ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula dismissed any doubts Monday regarding Rex Ryans authority over the team and the coachs decision to fire offensive coordinator Greg Roman.We do things together like any well run org would, Pegula wrote in a text message to The Associated Press. Head coach runs the team and staff.Pegulas comments were in response to questions raised over Ryans authority, and who made the decision to fire Roman on Friday .Citing unnamed sources, NFL Network reported Sunday that Pegula and his wife, Kim, held private meetings with key Bills players without Ryan being present before determining to fire Roman. The report then questioned whether it was Ryans decision to make the change.On Monday, Ryan reiterated the decision was his, adding he had no problem with the Pegulas meeting with players.Theres a couple of things I think that we need to all understand. No. 1, I made the decision on letting Greg Roman go. I think thats it, final, Ryan said. In regards to the reports about how players were seeing ownership, that happens all the time.Ryan said he considers it a positive that the Pegulas get involved, and added they dont need his permission to speak to anyone because they own the team.As for the report, Ryan dismissed it as being unfounded.Do I believe some of the reports that are out there? No, he said. I know that some are ridiculous.Ryan is taking heat with Buffalo off to an 0-2 start in his second season as coach.First, the offense sputtered in a 13-7 season-opening loss at Baltimore. Then it was the defenses turn to unravel in a 37-31 loss to Ryans former team, the Jets, on Thursday. The Bills schedule continues to be daunting, with Buffalo hosting Arizona on Sunday before traveling to New England on Oct. 2.Ryan acknowledged it wasnt an ideal time to fire Roman, but said he recognized a need to make a change to kick start the Tyrod Taylor-led attack. The Bills have had difficulty sustaining drives in combining for just 27 first downs and 553 yards offense in two games.Anthony Lynn, the teams running backs/assistant head coach, was promoted to coordinator. Lynn was overseeing the offense on Monday, when the Bills held a brief practice following a two-day break.Though much of the offensive playbook will remain the same, Ryan expects Lynn to devise an aggressive attack and emphasize Buffalos playmakers.Receiver Sammy Watkins has been limited to six catches for 63 yards. Buffalos LeSean McCoy-led ground game has particularly struggled in combining for 151 yards rushing a season after leading the NFL with 2,432.Watkins said it was too early to judge what impact Lynn might have after just one practice.Without going into much detail, Watkins said he was one of the players who met with the Pegulas on Friday. Watkins said the discussion centered on what the Bills need as a team, and nothing specifically involving Roman.He said the players should take the blame for whats gone wrong.We cant blame anybody, Watkins said. We can do better and play better. And theres things we need to fix. We talked about that.The Bills are coming off a tumultuous offseason dominated by player suspensions and injuries. Defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and right tackle Seantrel Henderson are serving four-game suspensions for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy. Running back Karlos Williams was also suspended before being released last month.Injuries sidelined Buffalos top two draft picks, defensive end Shaq Lawson (shoulder) and linebacker Reggie Ragland (knee). And Watkins is playing despite still feeling soreness in his surgically repaired left foot.The abruptness of Romans firing adds to a belief the Bills are in crisis, a perception Ryan acknowledged and dismissed.When you look at it from afar, you make a change at a coordinator position, were 0-2, I get that, Ryan said. I think in our room, our guys are focused on getting better.Game notes Watkins practiced Monday and said he fully expects to play Sunday. ... LT Cordy Glenn (left ankle) did not practice and Ryan said its too early to determine whether the starter will miss a second consecutive game. ...

Even in the days of in-and-out fields, when Alastair Cook scored 562 runs including three hundreds in 2012-13, the most runs by a visiting batsman in a four-Test series in India, he relied on the lofted shots both for runs and also to get rid of the close-in fielders. On their first day of play on the Indian tour, New Zealand batsmen used the loft liberally to suggest it will be the shot they will go to often in the Tests.Albeit on a non-threatening track against a non-threatening attack, New Zealanders made their intent clear as everybody apart from Martin Guptill got a hit in in their score of 324 for 7 declared. There was no hanging about either as they gave Mumbai 13 overs to play before stumps, and took a wicket during that period. The declaration gave them a good chance of having a proper second innings.Two of the wickets were retirements to allow others a chance to bat. Incidentally, the two who gave up their batting, Tom Latham and BJ Watling, were the ones who batted at a more sedate pace. Apart from the two, and Henry Nicholls, everybody struck at more than 70. Apart from Guptill, who scored 15, everybody crossed 20, including fifties from Kane Williamson and Latham. Targets in particular were the spinners, whose 49 overs were taken for 230 runs. Two of these spinners were part-timers, and two others yet to make their first-class debuts.Another heartening news for New Zealand will be that their lower order and lower-middle order - crucial on raging turners - was among the runs. Watling looked comfortable in his 21, Mitchell Santner and Mark Craig ran away to 45 and 33 not out, and Ish Sodhi scored a slightly streakier 29.Every batsman that faced spin played the lofted shot early in the innings. That leaves out Guptill, who got out even before spin came on, but he had started the day with a hooked six in the first over of the match.dddddddddddd A Mumbai attack missing its spearhead Shardul Thakur and with left-arm spinner Vishal Dabholkar - average of 31 - as its best spinner was then punished. Williamson stepped out repeatedly to loft Dabholkar over mid-on. He went back to taking singles once the fielder was pushed to long-on, but went aerial again as soon as Dabholkar called the fielder back up. Latham once swept Dabholkar for four from way outside the off stump. The intent - on a friendly surface against friendly bowlers - was clear.Balwinder Sandhu, with healthy swing but at a gentle pace, was the only shining light for Mumbai. He got the wickets of Guptill and Williamson in the first session with outswingers. As the day wore on, though, Mumbai made more and more use of spinners. Ross Taylor made use of the cut shot before lofting legspinner Parikshit Valsangkar into the sightscreen. Facing his first over of spin, Nicholls came down the wicket to loft left-arm spinner Vijay Gohil for two fours. Santner did the same to Gohil as soon as he came out to bat. Craig reserved the same treatment for Dabholkar.New Zealand had just one three-day warm-up game to get used to the conditions before going into the first Test in Kanpur. As has become the norm world over, the hosts did them no favours by giving them a pitch that looks nothing like the raging turners that teams expect in India nowadays. Also they had a second-string Mumbai side to face with their best players playing for India A in Australia. New Zealanders success with their ploy of using their feet and the lofted shots needs to be seen in that light, but one thing was clear: they showed enough signs they are not here to play passive cricket, which South Africa, at times, might have been accused of in Indias last home season.
