Bills coach Dick Jauron envisions an offense with a faster tempo and more three-step drops. He thinks such an approach will help out his offensive line while playing to the strengths of his quarterbacks. "It makes sense for a lot of reasons," Jauron said. "Trent [Edwards] does get the ball out quickly. J.P. [Losman] can get it out quickly and be accurate. It will help our offensive line. It will change the tempo of the game."
The Bills value intelligence as much as any team. Recently retired GM and former coach Marv Levy was as erudite as any executive in the league. Jauron is another Ivy Leaguer. Offensive coordinator Turk Schonert is a Stanford guy. Edwards, also from Stanford, appeals to Jauron on that level.
"To make the decisions that we've made about him, to insert him as our No. 1, was a big step for us and for him," Jauron said. "We've put a lot of faith in him."
More from Jauron on Edwards: "He is a very bright guy. I think he is a quick learner. He can take another step forward once you've told him something. He has a good feel for the game. He's got a sense of what he wants to have happen on the field. I'm not talking about play-calling. I feel like if you ask him, he'll probably have an idea. Sometimes when a player comes to the sideline, you might say, 'What do you want?' And they are all different. Even the really good ones. I've heard guys say, 'Whatever you want,' and you feel pretty good about that. Sometimes they'll look at you like they don't want to be part of it. ... He's got confidence. He's got a good demeanor. He's had it since Day One. It's not anything we've taught him. He has grown with the system and the changes will accommodate him, too. We'll have more options to get us into right plays at the right time."
