Former Bill John McCargo reportedly arrested in Virginia

‘The paper added that McCargo is also wanted in California. He reportedly failed to show for a hearing after being charged with inflicting corporal injury on a spouse, former spouse and/or cohabitant, which also violated his probation.’

Fortunate Fitz finds way back under center, and may be Bucs QB against Bills

‘Fitzpatrick, who may play Sunday at New Era Field against the Bills if injured Bucs starter Jameis Winston can’t go, is the ultimate NFL survivor. He was picked in the seventh round of the 2005 draft by the Rams, the 250th player selected that weekend, and since then has played for the Bengals, Bills, Titans, Texans, Jets and now the Bucs.’

Buffalo Bills claim LB Tyrell Adams, release LB Deon Lacey

‘To make room for Adams, Buffalo released linebacker Deon Lacey. Lacey contributed on special teams for Buffalo and was named MMQB’s special teams player of the week after he made a tackle on a fake punt attempt by the Denver Broncos.’

Could Buffalo Bills QB Tyrod Taylor be on the verge of a breakout month?

‘Consider the Bills’ next five opponents. They host the Buccaneers and Raiders in consecutive weeks before traveling to play the Jets, returning home to play the Saints and hitting the road to take on the Chargers. According to Football Outsiders’ DVOA, which is explained here, those teams rank 31, 29, 21, 11 and 12 in pass defense. That’s just what the doctor ordered for a Bills’ passing offense that ranks 19 in DVOA.’

Sean McDermott says Buffalo Bills QB Tyrod Taylor has had ‘playoff caliber’ moments

‘”Well you evaluate everyone both individually and then together as a team,” McDermott said. “You obviously keep that in mind. That said, you want to see the offense move. This is true of any player. You’re going to have good days and you’re going to have bad days. On the days you don’t have your ‘A game’ how do we affect the overall team? Whether it’s quarterback or any position. Tyrod’s had some what I would determine to be very, very good days and what I call playoff caliber moments. We have to continue to grow as a football team we look forward to continue that going forward with Tyrod as our quarterback.”‘

Would the Buffalo Bills consider trading an offensive tackle before deadline?

‘”Well, to me, that’s a good problem to have,” McDermott said. “That’s a position of value across the league. Those guys are hard to find. All five of those guys, we have a tremendous amount of confidence in when you look at what they’ve done and where they’ve played over the years. I feel like we’re in a good position. Those guys, like I said, are hard to find. I think we’re in a pretty good position right there.”‘

Buffalo Bills WR Jordan Matthews has a chance to play against Buccaneers

‘”When it’s that time, I think I’m pretty much going to be going full with it,” Matthews said. “If I can get out there and catch any type of ball, I think it’s going to be at that point I can go out there and trying to practice. But as far as tennis balls, little stuff like that, I’m able to do that pretty successfully, so hopefully I can transition to football pretty soon.”‘

Bills’ Groy has no regrets being in Buffalo

‘“There is (a chance Groy plays guard). Ryan does some good things,” McDermott said. “The important part for Ryan is that he does back up Eric [Wood] as well at the center position so Ryan does give us some flexibility both at center and as well as at guard.”’

Tyrod Taylor says he’s not focusing on critics, just on Bucs

‘“It’s been like that since I’ve been playing at five years old. You take the praise when it comes, but never take too much of it, that’s why you try to deflect it to guys who don’t get too much of it like the offensive line. They’re fighting each play,” Taylor said.’
