Player Assassins

From BuffaloBills.com:

"BRIEF SCARE FOR EDWARDS AT PRACTICE: During Trent Edwards first practice after his thigh contusion Tuesday there was a brief scare as he tried to pull out from center left guard Derrick Dockery stepped on his foot causing Edwards to fall on his right side. (You can see the play in Bills Roundup later this afternoon on the multimedia page)

 

“I had a few choice words for Derrick Dockery on that one," said Edwards smiling. "He stepped on me. He kind of jumped a little early on my snap count. That’s another thing you have to work through. All of the quarterbacks here have different snap counts and it’s a minor issue, but you don’t want to see that happen on Sunday. So we need to eliminate those things on Sunday and be where we need to be.”"

 

Fortunately Edwards was no worse for the wear, but it illustrated Edwards' point after practice on the importance of him being in practice with his teammates every day.

 

“I need to practice. I need to be around the guys and I need to be in the huddle and they need to see me practicing too," Edwards said. "That’s what I’m trying to accomplish right now. Regardless of injuries being the quarterback of this team you need to be able to practice, be in rhythm with your receivers, be in rhythm with your linemen and tight ends and running backs. The more practice I get before the Seahawks game the better.”

 

It almost sounds as if Edwards is not expecting to get time in the preseason finale. Head coach Dick Jauron certainly sounded as if his priority was to get to the opener healthy and playing Edwards, Walker and possibly even James Hardy in the preseason puts that ideal at risk.

 

So even though Edwards has just 31 live snaps in the preseason and he'd obviously love to get more, it's hard to argue that it's more important to keep the starting quarterback healthy for the games that count."

I'd more call it player saboteurs.
