‘Buffalo third-year quarterback J.P. Losman, who early in camp jumped out to a large lead over Kelly Holcomb in the competition for the starting job, registered a league-high 124 snaps in four preseason contests working with a new offense installed by first-year coordinator Steve Fairchild. Philip Rivers, the first-year starter in San Diego as he steps in for the departed Drew Brees, got 104 plays, one of six starting quarterbacks to get into triple-digit snaps. Another 100-plus snap quarterback was Brett Favre, who was working in a new offense under first-year coach Mike McCarthy, and who acknowledged in minicamps that he would need a lot of preseason repetitions just to get a handle on the nomenclature.’
