"That Patriots front office never misses a trick. New England signed ex-Buffalo receiver/return man Jonathan Smith at the end of the preseason, just a week before the Pats were to open up against the Bills. New England cut receiver Bam Childress, who had a pretty decent camp, to make room for Smith, and added Childress to the practice squad.
After debriefing Smith all week about the Bills and their new coaching staff's playbook, New England released him last Saturday night, hours before the Buffalo game. Not coincidentally, the Patriots elevated Childress from the practice squad and he was one of three receivers active against the Bills. Predictably, Buffalo's coaches and players weren't thrilled with New England's rather blatant "scouting'' maneuver."
