‘It’s been quite a nice start for the Bills second-round pick. Cordy Glenn has stepped right in to the left tackle position and has shown the ability to stick with whoever his assignment may be.’

‘Nix would not confirm if Powell would be replacing Moorman in handling the holding duties on field goal attempts. He also said the money owed to Moorman for the season ($1.675 million total) in the last year of his contract did not factor in to the decision. Nix also said that Moorman did not ask for the release.’

‘The throwback jerseys are white with red and blue stripes, and have blue lettering with red outlining. The jersey, which players will wear December 9th vs. the St. Louis Rams, are modeled after the uniform the team wore during their 1965 AFL Championship season.’

‘The company held a contest using the hashtag #AtTheRalph on Twitter, challenging their followers to explain why they deserve a chance for the special tour at Ralph Wilson Stadium given by Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson.’

‘A team captain for each of the last seven seasons, Moorman, a two-time Pro Bowl punter saw his career with the Bills come to a close Tuesday two days after appearing in his 179th career game at Cleveland, good for sixth most in franchise history.’

‘It goes back to trying to upgrade at the position and looking down the road. That is basically it. I would not get into specifics, but with us we evaluate everything every day, especially every week after a game. We do that and we look at things and say ‘Well, we can get better here.’ That is what we try to do.’

‘They say early Sunday morning Mis was arrested at the Holiday Inn Express downtown for groping the chest of a 64-year-old female hotel clerk.’

‘"Wish we could do it every week," defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. "We had guys that stepped up in big parts of the game. Everybody along the front made some plays. We did a great job in the run game, so we’re pretty happy with how things went. That’s what we have the guys to do. Everybody can make plays at any point in the game. When you’ve got guys all along the front who, when they get one-on-one , they have the chance to win and can win."’

‘Chan Gailey and the offensive staff did a nice job being able to adjust to the loss of C.J. Spiller, who was obviously a major focus of the game plan. The Bills plugged Tashard Choice into the offense, and for the most part, the Bills moved the ball. On defense, Dave Wannstedt dialed up the pressure with some blitzes, and really focused on shutting down Trent Richardson, and it worked very well.’

‘"Been here before, ain’t my first rodeo," Choice said. "That’s something you’ve got to do. You take pride in that. You don’t want to be the player they say, ‘Oh, he ain’t good enough. The offense is stumbling because they don’t have anybody to keep producing at that position.’ That running back position, especially on this team, you’ve got to produce."’

‘”We know things are not going to be right all the time,” said Johnson. “As a professional, you just have to keep on working.”‘

‘Now, don’t be surprised if Gailey adds yet another running back until either Freddie, C.J. or both return.’

‘"From the workout and the rehab [Monday] morning, it went extremely well. It looks like he’s going to practice Wednesday and we’ll see how he feels during the course of the week," coach Chan Gailey said. "I’m very optimistic."’
