Bills need to get Bledsoe back on track

AFC East
Buffalo Bills After a sub-par performance in 2003, the Bills are hoping Drew Bledsoe will bounce back with a strong 2004. The new coaching staff is expected to help Bledsoe get back on track by using more three-receiver sets and more three-to-five step drops. Keeping starting RB Travis Henry happy while easing Willis McGahee into the lineup will be the second obstacle the coaching staff will need to overcome. The organization has too much invested in McGahee for him sit on the bench.

Denney plays well against the run but lacks explosiveness as a pass rusher while Kelsay is strictly an edge rusher with limited run-stopping skills. The Bills would much rather have a more complete player starting.
