PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Its no coincidence, receiver T.J. Graham points out, that the Buffalo Bills opened training camp by putting on an aerial display featuring one deep completion after another. The Bills intention during a two-minute session that finished after 10 consecutive long bombs into the end zone was to create an early buzz by showing off their young and speedy stable of receivers. "Coming out as an offence with a bunch of newly acquired weapons, coming out and showing what we can do with it was the point of that," Graham said, recalling the camp-opening practice in suburban Rochester. "Its just showing what we could do. The quarterbacks love it, and the receivers love it, too. The deep ball is touchdown. Its money." Some 10 days later, very little has changed in the practice repertoire, with the offence continuing to find time to put an emphasis on its newfound ability to spread the field. Whether it was rookie quarterback EJ Manuel hooking up with Graham twice on that first day of camp, or Manuel hitting rookie Marquise Goodwin on a 63-yard touchdown pass to end practice Friday. Even third-string quarterback Jeff Tuel got involved by completing a 45-yard throw to Goodwin during a scrimmage Monday. These new-look Bills are showing signs of being built for speed with a revamped group of receivers. Its a new approach for a team that was previously knocked for its dink-and-dunk, popgun attack under former coach Chan Gailey, who was fired after three losing seasons. And it comes with the arrival of first-time coach Doug Marrone who, along with first-time co-ordinator Nathaniel Hackett, are installing an up-tempo, no-huddle and aggressive style of offence. "You always heard the saying, Luck follows speed," Marrone said, noting he first heard the saying from Dick MacPherson, his college coach at Syracuse. "I just believe in that. I think when you have speed, it opens some things up." The Bills rookie draft class reflects Marrones philosophy. Buffalo used a second-round pick to draft Robert Woods out of Southern California, and followed by selecting Goodwin, a Texas speedster and Olympic-caliber long-jumper, in the third round. They join Graham, a second-year player, who was both a receiver and track star at North Carolina State. And the group is rounded out by returning starter Stevie Johnson, who will miss about two weeks after pulling his hamstring on Friday. Johnsons injury turns the focus to the Bills young receivers heading into the teams preseason opener at Indianapolis on Sunday. Thats fine with Goodwin. "Its an opportunity to show what were capable of," Goodwin said. "(The Bills) know what were capable of, or else they wouldnt have hired us for the job. Its all about just proving it to everybody else out here." Aside from speed, the youngsters have also shown signs of having good hands and being versatile. Woods is capable of playing both the slot and wideout spots alongside Johnson. Quarterback Kevin Kolb has been particularly impressed with Woods. "Stud. Legitimately a stud," Kolb said last week, before he hurt his left knee. "Not just talent, the kid can run better than I think anyone gives him credit for." Goodwin has proven to be a better receiver than the Bills initially expected. On Monday, he made two acrobatic catches on deep passes, both times coming down with the ball. "I think youre always excited about a guy like that," Hackett said of Goodwin. "I think what hes done out here up to this point, I dont think really anybody expected. ... Im really excited to see how hes going to be able to help us out." The speed among his receivers makes it easy on Hackett when it comes to designing deep passes. "Its hard to out-throw them," Hackett said. "We just say when those fast guys are out there, Just drop back and throw it as far as you can." ---- NOTES: Kolb, who is excused to attend a death in his family, is expected to return for practice Friday, Marrone said. It wont be determined until after practice whether Kolb will play at Indianapolis. ... CB Leodis McKelvin was held out of practice due to soreness. ... Former NFL centre Kevin Mawae was one of five selected to be the teams Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship participants and serve as coaching interns during training camp.

Coach Luke Beveridge has applauded the Western Bulldogs grit after Jason Johannisens goal in the dying seconds to seal a thrilling four-point AFL win over Sydney.Johannisens heroics after a nine-week injury layoff secured a 13.5 (83) to 11.13 (79) victory on Saturday at the SCG, lifting them to fifth place and denying the Swans top spot on a logjammed ladder.The seesawing clash was the Dogs first return to the ground since their epic triumph by the same margin last season in round five.Its been a happy hunting ground the last two years, Beveridge said.A couple of incredible wins, and tonight is worth about 10, I think.To achieve an experience like we did tonight ... they count for more than normal because you hold your nerve and you keep your faith when the chips are down.It showed a lot of grit (from) our boys, just a brilliant victory.JJ was cool as a cucumber in the end.Johannisen was surprisingly quick off the halfback line in his first appearance in 10 weeks since tearing a hamstring tendon.Despite not playing a reserves match in the lead-up, the 23-year-old took an impressive 20 possessions as the Dogs kept numbers behind the ball to restrict the Swans movement.It was an effective tactic that helped former Swan Shane Biggs kick the games opening goal from outside 50m.Though Lance Franklin (five goals, 21 disposals) and Jarrad McVeigh steered the hosts to the lead at the first break, the Dogs surged ahead via a three-goal second-quarter flurry within four minutes.That included two from Jake Stringer in 80 seconds, his second an explosive sharp-angled snap to contend for one of the goals of the season.Franklin ensured the Swans didnt trail for long, matching Stringer with two of his own majors in as many minutes.But as the contest opened up, the Dogs stepped up their insiide-50 efficiency to snatch a 13-point edge in a dominant third term.dddddddddddd.Lachie Hunter and Marcus Bontempelli were relentless but Tom Libertore changed the momentum by scoring two of his teams five unanswered goals and having a hand in the other three.Some of the things he did in that third quarter to put us in the game were brilliant, Beveridge said.That was despite Luke Parkers standout performance with a match-high 34 disposals and 23 handballs.Swans coach John Longmire described Sydneys third quarter as poor.They outhunted us in that third term in contested ball and uncontested ball, but also in clearances.We allowed them to kick six of their goals in the third term which really cost us.For only the second time this campaign, the Swans were behind at three-quarter time.Franklin rammed home two rapid goals to claim a one-point lead that was soon extended to a shaky three points.And under pressure, with fulltime about to sound, Johannisen stepped up and delivered.The Dogs stepped up their inside 50 efficiency to snatch a 13-point edge in a dominant third term, Tom Libertore scoring two of five unanswered goals and having a hand in the other three.That was despite Luke Parkers impressive performance which included a match-high 34 disposals and 23 handballs.For only the second time this campaign, the Swans were behind at three-quarter time.Franklin rammed home two rapid goals to claim a one-point lead that was soon extended to a shaky three points.And under pressure, with the full-
