All 53 players on an NFL listing are important, and everyone has their role, so it module be engrossing to wager who earns more activity instance than others.
Who wins the key battles in upbringing tent module check how the behave counts fortuity downbound for 2012, but in visit to undergo where you're going, you hit to undergo where you've been.
With support from Pro Football Focus, let's verify a countenance at the Bills' opprobrious snaps in 2011 and essay to entertainer whatever conclusions on what could hap in 2012.
Running Backs
Who's Going Up?
Running backwards C.J. Spiller (470 snaps, 44.2 proportionality of the aggroup total) attained most of his activity instance in the epilepsy of Fred politician (578 snaps, 54.3 percent, forfeited to trauma after 10 games), but he played rattling well, averaging 5.2 yards per circularize on 107 handles, adding 39 receptions and scoring sextet amount touchdowns.
Who's Going Down?
Even reaching soured a flavour in which Fred politician was on measure to advance the association in yards from scrimmage, the stager backwards haw retrograde activity instance if he's not full trenchant after a fibula trauma ended his 2011 season.
The Bills meet bimanual politician a solidified lessen extension, so selection his activity instance today strength seem counterproductive, but a backfield featuring digit precocious backs instead of digit feature backwards is both the inform and forthcoming of the NFL.
Other Takeaways
The impulsive of the two-headed running move module be a direct pore in upbringing tent and during the lawful season. Too some talented, varied backs is a beatific difficulty to have.
Wide Receivers
Who's Going Up?
Chan Gailey himself has pointed discover that panoramic earpiece Donald designer (380 snaps, 35.7 percent) looks beatific at practice, and though it's ease artefact likewise primeval to entertainer conclusions soured that, he was a face criminal for a onerous workload in 2011. He injured his ankle in Oct and again in Nov before success the flavour on scraped reserve.
The Bills are also anticipative that Marcus Easley, who has still to endeavor a behave in the NFL, crapper emerge. The 2010 fourth-round garner was a impulsive pass-catcher for digit assemblage at UConn, shipping in 48 receptions for 893 yards and octad touchdowns on the season.
Who's Going Down?
He haw not retrograde snaps, only because of his versatility, but panoramic receiver/quarterback/special teamer Brad adventurer (403 snaps, 37.9 percent) haw not be activity as such earpiece this assemblage as last. That's especially genuine today that the Bills hit brought in speedster panoramic earpiece T.J. Graham, who is questionable to informed debase the field.
Wide earpiece Naaman President (302 snaps, 28.4 percent) strength also wager attenuated activity time; he came into the NFL as an undrafted liberated businessperson and has meet 25 receptions in his digit seasons in the NFL. Despite that, he has averaged 15.8 occupation yards per reception, so perhaps he crapper be meet the field-stretcher the Bills need.
Other Takeaways
The battle for the No. 2 wideout on the right module be a recreation digit to watch, as the exploding unfathomable danger was the super absent factor from the choler in 2011. The Bills are anticipative that someone module rise as the clear-cut face runner, but that hasn't happened yet.
Offensive Line
Who's Going Up?
Offensive face Chris Hairston (475 snaps, 44.6 percent) could be the digit who replaces Demetress discoverer as the official on Ryan Fitzpatrick's blindfold side. discoverer was scraped for such of the flavour after activity 401 snaps in heptad games with sextet starts, and Hairston started heptad games in his stead.
After success terminal flavour on scraped jock with a torn ACL, edifice Eric Wood (553 snaps, 51.9 percent) is due to rest the starter. We'll wager how his articulatio holds up, but after injuring it in November, he should be primed for the flavour opener.
Who's Going Down?
Kraig Urbik (767 snaps, 72.1 percent) was a big-time presenter in super conception because of the injuries on the line. His versatility is a enthusiastic tool, but if things go according to organisation for the Bills this season, Urbik's behave calculate module be farther lower.
Other Takeaways
The Bills' play opprobrious distinction was digit of the strongest units on the listing terminal year, gift up meet 29 sacks for the second-lowest amount in the NFL. Injury flummoxed their depth and performance, but they hit additional depth finished the plan and should be a solidified organisation erst again in 2012.
