PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Out of shape and preparing to serve a four-game suspension, Buffalo Bills running back Karlos Williams is apologetic when bluntly assessing the fix hes put himself in.Im very disappointed in myself. I put the organization, my teammates, my family in a very bad situation, he said, upon reporting for the start of training camp this weekend.I only can learn from my mistakes this offseason and get ready to get back in shape, get ready to play football, and only can move forward.Theres no point looking back on an offseason that went from bad to worse for Williams, who made a significant contribution to Buffalos NFL-leading rushing attack as a rookie last season.You cant change what happened, he said. All you can do is work, work, work and get ready to play football.He has plenty of time to get into shape. Aside from the suspension, Williams isnt cleared for practice and instead is taking part in conditioning drills while opening camp on the active/non-football illness list.The trouble began in June, when he raised concerns by showing up overweight for a three-day mandatory minicamp. Williams blamed the added bulk on being empathetic to his fiance and not wanting her to snack alone during her pregnancy.Though it was never made clear how overweight Williams was, coach Rex Ryan joked the player might be a candidate for Lap-Band surgery.No one was laughing a few weeks later, when the NFL announced Williams four-game suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy.The 23-year-old Williams chalked it up to being a young kid, and just making bad decisions, not thinking things through.His stumbles happened as quickly as his ascension last year.Williams was considered a project when Buffalo drafted him in the fifth round out of Florida State. At 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, he had the combination of size and speed to play running back. What he lacked was experience at the position after making the switch from safety during the 2013 season.Williams immediately dispelled any questions by becoming the second NFL player to score touchdowns in his first six games -- and at a time when starter LeSean McCoy was hampered by a hamstring injury.With a powerful, straight-ahead running style, Williams scored three TDs rushing and another receiving in his first four games before missing three with a concussion.He then returned to score two more rushing and another receiving in his next two games, and finished with 517 yards rushing, 96 receiving and nine touchdowns (seven rushing and two receiving) in 11 games.The question now is what role Williams will have once hes eligible to return in Week 5.General manager Doug Whaley provided no guarantees.Hes a young guy and hes got to understand that everybody that comes into this building or into camp is competing for playing time and cap space, Whaley said. Hes behind the 8-ball right now. And I think hes more disappointed than we are.The Bills have depth at running back, starting with Mike Gillislee, who played a complementary role in closing last season. Buffalo also re-signed Boom Herron and added James Wilder Jr., the son of former Buccaneers fullback James Wilder.Then theres fifth-round pick Jonathan Williams, who faces potential discipline after being arrested in Arkansas on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated two weeks ago.Karlos Williams first concern is getting back on the field.I can control me, and all I can control right now is being in shape, Williams said. Its all about showing people, showing my family, showing my friends, the ownership, my coaches, my teammates and definitely earning my teammates trust back.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale Jerseys From China .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference.

Wholesale Jerseys Authenitc . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.GENEVA -- The fastest goal in World Cup history capped a night of 6-0 routs and the Netherlands further fall in European qualifying on Monday.Seven seconds ticked by when Belgium forward Christian Bentekes shot finished his surging run through the Gibraltar defense which kicked off but coughed up the ball.Benteke beat the 8.3 seconds that FIFA timed Davide Gaultieri taking to score for San Marino against England in 1993 and set the tone for the visiting Belgians 6-0 win.Portugal also won 6-0 but needed only a single, excellent goal from Cristiano Ronaldo to dominate the Faeroe Islands.Instead, 20-year-old Andre Silva stepped up with a first-half hat-trick in just his fourth international match -- perhaps finally pairing Ronaldo with a true penalty-area predator for the freshly crowned European champion.Dutch decline has been steep since it followed runner-up and third-place finishes at the last two World Cups with failure to qualify for an expanded Euro 2016.A 1-0 loss at home to France was the latest setback, sealed by Paul Pogbas powerful shot from 30 meters (yards) in the first half.Belgium and France top their groups, though Portugal trails Switzerland which won its third straight qualifier, 2-1 at lowly Andorra.Only the nine European group winners advance directly to play in Russia and four runners-up will qualify through a playoff round.Here is what happened on Monday:----GROUP AFrance lived up to its billing as favorite in the group thanks to Pogbas goal and a late save by Hugo Lloris.Sweden continued to show it can play without retired superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic, going level with France on seven points by beating Bulgaria 3-0.The Dutch have four points and, despite drawing 1-1 in Sweden last month, are already playing catch up.While Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg looked like he could have kept out Pogbas goal, his second-half saves kept his team in the game.Maarten knows that he would usually save that (Pogba shot) with one hand in training, Netherlands coach Danny Blind said.Injured Dutch stars Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben did not start and Quincy Promes limped off just 16 minutes in.France coach Didier Deschamps said Pogba was decisive ... not just because of his goal, but also by winning the ball in midfield and distributing well.Also, Bellarus took the lead in the 80th and Luxembourg equalized five minutes later in a 1-1 draw.dddddddddddd----GROUP BPortugals second 6-0 win inside four days was not enough to top the group but points to a bright future.Andre Silva, the Porto prospect, scored in the 12th, 22nd and 37th minutes before Ronaldo added a fourth midway through the second half in a comfortable visit to the North Atlantic. Goals from Joao Moutinho and Joao Cancelo in stoppage time completed the drubbing.Silva has replaced Eder, the Euro 2016 final scorer against France, and looks there to stay, now with four goals in four games to complement Ronaldos career tally of 66 for Portugal.Ronaldos goal Monday was a rising left-foot shot from the edge of the penalty area.Switzerland was less impressive in edging to a 2-1 win over Andorra which had not scored in World Cup qualifying since September 2009.It was worth waiting for, after Fabian Schaers 19th-minute penalty and Admir Mehmedis 77th-minute header put the visitors in control. Then Alex Martinez fired in a shot from distance in the 90th.Switzerland has nine points, three points clear of Portugal. Hungary is third, with four points, after winning 2-0 in Latvia.----GROUP HBelgium needed only a World Cup-record seven seconds to prove the gap between No. 2 in the FIFA rankings and Gibraltar, which is dead last.Two lazy backward passes into the game, Benteke stole the ball, cut through the defense and made history.Benteke scored two more, one a wonderful backheel, to lead Belgium to match its biggest away victory. The other scorers were Mertens, Eden Hazard and Axel Witsel against a team playing its first World Cup qualifying campaign after gaining FIFA membership in May.Belgium has a perfect nine points atop the group. Greece is the main challenger after it won 2-0 at Estonia to stay perfect through three matches. Also, Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Cyprus 2-0.It was further evidence that the Red Devils, a dispirited team after an earlier-than-expected quarterfinal exit from Euro 2016, have found their groove under new coach Roberto Martinez.It is a terrific moment for Belgian football, Martinez said. It showed the focus we had. ' ' '
