Brian Daboll has far too much on his plate to have time to reflect on how the Buffalo Bills new offensive coordinator's career has brought him home.

There's a new series of plays to install Youth Arden Key Jersey , players to evaluate and, most important, a new young hope at quarterback in first-round draft pick Josh Allen to groom.

So forget asking Daboll what it's like to be working with the team he grew up in suburban Buffalo rooting for, or being on a staff headed by Sean McDermott, the former safety whom Daboll coached at William and Mary in 1997.

"Just day by day," he said in addressing reporters at the Bills facility for the first time since being hired in January.

"You're really grinding on that particular day and trying to get focused, whether it's later on with the players or the next day, so you just kind of stay in the flow."

And on Thursday, Daboll's past was nowhere near the forefront of his attention.

"No. I've got my two-minute in my mind right now," he said, referring to having his offense run the two-minute drill in practice for the first time this spring.

The 43-year-old is entering his 18th NFL season and 22nd overall, including college.

It's a career in which Daboll has won five Super Bowl titles as an assistant during two separate stints with the New England Patriots. And he's coming off a season in which he oversaw a run-heavy Crimson Tide offense that helped Alabama win the national title.

The championship experience was re-affirming for Daboll in proving he can adapt the offense to a team's strengths while also gaining a better appreciation of dealing with younger players.

"The college game is a little different than the National Football League so I learned a lot there Youth Kolton Miller Jersey ," he said. "You can't put as much on them."

It's a lesson that will certainly carry over to Buffalo, where Daboll takes over an offense essentially rebuilding from scratch, with the exception of veteran star running back LeSean McCoy.

Buffalo's undergoing yet another switch at quarterback after third-year starter Tyrod Taylor was traded to Cleveland in March.

There's a three-way competition for the starting job led by Allen, the raw strong-armed rookie out of Wyoming who was selected with the seventh pick in the draft. It's rounded out by AJ McCarron, who spent his first four NFL seasons as Andy Dalton's backup in Cincinnati, and second-year player Nathan Peterman.

The offensive line is in transition after losing three starters. And the receiver position lacks established depth behind Kelvin Benjamin.

Benjamin said Daboll is putting the onus on the offensive veterans such as himself, McCoy and tight end Charles Clay to lead by example.

"He holds you accountable," Benjamin said. "I think they're giving the young guys a little bit more leeway. But us three, I think we really have to focus on it a little bit more and just knowing our position and even knowing other people's positions."

Daboll said it's premature to project who will fill out the starting jobs, and that particularly includes quarterback.

"All we're trying to take is one step at a time," he said. "It's so early in the process right now. I think that'll sort itself out as time goes on."

McCarron and Peterman are splitting time with the starters, while Allen Rams Cheap Jerseys , for now, is working with the third stringers.

Allen's inconsistencies were apparent during the two-minute drill.

He telegraphed his third pass, which was intercepted by cornerback Breon Borders. During his second chance, Allen completed five of seven attempts, including one dropped pass, and capped the drive by hitting Cam Phillips in the right corner of the end zone.

Daboll is Buffalo's fifth coordinator in five years. He replaced Rick Dennison who was fired after one season in which the Bills finished 29th in yards 鈥?mostly because of a popgun passing attack 鈥?and 22nd in points.

Daboll was actually born in Welland, Ontario, just across the river from Buffalo. But he quickly relocated to West Seneca, New York, where he was brought up by his maternal grandparents and developed a passion for football and the Bills.

"I know it's different being at home, being raised here. There's a lot of people, and I'm one of them http://www.titansauthorizedshops.com/authentic-harold-landry-jersey , that love this team," Daboll said. "I'm just excited to be here."

NOTES: TE Logan Thomas will miss the final two weeks of spring practices after having surgery to repair a minor knee injury. ... The Bills have four voluntary practices next week, and then hold a three-day mandatory minicamp from June 12-14.

The New York Giants had the busiest day in their search for a new coach, interviewing New England Patriots coordinators Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia.

McDaniels, the Patriots’ offensive coordinator, met with new general manager Dave Gettleman, Giants co-owner John Mara and assistant general manager Kevin Abrams on Friday afternoon in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Patricia, the defensive coordinator, talked with the trio in the morning.

The Patriots have a first-round bye, allowing their coaching staff to be interviewed this week.

McDaniels has been a member of New England’s coaching staff for all five of the Patriots’ Super Bowl championships, including two as offensive coordinator. He has coached under Bill Belichick for 14 of the last 17 seasons.

This past season was his sixth in his second stint as New England’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The Patriots led the NFL in total yards (394.2 per game) and were second in passing yards (276.1) and scoring (28.6 points).

McDaniels first served as an assistant with the Patriots from 2001-08 Sam Hubbard Jersey Elite , and played a key role on a staff that won three Super Bowl titles and four AFC championships.

McDaniels spent the 2009-10 seasons as coach of the Denver Broncos. He had an 8-8 record in his first season and was fired late in his second with a 3-9 record, finishing 11-17 overall.

He rejoined the Patriots in 2012 after spending a year as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach of the St. Louis Rams, who coincidentally were then coached by Steve Spagnuolo, who finished this season as the Giants interim coach after Ben McAdoo was fired on Dec. 4.

Spagnuolo interviewed for the Giants job on Wednesday.

A snowstorm forced the Giants to postpone a planned interview with recently fired Denver Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville on Thursday. He will meet with the team next week. Coincidentally, he finished the 2010 season as the Broncos’ interim coach after McDaniels was fired.

New York also plans to talk to Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur on Saturday. There were reports that Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz would meet with the team on Sunday, but that no longer is certain.

Patricia has been a member of the Patriots’ coaching staff since 2004 and the defensive coordinator for the last six seasons. The 43-year-old has been a part of three of their five Super Bowl victories, as well as their losses to the Giants after the 2007 and ’11 seasons.

The Patriots ranked 29th in yards allowed (366.0), but held opponents to an average of 18.5 points. Only one of the Patriots’ final 12 opponents scored more than 24 points.

Patricia’s 2016 defense finished No. 1 in the NFL by allowing 15.6 points per game.

Prior to joining the Patriots, Patricia spent six seasons coaching in college. He worked as an aeronautical engineer for two years before returning to coaching at Amherst in 1999. Patricia’s first coaching experience came in 1996, when he served as a graduate assistant at RPI, where he was a center and guard.
