Bills new coach Fewell made impression on his first day

What is different on the first day of having a new coach with the Buffalo Bills? A different coach Perry Fewell and a different starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. And that are enough to impress all those who wear Bills jerseys.

Perry Fewell joked that he threatened to start cutting off players’ fingers if they jump the snap count in practice. Comparing to his predecessor, Fewell said himself of a little bit more fired up and a lot more emotional.

Fitzpatrick and several other players noticed that.


“He’s got some fire in him and I like what he did in the first meeting,” Fitzpatrick said. “He’s here to kind of break us out of our little funk, and I think he’s a good guy to do it.”

At least his decision to start Fitzpatrick over Trent Edwards at quarterback has been supported by the team. Any receiver Terrell Owens said, Fitzpatrick, in his fifth season, is more experienced than Edwards, who is in his third year.

Bills QB Edwards could return from concussion this week

Because of a concussion, the Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards has missed nearly a month. Good news came on Monday that the quarterback said he was all right after practicing in Bills’ first workout since a four-day break in bye week.


He even expects that he could wear back his Bills jersey and start against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday. But it is still unsure whether he will still have the starting job as backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has helped the Bills go 2-1 after Edwards was hurt in the game against the New York Jets on Oct.8.

Bills Coach Dick Jauron was not available to reporters Monday and has not said whether to start Edward again once the NO.1 quarterback is healthy. The only indication that Edwards may get back starting job is that he practiced twice last week and continued working with Buffalo’s top receivers Terrell Owens and Lee Evans on Monday.
