‘”Travis is as hard-nosed and tough as they come,” linebacker London Fletcher said. “I’m very happy to see him back to his form and close to 1,000 yards. I know how hard it was the last couple of years for him, with different injuries and things going on with him. But there is a lot of resilience in him and it just goes to show what type of player he is and the type of person he is to stay the course and not get down on himself.”‘

‘Rookie Keith Ellison continues to excel at weak outside linebacker in Buffalo’s “Tampa 2” scheme despite weighing in at 228 pounds soaking wet.’

‘Titans coach Jeff Fisher, who made it to a Super Bowl with Steve McNair and is developing another star QB in Vince Young, likes what he’s seen on tape of J.P. Losman. “He’s really, really improved,” said Fisher of Losman, who has 11 TD passes and just four interceptions in his past seven games. “Just watching the games and the clutch throws — the touchdown pass to Peerless Price in Houston, the throw on the boundary to beat the Jaguars, those kinds of throws are hard to make. What you’re seeing happen is him making those throws now on a consistent basis. He’s got a good cast around him. They’re protecting. He’s on his way. Believe me, he’s definitely on his way.”‘

‘All said and done, though, that might put him right out of Buffalo’s price range – especially if teams like Washington and Miami start negotiating.’

‘There is one thing Wilson isn’t talking about that is also a factor, and that is that there is a difference between revenue and profit.’

‘”No, that time will come, and when it does, that’s when I will approach it,” Clements said, adding he’s not ruled out the possibility of re-signing with Buffalo.’
