Bills

New Bills OC Greg Roman said that all four of their quarterbacks —ย Matt Cassel, E.J. Manuel, Tyrod Taylor, and Jeff Tuel — will get first-team reps in practice.

โ€œI think all four are doing a very nice job in our meetings and in communicating, as we are in a teaching phase,โ€ Roman saidย their quarterbacks, via Pro Football Talk. ย โ€œTheyโ€™re all going to have ample opportunity to get out there and practice. ย When we start evaluating then weโ€™ll start to play around with things a little bit, whoโ€™s with the first team the one day, and the next day, and so forth. ย Everyone will have a chance to work with the first team and everybodyโ€™s going to have ample opportunity to put their best foot forward. ย And then weโ€™ll have a good feel for it as we go.โ€

Dolphins
