Opinion: Capaccio: Colts at Bills – five players and positions to watch
‘With Tre’Davious White still on the physically unable to perform list, there’s been a battle going on for not only one starting cornerback spot, but both of them. And over the last week or so at training camp, three different players have seen a healthy rotation with the first unit. First round pick Kaiir Elam, third-year player Dane Jackson, and sixth round pick Christian Benford, who is squarely in the mix for the job. None have taken firm grasp of the role yet, and with the Colts expected to play their starting offense for several series, this would be a great test for this group to see who can emerge ahead after Saturday.’

‘Despite Benford’s lack of experience at the professional level, McDermott has no issue throwing him in against the team’s top receivers. “He’s had a good start to camp. He seems to have a good way about him. His disposition both on the field and off, his football IQ, and his combination of size and skill are all things we want to see,” said McDermott during his chat with the media. “We’re going to take him one day at a time and not get too far ahead of ourselves, but we wanted to give him some time with the [first group] and see how he fared.”‘

Opinion: Training camp mail bag!
‘I’m not sure the Buffalo Bills are in a position to be doing anything more than a “prove you’re healthy, then cash in later”-type deal with a receiver.’
