Bills vs. Jets Practice Report: Injuries Deplete Receiving Corps
At practice on Wednesday, the Buffalo Bills rotated five players through drills at wide receiver: Brad Smith, Ruvell Martin, Kamar Aiken, Derek Hagan and practice squad member Tim Toone.
The reason? Stevie Johnson, David Nelson and Naaman Roosevelt all sat out practice on Wednesday with various ailments. The good news is that Johnson and Nelson have missed Wednesday practices before and still played; here's hoping that remains true, because that list of receivers is terrifying - particularly considering the Bills' offensive struggles of late.
Also missing practice Wednesday were running back Fred Jackson - who has already been ruled out with a calf injury - and strong safety George Wilson. On the Wilson front, Bills head coach Chan Gailey told reporters that Wilson's injury is healing slowly; rookie Da'Norris Searcy will likely continue to take Wilson's reps until his return.
Buffalo's injury list is decidedly shorter this week, but that doesn't mask the fact that injuries from previous weeks - and lingering injuries elsewhere - have left this team very thin.

The lead singer from the band probably has a better chance of plowing through the line than Spiller does.

In all seriousness. No, not with Spiller. Steal a page out of Belichek’s playbook and use the bodies you’ve got to get it done. Period. We aren’t beating the Jets throwing the ball around, that much I guarantee you!

So Johnny White?
Lining up Levitre in the backfield? The body that we’ve got is Spiller. I don’t think I could reach for my wallet fast enough if Chan decided to play smashmouth with Spiller.

That is a scary recieving score. Maybe we can lull the jets into sleep and win the game.

This is clearly a message from the Universe.
IR all of our receivers.
Bring Jasper up from the PS as an OG.
Sign a another FB from the streets — if he asks about the playbook, tell him to run forward.
Run the whole game out of a goalline 0 WR formation with our TEs and all the O-Line we can fit on the field.
See whose line and depth gets tired quicker. Ours or theirs. Game is decided based on that (assuming our D shows some form of competency.)

And the new offense will be called for many years to come........

Call TO and give him a workout. There’s no harm in looking, and even a has-been TO is better than some of the never-will-be talent they have left. Plus, the last time he was here, he had a good rapport with Fitzpatrick.

haha!! awesome!
here’s to hoping the Colts can win 6 games!
Donald Jones
Donald Jones’ catching ability was an injury to the Bills offense. I bet Tim Toone was asking Chan to let him spin. Promise he’d catch at least half the balls Jones dropped.
I agree, Donald Jones should be cut next year
Kamar Aiken is 6’2 runs a 4.4 40 and can catch the the ball very well…
Did I just see we claimed Choice?? Another GA tech retread? Really???

it's time
Get McIntyre and White into the game, ground and pound the jets defense. Then when they crowd the box, send Martin and Aiken deep and come underneath with Toone or Chandler.
