Jaguars Thursday Notes: Posluszny didn’t want to leave Buffalo, Dareus discusses Taylor, McCoy

‘When his rookie contract ran out in 2011, he looked to re-sign with the Bills. However, Buffalo’s then-general manager Buddy Nix had other ideas. “We changed general managers, so I wasn’t one of their guys,” Posluszny said Thursday. “We were running a 3-4 [scheme]. I remember when I had my exit meeting the previous season, I was talking to the general manager about what I could do to stay, to get better. He said ‘we’d like to have you around 245-250 [pounds].’ To me, that [meant] I’m not their fit.”‘

Bills not riled by showdown with Doug Marrone, Jaguars

‘For all of that magic, beating Marrone would be like icing on the cake. When he quit after guiding the team to a 9-7 finish, he never told his players. To this day, Marrone hasn’t explained his decision publicly, although there’s much speculation that he was at odds with since-departed general manager Doug Whaley. He might have also been uncertain of where the franchise was headed under the direction of the new owners, Terry and Kim Pegula. Then there was the financial windfall.’

Bills RB LeSean McCoy’s status uncertain vs Jaguars

‘McCoy spoke to the media on Thursday for the first time since suffering the injury in Sunday’s 22-16 win over the Miami Dolphins. He has yet to practice this week, but did participate in stretches Thursday before leaving the field with a trainer.’

Wycheck on Bills bandwagon 18 years after Music City Miracle

‘”I don’t want to put the responsibility on me,” said Wycheck, who now serves as a radio host and is taking a one-season break as a Titans broadcast analyst. “But it was so long ago, too. I’m just glad they made it and I was happy for them.”‘

Bills-Jaguars Capsule

‘Bills haven’t won postseason game since beating Miami in 1995. Buffalo is 0-3 since.’

Bills’ McCoy sheds walking boot, unable to practice

‘”I want to be able to cut well enough to where I don’t have a lot of pain cutting,” McCoy said. “I just want to be close, or the best as far as 100 percent as I can get. The type of game like this, you got to lay it all on the line. If I can’t get 100 percent, as long as I’m out there, and I can work effective enough, I’ll do it. We’ll just see.”‘

LeSean McCoy believes he can play vs. Jags if ankle not painful

‘”Everyone on my team has been asking me the same questions, and I don’t want to lie to them,” he said. “People that know me, they know I want to be out there. But I’ve been in situations like this before here, playing on a bad ankle, bad foot, bad hamstring. I didn’t do well at all, and I kind of hurt it, being in the same situation.”‘
