NFL TRAINING CAMP DAY 9

Saturday,  was a very hard day for a lot of the teams in the NFL. Injury struck numerous teams on Saturday at day number 9 of training camp. The Buffalo Bills were having there share of hurt, when Kevin Kolb went down at training camp on Saturday. Kolb this season at training camp was competing with rookie quarterback EJ Manuel Saturday for the starting quarterback job for the Buffalo Bills, when he injured his left knee. Reportedly Kolb landed wrong when he slipped and stumbled awkwardly while changing fields between practice drills. Coach Marrone told reporters Saturday he doesn't think that the injury will be detrimental to the team, but he will keep a close eye on the situation. Also on Saturday Coach Marrone gave a update on starting Bills receiver Stevie Johnson, saying the receiver should be able to go, in week two of the preseason, because of a pulled hamstring. Also on Saturday we learned of the struggles that are still lingering with the New York Jets this season. The jets have had there share of problems in the past two years, from Mark Sanchez not living up to his full potential and the offensive line being blamed for the teams struggles offensively  this past season. On Saturday the Jets had there annual Green and White scrimmage, and things didn't go as planned. Mark Sanchez through a interception pass to Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, after the pass was intercepted, there was a huge "booo" in the crowd, and Antonio gave his thoughts on the crowds reaction saturday after the game. "I think that's bull crap." Sanchez was 6 for 11 with 93 yards on the scrimmage on saturday. Smith completed 9 of 16 passes for 77 yards. Rex Ryan was very impressed with the rookies performance, and had some words about the rookie quarter back saturday after the scrimmage "he was absolutely tremendous", Ryan said. When asked about Sanchez performance Ryan told reporters "Some good moments and some bad moments." This should make for a very exciting season for all teams, as the beginning of the preseason begins sunday night with the Dallas Cowboys vs the Miami Dolphins.
