Bills Starters Could Play Entire First Half Against Indy

In years past, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Buffalo Bills in the pre-season has been whether or not the team's starters would see enough playing time to adequately prepare for the regular season. They're getting a lot of work to this point under new head coach Chan Gailey; the team's offensive and defensive starters both played roughly a quarter and a half in last week's loss to Washington, and BuffaloBills.com reports that the starters will see slightly more time than that tonight against Indianapolis.
Both units saw roughly 20 snaps in D.C.; we all know how well each unit played in that particular game. There's an outside chance that each first-team unit could play the majority of the first half tonight, though it's also likely that returned starters like Demetrius Bell, Eric Wood and Paul Posluszny - who are expected to see playing time - will not see as many snaps as their fellow starters.
C.J. Spiller will get the start at running back with both Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch injured. Bell and Wood are likely to start at left tackle and right guard, respectively. If Cornell Green can't go, Jamon Meredith will likely take his spot on the right side. George Wilson will get the start at free safety in lieu of Jairus Byrd, who is out indefinitely after groin surgery.

Game
First off I am really looking forward to getting a look at our starting O-Line. So I hope Green can play. I don’t think they will be as bad as the national media is making them out to be I am not expecting greatness just something better then Swiss cheese. Second is this game going to be televised live anywhere other then local area coverage ? In today’s world of electronic gadgets its almost impossible to not know the outcome of a game so you can enjoy the replay.

Probably a smart idea for them to get alot of PT. Doesnt this usually happen in the 3rd preseason game? I saw the Eagles are also doing it this way this year. Still a little ticked that Byrd is out indefinitely… that really does blow.
Injury free this game… come on.
THIS is our year.
Spiller
This guy will get some serious yardage tonight, 75 plus (rushing) if he plays the half.
So much to watch
Definitely, worth taping and revisiting. As much as I am looking forward to watching Brohm play, Demitrius Bell has to rank up there on the list of players to watch as well. Hopefully, the defense can provide opportunity for these guys to get some much needed work in. I guess the question is will Bell get enough time in to see where were at?

As long as Brohm is given as much playing time as Fitzpatrick received,
i’m good with this.

Agreed.
I would really like to watch Brohm get into a nice groove out there. I liked what he had to say in his interview, either last night or tuesday. He says hes ready, hes comfortable with the offense, just gotta put it together on the field.
Obviously rooting for the rest of the team to play well too … but since Im a ‘Brohmer’ Id like to see him play very well.
THIS is our year.
Finally a head coach who tries to use the preseason constructively

Which everyone will agree with so long as players don’t continue to appear on the injury report.

So uh,
How long are the Colts starters playing?
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
I’d bet 1 drive each.

More importantly, do we get to see Manning 2.0 in his new, BA visor?

I’m guessing this is news, but why?

We stand a decent chance of looking competent.

I meant the visor. I find it odd that it was newsworthy enough where Jon Harrington knew about it. I guess it’s because he’s Peyton Manning, and no one “throws the rock” like he does.

It was just one of the myriad of useless things that sportscenter brought up a few days ago. But, he does kinda look BA.

Oh, hah! BA. I completely thought that was a type/brand of visor, when actually it’s a state of being. And yes, Sports Center tends to bring these things up.

Something about the league having to approve it.

Good
If they had pulled a Dick Jauron, they would have been pulled after their first drive last game and as a result the coaching staff might have thought they looked good. It wasn’t until the 2, 3, and 4th drive that we figured out they need a lot more work on the field. Since Chan is “evaluating” everyone on the team, the best thing to do is play as much as possible in the preseason.

Your probably right
But we were short around a dozen players and many were starters and immediate depth players. There wasn’t tons of choices. Your probably right though, he has had them in pads since day one.
