.

    Cassel was intercepted by rookie cornerback Ronald Darby, who had inside position on receiver Tobais Palmer at the goal line in an 11-on-11. The veteran quarterback was also nearly intercepted twice in a 7-on-7 drill, once when cornerback Mario Butler jumped an outside route and again when safety Jonathan Meeks caught up to a lofted Cassel pass to an open Palmer.

    "I thought Matt did some good things and then some other ones he was kind of late on a deep ball -- I think that thing was up the rails and got to be thrown a little bit quicker," coach Rex Ryan said after practice. "But always there's some things that you probably think you can get better at and then some things that he did well."

    Manuel was sharper in both 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 drills, although he didn't make any throws Wednesday that stood out while watching practice live.

    Yeah, if you could replace this with EJ struggles in Wednesday's OTA and then have a little comment saying how Tyrod Taylor was sharper in both 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 drills, you'd get much more traffic and comments.

        Cassel has been struggling since 2011.

          I wonder when they call Orton and beg him to come back?

          This is training camp deja-vu from last year.

            In fairness this is when all these guys should be making their passes. It's alarming that the advantage in OTA's should be going to the offense and our QB's are struggling. When the pads come on it's going to be worse...not better.

              Practice by practice breakdown? Really?

                  to be fair, darby is our first pick of this year's draft. i've never heard of the receiver he threw to. it is possible that its simply poor work by receiver.

                  i also think we should get used to the fact that this will be a merry-go-round of the 4 qb's struggling. and it's fine up until september. then someone's got to step up.

                  I still see EJ winning this. and that's not that because he's guaranteed to be awesome, but because he has more upside and more capabilities than an aging cassel.and tyrod is a wildcard. i don't see any of the 4 dominating.

                    I just hope he's practicing his handoffs and play action as much as this stupid throwing stuff.

                      Not looking good. Rex said we don't have a "Lebron" at QB, let alone a starter or 2nd.

                            Taylor received few, if any, reps with the first team in 11-on-11 drills, although it's possible that he has seen time with the top unit in practices not open to reporters, including Monday and Tuesday's sessions.

                              I would have already done so. I feel like there's at least a chance they already have.
