ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Marcell Dareus is confident he can finally begin focusing on playing football after the Bills star defensive tackle spent a four-game suspension confronting personal issues ?? including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder -- that were holding him back.Im happy to be back, and Im a better person, Dareus said Wednesday, after rejoining the Bills for practice for the first time in six weeks.I really feel I got exactly what I needed. I really sought out help when I never really asked for it, so I can take the proper steps to really help myself be the person that I want to be.Dareus understands the onus is on him after being disciplined by the NFL for violating the leagues substance abuse policy for a second consecutive season.Talk is cheap, Dareus said, reiterating a comment he made in August, when first addressing news of his suspension. Its not about words. Its all action now.Dareus revealed he did not enter a rehabilitation facility, as he initially said he would when being excused from the team on Aug. 20.Instead, Dareus sought consultation from a life coach and leaned on the advice of several Bills Hall of Famers, including defensive end Bruce Smith.Dareus acknowledged one unresolved personal issue was ADHD, which hes struggled with since his college days at Alabama. He also said he received positive reinforcement from people who dont want anything from me.The Bills top-paid player previously complained hes tried to avoid returning home to Alabama because of various distractions.Im just happy with what I did over the four weeks. I really was proactive, Dareus said. Im really optimistic of the future.The first step takes place on Sunday, when Buffalo (2-2) travels to play Los Angeles (3-1).Though Dareus is on Buffalos exempt list, coach Rex Ryan fully anticipates him to be activated by the end of the week.You hope that they learn from the mistake that they make, thats the first thing, Ryan said.And then you hope that hes ready to go and hes eager and excited about the opportunity to come back and be part of this football team. And I can tell you right now the answer is yes. So its a great thing. Im happy to get him back, I can promise you that.Dareus is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and has been a starter since Buffalo selected him with the No. 3 pick in the 2011 draft.At 6-foot-3 and 331 pounds, Dareus has been a disruptive force in the middle because of his strength to shed blockers and is also quick on his feet.Off-field issues have been the only concern involving Dareus.Though the NFL did not reveal the reason behind the suspension, Dareus said it was because of a missed drug test.His one-game suspension last year stemmed from Dareus being charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia after being stopped by police in his native Alabama in May 2014.The charges were dropped when Dareus agreed to enter an NFL substance abuse program.Also in May 2014, he was arrested after crashing his Jaguar into a tree near a busy suburban intersection not far from the teams practice facility. Dareus reached a plea agreement to have the charges dropped.Dareus declined to discuss his past by saying he wants to move forward.He rejoins a defense thats started showing signs of establishing an aggressive identity , and a team thats won two straight following a 16-0 win at New England on Sunday.The Patriots were limited to 277 yards, 13 first downs and blanked at home for the first time since 1993.In a 33-18 win over Arizona a week earlier, the Bills had five sacks and forced five turnovers.Dareus said the worst part of being suspended was watching the Bills play without him.Oh, man, it was a killer, bro, he said. It ate me up inside.Dareus said hes in good shape and is up for playing as many snaps as possible.Coach and them dont want me to kill myself, Dareus said, referring to Ryans plan of easing him back. Im pretty eager to get out there. I have a lot of pent-up aggression. Im ready to go, I can say that much.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Mens Air Max Retro . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.

The superstars come out to play when the First Direct Arena in Leeds hosts the opening night of tungsten action this Thursday night, live on Sky Sports.Defending champion Gary Anderson, world No 1 Michael van Gerwen and six-time winner Phil Taylor head a star-studded 10-man field which heads to 16 venues with over 100,000 fans expected to turn out. Its the biggest tournament ever and the four-time World Championship semi-finalist and former Premier League star Mardle takes us through his overall predictions for the season.The dark horse Dave Chizzy Chisnall will not be far off from repeating his performance last season where he so nearly won the league. I think now hes got this game where he used to be so hit and miss. If he was slightly off he would lose. Hes not like that anymore because hes found this consistent way of playing - he doesnt snatch like he used to - he just seems in control of himself and his darts and I think he will be the outsider to make the play-offs again.When [Raymond] Van Barneveld won it in 2014, he made the semi-final by just scrapping in and he hadnt beaten Phil [Taylor] in 21 attempts on TV. He beat Phil and then he beat Michael [Van Gerwen] in the final so any outcome is possible of that there is no doubt. (Chisnall 9/4 to make the play-offs at Sky Bet)Early exits For me its going to be Robert Thornton and Michael Smith. They are the two favourites to be eliminated or not make the cut, relegated, whatever you want to call it.Thornton is not playing well - hes played pretty poorly and at the Worlds he didnt look great. Theres a lot of things that are happening when Robert plays.He was the highest seed that went out at the Worlds and was 8-0 up at the Masters before going on to lose against Dave Chisnall - these things do not happen when youre not playing well. He wont be high on confidence. As for Michael Smith, the Premier League is difficult - I know that and all the players that play in it will tell you about that.A good start for him is paramount. I think he has to win the first two games. You dont have to win every week, but I just think he has to win in one of the first two weeks otherwise he could be on a bit of a downer with confidence. He doesnt seem the type to pick himself up to me.Power cut I dont think Phil Taylor will dominate.dddddddddddd If he wins it, I think it will be the hard way. Nothing comes easy to Phil at the moment. Even when hes making or what seems to be making light work of an opponent he will miss and give them an opportunity, which is something he never used to do.Its just the mindset because when youre used to beating someone [like Phil Taylor] and then it turns the other way, its difficult. The mind plays tricks on you and you think youre not going to win even though you think youve got that chance, that opportunity. (Taylor 5/4 not to reach the play-offs with Sky Bet)Top guns I think Michael Van Gerwen and Gary Anderson will end up first and second in the Premier League table and I think Michael will finish top. Hes won it the last three years so I cant see no reason why he wont win it again - he is the best player on the planet - and he proves that consistently, even when he loses. At the World Championship he averaged 105 - the mans an absolute machine at the moment.Hes got that Phil Taylor mindset where he wants to win, win, win. Michael has never actually said that he is looking for perfection. As long as hes happy with his performance, hes OK. Whereas Phils always been 118 average, I can do better. Michael is 118 average, that was brilliant - yeah, I want to do that again.And the winner is... No great shakes - Michael Van Gerwen. Like I said, come the play-off, any one of the four who are in it can most certainly win the trophy. Van Gerwen, Anderson and Taylor have won it before. Barney has won it before. I think whoever qualifies will fancy it, I really do.Michael Van Gerwen, from day-to-day, he is just becoming an absolute certainty. He is winning games - he gets in early and rips them to shreds and makes the players doubt themselves.When he is behind he can fight back and he gets away with it like Phil Taylor used to. People panic when they have a chance to beat him and I just think he will take all the stopping. He will win the league phase and I think he will win it overall.
