\"BuffaloThe Buffalo Bills look to move past the Terrell Owens circus from a year ago and regain some kind of offensive identity under new head coach Chan Gailey.\u00a0 The Bills saw 11 different players start on the offensive line last year while three different quarterbacks took snaps and two different running backs were featured.\u00a0 these contributed to the Bills not doing well against the NFL football point spread.\u00a0 Gailey has already tabbed Trent Edwards as the team\u2019s starting QB heading into this season, and rookie RB C.J. Spiller finally made it to practice after he avoided becoming the last first-round pick to sign his contract.\u00a0 Spiller figures to be an integral part of the offense once he gets familiar with the playbook and hopes to become the team\u2019s most exciting running back since Thurman Thomas.\u00a0 There will be several more position battles throughout training camp for a team that finished just 6-10 last season, but that should only help the team bond under Gailey and become a tighter unit by the time the regular season begins.<\/p>\n
