‘”And I’ll tell you this,” Wannstedt continued, “Buffalo is going to be fine with Chan as head coach. I’m certain they’ll be solid offensively because they WILL run the ball effectively. His problem will be on defense because they’re going from a 4-3 to a 3-4 (alignment) and that changes the type of personnel needed in the front seven. But, in my mind, they’ve got the right guy as head coach.”‘

‘That’s not saying his skills weren’t sufficient at linebacker. While he’s only started one career game, Corto provided a viable option in a backup role, racking up 32 career tackles. One role that won’t change is the one on special teams for new coordinator Bruce DeHaven, which is exactly where he projects to find himself in the coming season.’

‘When you look at the 6-foot-3, 216-pounder, he would appear to have "future star" written all over him. He seems to move fluidly, with speed and explosion – that’s what coach Chan Gailey said he had – and he appears to catch the ball just fine.’

‘"That was great," Harvey said after Saturday’s minicamp practice. "You talk about something that boosts your spirits? That boosted my spirits. I played the 3-4 in college for three years, so I’m completely familiar with the techniques. Playing with leverage is one thing I do well, and I’m big so it plays to my size."’

‘"It was a guy from the Redskins," Moats said. "He asked me, "Should we draft you and you’re sitting around in a room and Brian Orakpo comes to you and says, "You’re in my seat.’ Are you going to get up and move or are you going to fight him for the chair?”

‘”It’s definitely unbelievable,” he said after the day’s second practice. “When I first got here and tried on my helmet and looked at the Bills logo, you see it on TV all the time and now you have it on, it’s definitely a crazy experience.”‘
