Denney To Undergo Surgery On Monday
Dan Cave - Sunday, August 19, 2007 - 6:43 PM

(WGR 550) -- Buffalo Bills defensive end Ryan Denney will have surgery on his broken left foot on Monday, keeping him out of the lineup indefinitely. Denney injured himself during Friday's preseason loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

The Denney injury leaves Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay, and the soon-to-be suspended Anthony Hargrove as the only defensive ends on Buffalo's roster who boast NFL regular season experience. The others are Ryan Neill, Eric Powell, and rookie C.J. Ah You.

LB Angelo Crowell (knee) and OL Melvin Folwer (ankle) did not practice on Sunday. RB Josh Scobey, OL Aaron Merz, and OL Brad Butler also sat out.

Special talent keeps Aiken going

Backup receiver finds niche on coverage terms

By Rodney McKissic
News Sports Reporter

PITTSFORD-Sam Aiken is a backup wide receiver who if he had his druthers, would leap frog up the depth chart and catch more passes.

But there are questions about Aiken's ability as a wideout: Is he fast enough to get separation on the league's best corners? Will he stay true on his routes?

But there aren't any reservations about Aiken's talen on special teams, where he's been one of the top players on the unit the last three seasons. His job on special teams is in clear focus.

"Special teams are my pride and glory as far as me making plays, making tackles and getting a key block for our returners, "Aiken said on Tuesday during the Buffalo Bills training camp. "Special teams are where it's really at for me as far as my role on the Buffalo Bills."

Coverage wins games because it determines field position, so a player like Aiken is one of the more valuable guys on the roster whether he catches a pass or not. Opponents have to account for Aiken's whereabouts on every kick and punt.

"He's been fantastic," said Bills special teams coach Bobby April. "He's been a really good guy on kick-off returns and punt returns. He's a real good player. His character and work ethic along with his ability make him great for us."

April has a detailed and at times subjective special teams point systems that leans heavily on production. For example, an assist is worth six points, reaching the ball carrier first along with an assist is worth 10 points and unassisted tackle is worth 15. And Aiken can pile up the points. "Each phase has its own deal," April said. If you block a punt, that's worth 30 points. Score a touchdown, that worth 30. That's the most we give. Cause a fumble? That's a 25 pointer. And Sam has been way up there in everything. Each year, he's been in the top two or three.

April hands out an award at the end of each year, a Special Teams Heisman, if you will to the top player on the unit. Aiken won the award in 2005, while linebacker Coy Wire took it last season.

'It's always a close race between me, Mario (Haggan), Josh Stammer and Coy Wire," said Aiken, who recorded 13 special teams tackles in 2006. "Who's going to make this tackle?" Who's going to make this key block? Who's going to block this punt? Who's going to block this field goal? That's what keeps this fun. I'm going to try and get the award at the end of this year."

Which is why Aiken keeps close tabs of his own points.

"On Mondays, we always race in to see who has the most points," he said. "You jot down your own points because Coach might be off a point or two at the end of the year once you total everything up so I keep a notepad in my locker."

In terms of gaining more playing time at wideout, Aiken said, it rests with him. He's a wide receiver by position at 6-foot-2 the tallest on the roster, yet he is fifth on the depth chart, Aiken, a fourth-round pick by the Bills in 2003, figures he can earn more playing time at receiver by making sure the dpeths on his routes are proper and by reading coverages on the run.

"I can catch everything and make the best blocks, but if I don't line up where I'm supposed to line up, that's what the coaches look at," Aiken said.

The Bills lost some good players in the offseason...McGahee, Spikes, Holcomb. It'll be interesting to see how they start off this season.
