Darius Leonard’s tale is not a love story. It’s not a story about staying true to your roots. And it’s not a story about drawing inspiration from the worst day of your life. To put those kinds of limitations on a story about the Indianapolis Colts’ star rookie linebacker would be to do his story a grave injustice. See, Leonard’s story is all of these things. To understand Leonard, you must understand the full picture. You must understand how he became the man he is. In short, you have to understand Lake View, S.C. – population 800. “It’s the country,” Leonard said. “And I love it.” From Tim Graham at The Athletic: Subscription Required for Full Access Q&A: Jerry Hughes talks his unconventional path to defense, beloved Astros, and Revenge against the Colts ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Three years after making him their first-round draft choice, the Indianapolis Colts dumped Jerry Hughes. Texas Christian’s two-time All-American was supposed to hassle quarterbacks but recorded five sacks while starting only seven of 40 games. The Colts catapulted him to the Buffalo Bills for pedestrian linebacker Kelvin Sheppard. That was 2013. Today, Hughes is among the NFL’s more dangerous edge-rushers. Sheppard lasted one season in Indianapolis and is out of the league. Hughes has 4.5 sacks this year, putting him on pace for his highest total as he returns Sunday to Indianapolis for the first time since the trade. Hughes also has been on his best behavior. Over his career, he has been flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct nine times, roughing the passer six times, unnecessary roughness five times and facemask three times.

Sunday, October 21, 2018 - 1:00PM Buffalo Bills 0 vs. Indianapolis Colts 0 at Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN Head To Head for: Buffalo vs Indianapolis

Full practice yesterday and expected back on Sunday.

Looking forward to the contest.

Hughes' obvious frustration is exhibit A of why Peterman can no longer take the field. He's strictly break glass in case of emergency. I hope they finally waive him after Allen returns to health.

Subscription required for full access: ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — When offensive coordinator Brian Daboll took his turn behind the microphone for his weekly press conference on Monday, he didn’t have a ton of answers. The Bills had just lost 20-13 to the Texans in another game where the defense dominated but the offense laid an egg. How bad has the Bills’ offense been? Well, only the 2004 Mimi Dolphins had a worse first six games, according to Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric. Now that Anderson is starting, Allen and Peterman will have a chance to take a step back and think about what they’ve done. Former University at Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata and I sat down with the film from the Texans game to see what went wrong for Allen and Peterman and what they can build on.

How Derek Anderson is Getting Himself Ready for Sunday He was on a family vacation a week and a half ago. Eight days ago, he was signing a contract with the Bills. Four days ago, he was watching and trying to help Josh Allen against the Houston Texans. In three days he’ll be the starting quarterback for Buffalo in Indianapolis. None of it surprises Derek Anderson. Thirteen years in the NFL has exposed him to just about everything. That exposure is also what got him the nod from head coach Sean McDermott to start Sunday’s game against the Colts. “Derek is a guy that I’ve been around in Carolina. He brings experience, leadership presence to the table, and he’s worked hard in the last week or two, week and a half here to get himself up to speed,” McDermott said. Anderson has been living in offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s playbook for almost every waking hour since signing on Oct. 9th. He also knows he’s coming in without the benefit of an offseason conditioning program or the few thousand on field reps he would’ve had if he was with the team through the spring and summer.

Yes. Less advantageous than being at home on turf.

They should, but looks like it's not a possibility.

I think they'll be able to do some damage at home.

In Baltimore on grass? I'm thinking no.
