Our View:The Bills are one of the best stories of the season thus far, and they have a good, young group of talent. It makes sense for the organization to keep Jauron moving forward with that crew. Good move.

October 19, 2008
Quarterback Trent Edwards completed 25-of-30 passes for 261 yards and one touchdown in the Week 7 victory over San Diego.

He fully practiced today and said, "I’m happy and excited that I’m out there with my teammates and not on the couch at my house. It’s a much better feeling coming into work feeling healthy and feeling good coming off a bye week and hopefully I’ll have a big game on Sunday for us."
Our View:Edwards holds a solid 93.9 efficiency rating, and should be considered for fantasy lineups with a favorable match-up against the Chargers' 31st ranked pass defense.
|
October 13, 2008

Our View:The Bills are facing one of the weakest pass defenses in the league in San Diego next week, so Edwards owners should keep their fingers crossed that he will be able to return. If Edwards is unable to go, J.P. Losman would get the start.
|
October 7, 2008
As expected, Buffalo quarterback Trent Edwards did not practice on Tuesday as he recovers from a concussion he sustained during Week 5, according to the AP.

|
October 6, 2008
Trent Edwards (concussion) is unlikely to appear in practice this week for the Bills which obviously stamps his availability for the Bills next game in Week 7 in some doubt, according to the Associated Press. "We follow a routine for any of our players that suffer a concussion, so that's what we'll do with Trent," HC Dick Jauron said.
Our View:Obviously with the bye week Edwards will have two weeks to get ready for the Bills next game, and he might need that entire time to get back to the point where he is physically capable of performing without concern for his health.
|
October 6, 2008
Trent Edwards suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to Arizona, but could be back for the Cardinals' next game as he has extra time to rest with a bye in Week 6, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

|
September 4, 2008
Bills quarterback Trent Edwards has been named a captain for the upcoming season, according to the Buffalo News. Also named captain were Lee Evans, Donte Whitnerm Chris Kelsay, Brian Moorman and George Wilson.

August 28, 2008
As the preseason winds down there are a few things to watch. One of the bigger issues is who is going to be the Bills starting quarterback. Trent Edwards will be a game-time decision tonight as the Bills take on the Detroit Lions. According to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Edwards is still feeling the lingering effects from his bruised right quadriceps muscle.
Our View:It looks like Edwards will be the starter if he comes back healthy but he will have little fantasy value.
|
August 27, 2008
Bills quarterback Trent Edwards was back at practice, but did not participate in team drills as he recovers from a thigh contusion, according to BuffaloBills.com.

|
August 26, 2008

Trent Edwards is out for Sunday's preseason contest against the Colts due to his quad contusion, according to the official team website. He was unable to practice Friday.

|
August 19, 2008
Trent Edwards suffered a quad contusion during practice on Tuesday night. "It was a pretty deep one so they took him in to treat it quickly and try to get it before it swelled," head coach Dick Jauron informs the team's official web site. "The collision was with Marshawn (Lynch). Marshawn's knee was a little bit sore, by the end of practice so we took him off too, but he finished the whole practice, but hopefully they'll be fine as we move forward."
Our View:We'll chalk it up as a day-to-day deal for both Edwards and Lynch. They might need some more work on their handoffs.
|
August 19, 2008
Trent Edwards hobbled off the field after taking a knee-to-knee hit on Tuesday night. Trainers were looking at his right knee, the team's official web site reports. Edwards walked off under his own power.

August 14, 2008
Bills quarterback Trent Edwards threw two touchdowns in his 9-for-11 performance as the Bills took down the Steelers 24-21 in preseason action. Edwards finished with 104 yards.
Our View:Edwards still can't be a guy trusted to fantasy teams, but this performance bodes will for the young quarterback's confidence heading into the season.
|
June 17, 2008
The Bills finished 25th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt in 2007 with a 6.39 mark, and new offensive coordinator Turk Schonert plans to change Buffalo's figure for the better with more downfield throws as part of the solution, according to BuffaloBills.com. Trent Edwards commented, "I'm planning on going out to visit with Lee Evans and throw with him in Florida. I'll also probably be out in Arizona with Rob Royal and throwing with him."
Our View:Edwards and speed demon Evans should enjoy a boost with Schonert on board to infuse some life into a Bills' offense that lacked a pulse in 2007. Edwards is an accurate passer with a good arm and the offense should be much more exciting this season, which will translate to better fantasy numbers.

Head coach Dick Jauron envisions an offense with a faster tempo and more three-step drops, according to ESPN. Jauron thinks such an approach will help out his offensive line while playing to the strengths of his quarterbacks. "It makes sense for a lot of reasons," Jauron said. "Trent [Edwards] does get the ball out quickly. J.P. [Losman] can get it out quickly and be accurate. It will help our offensive line. It will change the tempo of the game." The Bills have a youthful foundation of skill position players, who will likely take time to come together as a cohesive offensive unit. The organization is also expected to draft a wide receiver, in an effort to increase the explosiveness of the offense.

March 26, 2008
New offensive coordinator Turk Schonert will call the plays in Buffalo in 2008, according to USA Today. Schonert, who was promoted from quarterback coach, has spent 22 years in the NFL, 10 as a player and 12 as an assistant coach. This will be his first chance as a coordinator, and he will be charged with bringing some new ideas and tactics to an offense that ranked 30th in the NFL the past two seasons. This won't be the first time Schonert calls plays in the NFL. When he was quarterbacks coach in New Orleans in 2005, he called plays when the Saints went no-huddle and were in the two-minute drill. Schonert was a quarterback during his career, so he brings a unique perspective to the play calling duties.
