Bills | Buffalo cleans house on coaching staff Tue Jan 31, 01:30 PM
The Buffalo Bills announced linebackers coach Bobby April III, defensive line coach John Blake, quarterbacks coach David Lee, defensive assistant D'Anton Lynn, defensive backs coach Tim McDonald, assistant head coach Chris Palmer, assistant defensive backs coach Ed Reed, special teams assistant Eric Smith, quality control coach Kathryn Smith, assistant quarterbacks coach Jason Vrable and outside linebackers coach Jeff Weeks will not be a part of the coaching staff under new head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: The Bills are removing almost all traces of the short-lived Rex Ryan era in Buffalo. McDermott will have a chance to put his fingerprints on most of the staff as the team tries to get out of the doldrums of mediocrity. |

Bills | Several coaching additions announced Thu Jan 15, 01:42 PM
The Buffalo Bills have hired Bobby April III (Jets) as their linebackers coach, Karl Dunbar (Jets) as their defensive line coach, Tim McDonald (Jets) as their defensive backs coach, Eric Smith (Jets) as their assistant special teams coach, Tony Sparano Jr. (Jets) as their tight ends coach and Jeff Weeks (Jets) as their assistant defensive line coach.
| Footballguys view: Rex Ryan's new coaching staff is taking shape with some interesting hires. Of course, the one which could matter most is Greg Roman, offensive coordinator. Ryan has always struggled with managing his offense, and if he doesn't get his choice of coordinator right, this will continue and could sink him in Buffalo as it did in New York. |

New York Jets RB Bilal Powell (shoulder), DT Sione Pouha (back), DT Kenrick Ellis (knee) and FS Eric Smith (knee) did not travel with the team for their Week 7 game and have been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Without Powell in the lineup more responsibility falls on the shoulders of Shonn Greene. We could see QB Tim Tebow used more as a runner, and Johnathan Grimes may get a few carries as well. We don't think the Jets will be able to lean on their ground game as they play catch up football against the Patriots on Sunday. |
