Specifically, whether or not the running back could be traded, cut or demoted. McCoy spoke to the media for the first time at Buffalo Bills training camp on Tuesday and worked to dispel all three of those options. LeSean McCoy suggested he has been told he remains the starter.“I’m the guy. I feel like that. That’s what I’ve been told,” he told collected reports on the last day of training camp. “There’s always talk about something. Whether it’s off the field, on the field. Whether it’s age White Lorenzo Alexander Jerseys , my salary, there’s always something. So I learned to use that as motivation.”The Bills have added to that motivation this offseason. They drafted a running back in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft (Devin Singletary) and signed free agents Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon.McCoy said he welcomes the competition. “That’s my everyday approach,” said McCoy. “We’re all a team and trying to help each other out to win games, compete against each other and make each other better. Me and Frank have been competing for years. We train in the offseason and we’re always trying to beat each other. I’m excited for the challenge.”LeSean McCoy addressed trade rumors specifically, saying if they were true he would already be gone.“Two teams were trying to get me so if I was gone, they would’ve gotten something for me,” he said without naming names. “It’s common sense.”Not only does McCoy still believe he’s the starter Lorenzo Alexander Jerseys 2019 , he indicated he felt he could reach 1,000 yards this season when asked. He is using all the doubt as motivation. We’ll see how it pans out in 2019. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Sean McDermott insists the Buffalo Bills have enough talent on offense to win in the NFL."I believe we do," the Bills coach said.It sure didn't look that way in a 41-9 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, in what became the latest comedy of errors produced by an offense that's proven more capable of committing turnovers than scoring touchdowns this season. Nathan Peterman continued showing he's nowhere close to resembling an NFL quarterback. He threw three interceptions — one returned for a touchdown — to up his career total to 13 interceptions in just 153 passing attempts, including playoffs.Backup tight end Jason Croom lost a fumble , which was returned for another score.The Bills (2-7) were held to under 10 points for the fifth time this season White Ramon Humber Jerseys , and have managed just 96 in nine games.And the only bright side was Peterman's mean-nothing 1-yard touchdown run scored with 5:41 remaining to end Buffalo's touchdown drought at 187 minutes and 19 seconds. It was the Bills' eighth TD of the season, and first since Peterman's 16-yard pass to Zay Jones in the fourth quarter of a 20-13 loss at Houston three weeks ago."It was like a domino effect today," receiver Kelvin Benjamin said. "It just kept stacking up on us. We really couldn't catch back up."He was referring to a second quarter in which the Bears scored 28 points in span of 12:20, included Eddie Jackson's 65-yard fumble return and Leonard Floyd returning a pass that tipped off of Jones' hands 19 yards for a score."I don't have the exact answer for it," Jones said. "I don't think I see anybody that's not trying to give it their all. That's the most discouraging thing about the whole situation right now is that the effort is there."Frustration is setting in on a team that has lost four straight and, off to its worst start since losing eight of its nine first games in 2010.The Bills had no choice but to start Peterman , with rookie Josh Allen missing his third straight game with a sprained right elbow and Derek Anderson sidelined by a concussion.Though Peterman's struggles were anticipated Ramon Humber Jerseys 2019 , the Bills have no solutions in spurring a running attack that is suddenly regressing.A week after LeSean McCoy had 13 yards on 12 carries in a 25-6 loss to New England , the running back was limited to 10 yards on 10 carries against the Bears.McDermott even made the decision to sit McCoy for a majority of the second half while he tinkered with his offensive line. Rookie Wyatt Teller saw playing time at left guard, while Jeremiah Sirles eventually split time at right tackle.McDermott was vague in saying he sat McCoy because of what the Bears were doing schematically.McCoy, meantime, didn't stick around to share his thoughts. He was spotted exiting the locker room before reporters were allowed to enter.Though Peterman will bear the brunt of the blame, not all the interceptions were his fault.Newly signed receiver Terrelle Pryor caught Peterman's pass and lost control as he turned up field, with the ball landing in defensive back Adrian Amos‘ hands. Three snaps into Buffalo's next possession White Jerry Hughes Jerseys , Peterman's hard pass over the middle struck Jones in the hand and bounced directly to Floyd, who returned it for a touchdown.Peterman finished 31 of 49 for 189 yards and sacked four times in an outing reminiscent of his previous meltdowns. Peterman lost the starting job after faltering midway through a season-opening 47-3 loss at Baltimore. And then there were the five interceptions he threw in a 54-24 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers a year ago."I think I don't feel snake-bitten. I never feel like a victim or anything like that," Peterman said. "It's life. Things don't always bounce your way."Benjamin rallied to Peterman's support, saying it's unfair to pin the blame on him."We know how the outside world works. They're going to bash him and try to break his confidence. But Nate's a good dude," Benjamin said. "Unfortunately, bad things keep happening. And that's football."
