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. ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Minnesota Twins closer Brandon Kintzler was concentrating on Terrance Gore, the Kansas City Royals pinch-runner, not Paulo Orlando, the hitter.After Salvador Perezs pinch-hit RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning pulled the Royals within a run, Gore ran for him. With Orlando, who had four hits to match his career high, at bat, Kintzler picked Gore off first base to preserve the Twins 7-6 victory Thursday night.Gore was initially called safe, but after a 1 minute, 15 second review, the call was reversed to end the game.Kintzler made two throws to first baseman Kennys Vargas and the second one nabbed Gore.I think the game plan was just forget the hitter and try to pick the guy off, Kintzler said. I knew I had him. But, you just never know what the replay is going to say. Ive never ended the game on a pickoff. Maybe when I was a kid.Gore is used almost strictly as a pinch-runner and has 11 steals in 12 attempts this season.He got caught leaning, Royals manager Ned Yost said.Byron Buxton tripled, doubled, drove in two runs and scored twice in the victory.Buxtons one-out double triggered a three-run ninth off Kelvin Herrera (2-6).

When you get tired you start trying to muscle the ball and hes been a little more impatient the last couple of days, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. Were down to 12 at-bats if he plays the next three games, roughly. Give up three to try to make the last 12 really good. ... Eduardo Escobar made his first start of the season at second base.
