I have personally attended the training camp at St Johns Fisher College twice this summer. I have to say that I believe that the Buffalo Bills will be a force in the AFC East this year. They have improved in every aspect of the game. This of course only remains to be seen, they have to put it all together on the field come game day.

Starting with Terrell Owens, possibly the team’s biggest addition in franchise history, this is a huge acquisition for the team. He looks great in practice with Trent Edwards and the two already have chemistry.

While I know that he gets hit with nagging injuries from time to time, hopefully he’ll be ok through the year - because with Lee Evans by his side, there will be few better one-two wide receiver duos (if any) in the league.

Now for the running game, the addition of Dominick Rhodes was great. He adds quality and consistency at the fullback position. With Fred Jackson running the ball during the first 3 or 4 games during Lynch’s suspension Rhodes will be very handy in opening up some holes.

As far as Lynch goes, he will be missing the first few games due to his suspension, but I think he’ll be in great shape come week 4 once he’s able to play. This should be a great year for Lynch, as Owens’ presence will create some serious opportunities.

Now the biggest question mark is the offensive line. Bills fans everywhere are hoping that the no huddle will lessen the load on these young guys.

To counter these concerns, the Bills will be running many no huddle plays. This may wear down defenses, making the offensive line’s job a bit easier.

I’ll be going to the week 4 preseason game, the team’s last before the regular season starts. I’ll be posting another analysis about the team after seeing this game, and weekly regular season updates will follow.
