‘Marcus Easley got hurt playing special teams. Gailey said, “Marcus has a hamstring, he’ll definitely be out this week and we’ll see if we can get him back for the last game or not.”‘

‘We evaluate everything at the end of the season. I try not to vary too much from the course during the season itself. I think the players get into a habit of the certain ways that you prepare. It has been successful in the past, so I tend not to evaluate during the season but make those kinds of changes during the offseason if need be.’

‘I know we are putting in the work. I know the coaches in terms of the way they are grinding right now with the game plan and the way the players are in here watching film on Tuesday. Then the way practice has gone Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. For whatever reason it has not translated, but it is not because of a lack of effort. It is not because of a lack of caring and passion. That is all there. Unfortunately, it has not been going the way we want it to and as an offense you look at that last game, it is just the turnovers in the second half that kind of kill us. Trying to sometimes do too much or just things that we cannot have that make a loss even worse.’

‘The Seahawks averaged 8.4 yards per carry against Buffalo and they did much of their damage out of their read-option running attack. Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson had a record of good production out of the option play going into the Buffalo game, and the Bills defenders say they practiced against that look during the week.’

‘He was injured on a kickoff coverage play for the Bills with under a minute remaining in the first quarter when he got caught at the bottom of the pile. Moats was carted off the field in the first half. His left ankle was placed in an immobilizer cast on the team’s return trip to Buffalo from Toronto.’

‘””I tip my hat to the offensive line and the guys that have been doing the downfield blocking,” Spiller said. “I wish it would’ve come in a better form in a win. It would’ve this day a whole lot better, but it didn’t. It’s just one of those milestones I can just cross off.”‘
