‘"Any kind of crease he can get, he’s going to take advantage of you," Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus said about Johnson. "He’s a lot like [Kansas City’s] Jamaal Charles and a lot of people say they have similar running styles — very slender but can really go."’

‘Wilson has already missed two games, and coach Chan Gailey says he’s getting “less optimistic” about the starter’s status against the Titans. Gailey says kicker Rian Lindell will not play Sunday in order to get an additional week of rest to allow his right shoulder injury to heel.’

‘”Will the team buy these tickets; will the team make that up?” Boose asked. “No, we’re looking at the standpoint that, that’s done in some markets, but in this market our business model really calls for us to be sold out,” said Brandon.’

‘”He made some plays,” says Bills Head Coach Chan Gailey. “He was a factor in the game, and he’s a big target out there. I am anxious to see how he can continue to improve.”‘
