"Even in the film room trying to grasp the offense, it's like a race
to see who knows it the best and you want to know it the way
(offensive coordinator Greg) Roman does," Manuel said.
Head coach Rex Ryan said he was pleased with what he saw during the
just-completed voluntary three-day mini-camp.
"I'd rather have, in a perfect world, 'this is our guy,' but I'm
excited about the competition," Ryan said. "You don't know how it's
going to shake out. There's not anybody who knows how it's going to
shake out. We're going to give them a platform that will showcase
what they can all do, and let's see what happens."

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is giddy about what his team
accomplished in the draft, especially their ability to continue a

led by cornerback Byron Jones and defensive end Randy Gregory in the
first and second rounds respectively.

"When you look at the positions and everything on the defense I
couldn't have asked for more in this draft," Jones said.

The Atlanta Falcons waived tight end Kyle Miller.
Miller was on the Falcons' practice squad last season. He originally
entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie signed by the Jacksonville
Jaguars in 2011. He has also spent time with the Colts and Dolphins.
