ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Though nervous in taking over as the Buffalo Bills new offensive coordinator, Alex Van Pelt has the players behind him after several expressed concerns about Turk Schonert, who was abruptly fired last week.
Both quarterback Trent Edwards and receiver Lee Evans supported the move after the team returned to practice Sunday to start preparing for its season opener at New England on Sept. 14. Both indicated players had voiced their concerns about the offensive sputters to coach Dick Jauron, who ultimately made the decision to fire Schonert on Friday.
“I think everybody had concerns about it,” Evans said. “I think the basis of it was that things weren’t getting done the right way. And that was the cause of the change.”
