‘The Bills aren’t doing their backs any favors with this three-man committee. They need to move someone by the Oct. 19 trade deadline. Lynch would be the logical choice, considering his history of off-field trouble. But it’s hard to believe there’s no team interested in Jackson, who is a better running back than Lynch and has been a consistent 4.5-yard back during his NFL career.’

‘Wrotto played three years at defensive tackle for the Yellow Jackets before moving to right tackle as a senior. His line coach that year was Joe D’Alessandris, the Bills’ current offensive line coach.’

‘”It’s not about adjusting to the 3-4,” Whitner said. “It’s about beating the man across from you. I’ll tell you right now they’re going to run the football on us all year. We gave up 200 (rushing yards) last week (at New England). I don’t know how much we gave up today (273 yards). But it’s on us to do. Stop the run. We can’t win a football game if we don’t stop the run, if we don’t get turnovers.”‘

‘Defensive coordinator George Edwards has no answers for his run defense which is simply abhorrent. His main problem is lack of talent in the front seven, but he hasn’t been able to find a way to get his schemes to work. On offense, Gailey is hamstrung by a porous offensive line, terrible quarterbacking, and no viable receivers — and yes, right now that includes Lee Evans. Gailey was furious after the game, and perhaps that’s a good thing. He wasn’t afraid to cut Trent Edwards, and maybe some other dead weight will be sent packing.’

‘Additionally, linebacker Arthur Moats will miss the next 2-to-3 weeks with an elbow injury sustained on Sunday.’

‘In four games, Jackson has just 20 carries for 87 yards. “You always want to be out there helping as much as possible, especially when things aren’t going the way you want them to go,” he said. “It’s definitely tough. I’m just trying to bide my time right now and hopefully things will shake out where I can get on the field more. I’ve got my fingers crossed.”‘
