Sorry if this was already posted. I didn't see this on the front page either.-

www.BuffaloBills.com :

"Second-year defensive end Ryan Denney benefited ......landing a spot on the first-team ahead of Marcus Jones. Gregg Williams also indicated that the starters will play most of the first quarter at Baltimore on Saturday."

I wouldn't be suprised to see Jones end up there quickly. Probably just being cautious and bringing him along slowly.

Good sign about the development of Denney. Maybe he won't be a bust after all!

I'd not read anything into this. What does this mean for the preseason? Nothing. Their most likely just giving each guy a chance to work with the rest of the first team to see how it goes and give them some experience.

word is that Jones is only about 80-85%...he may need to be back to perfect health to make the team.

He'll make the team, it's just a question of where he fits in I think.

This is good news to me, after last season i wrote off Denney as a bust, boy it sounds like i was wrong.

I'm Bryan Denny's biggest fan. I've known all along that he was gonna make it on this level. He's gonna break Bruce Smith's sack record (that he will have obtained this year).

Seriously though - this is good news I think.

If you've got two capable guys at the LDE spot, why not split their time? DE's don't have the same problem with rythme that RB's and QB's do. They come in, give it their all until they're tired, then rotate. Many of the very effective D's over the years had some kind of DL rotation going.

Same topic, but an area of concern: How will the rotation work with the two middle DL positions? Hope the young guys pan out here, too.

I read somewhere that Jones' knee is doing well but he's being real tentative with it. If that continues, his career's over. The mental part of the game is so important.

I was joking around with that thread - kinda "Donald Trumpish"ly if you've seen that movie Eddie with Whoopie Goldberg (where she becomes the coach of the Knicks).

I'm worried about Jones, too. Whether it's physical or mental, he doesn't seem to be coming around.
