[Bills] Bills WR Stevie Johnson To See More Playing Time

James Hardy was a highly touted second-round draft pick while Stevie Johnson was a virtual afterthought who was lucky to even be drafted. Although Josh Reed is expected to return Sunday, the coaching staff believes Johnson has earned the right to continue getting playing time. And based on what transpired Monday night, that playing time may come at Hardy’s expense. “[Johnson] has a good grasp overall of what we’re trying to do, so he gives us the best chance to go in there and make some plays,” said Bills receivers coach Tyke Tolbert. “Steve has kind of gotten ahead of him as far as the learning curve is concerned, so that’s why he got most of the reps in the game this past week. Although James got some reps as well, Steve got most of them because of his grasp of the offense.”
