‘”(He’s a) strong-armed guy and can throw it down the field. He seems like he has good presence, good leadership in the huddle. The team rallies around him and that kind of thing. We’ll be ready for everybody, whoever they put in there at quarterback, running back or wherever else and we’ll have to prepare for everybody and whatever decisions they make, they make. We’ll prepare for all of them.”‘

‘Meanwhile, it appears that Roscoe Parrish has replaced Steve Johnson as the team’s No. 2 receiver for this week when the team uses two-wide sets. When it goes three-wide, Parrish will move into the slot and Johnson will play outside opposite Lee Evans. Johnson had two drops against Green Bay last week.’

‘So just how bad are things offensively for the Bills? In 23 possessions so far, 12 series have ended in punts and they’ve had nine series end three-and-out. Buffalo hasn’t had a QB who started and finished the game post a 100 or better rating in 24 consecutive games.’
