‘”There is a little more bounce,” Jauron said. “I don’t know how else to define it. It’s not in terms of hours of preparation, or effort on the field at practice. There is just a difference in feeling when you’re inside that division.”‘

‘”I’ve been waiting for an opportunity and I get to run the gauntlet with Jamal and Ferguson last week and Jenkins this week and Wilfork in two weeks,” Preston said. “It’s definitely a good opportunity for me, just to go out and prove my worth. Jenkins is playing great football right now, so I’m going to have my hands full and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to just go out and battle.”‘

‘”It’s like going to a real, good boxing match. You know it’s going to be interesting,” Bills special teams coach Bobby April said. “This is just a tremendous challenge for us. But we’ll be up for it, and I know they will, too.”‘

‘However, you also can’t fault anyone for asking questions about Buffalo’s inconsistent pass rush, especially when you take into account that in their two defeats to Arizona and Miami, the Bills have given up 564 combined passing yards, and in 72 dropbacks by Kurt Warner of the Cardinals and Chad Pennington of the Dolphins, the Bills had all of one sack.’

‘”This is one of the toughest divisions, I think, to play in,” Buffalo quarterback Trent Edwards said. “I know a lot of people like to give the NFC East a lot of respect. I think the AFC East needs a lot of respect, too. We’re going to have our hands full this week, and again next week against the Patriots as well.”‘

‘”He’ll be going through a game where he’ll have one catch and we have him pretty much well-wrapped and all of a sudden hits you with a 70-yarder that breaks your back,” Jets safety Kerry Rhodes said.’
