‘Behind Rogers, the other three healthy options on the roster at cornerback are rookie undrafted free agent Nickell Robey and the recently signed Brandon Burton and Johnny Adams. The Bills have used the 5-foot-8 Robey on the outside some, but he’s played most of his snaps as the slot cornerback.’

‘The Jets pounded them between the tackles in the running game and confused them with some Wildcat plays, and wide receivers Santonio Holmes and Stephen Hill each burned cornerback Justin Rogers deep for a long touchdown. With Byrd and Gilmore sidelined, Buffalo’s secondary was a complete mess. If Rogers has to start against the Ravens, count on them attacking him, too.’

‘”There’s only one Kent Hull, and even if I was in my bed, I’d make it out of my bed to make it here cause he was my best friend,” Kelly said.’

‘He had made the Bills opening-week roster before being cut on Sept. 10, when the team promoted cornerback Johnny Adams from the practice squad.’

‘Ross was released as the result of a numbers crunch when cornerback Johnny Adams was promoted from the practice squad. He spent the offseason with the team and has been active for one NFL game in his three seasons since graduating from East Carolina. Ross spent parts of both 2011 and 2012 shifting between the Bills practice squad and active roster.’

‘It wasn’t a pretty day if you’re a fan of the team, and some of the grades from the game reflect exactly that. Before we turn the page and advance to preparations for the upcoming contest against the Baltimore Ravens, first is a look at how each individual that took an offensive or defensive snap fared during Week Three.’

‘This package is what really seemed to fluster Manuel. The Jets played man coverage on the Bills receivers with one safety over the top. They didn’t do it on every play, but they did have plenty of success with it.’

‘”I’m telling you he’s really showing out as a rookie,” said veteran LB Manny Lawson. “He’s really stepped up and is playing a major role in our defense especially as the ‘mike’ linebacker. That’s where calls are made and where we get our plays from. When you have a guy in general that’s going out there every week making big plays like he has that speaks volumes. More importantly it gets your defense going.”‘

‘Ojomo (6’4″ 270) has appeared in one career NFL game with the New York Giants in 2012, the team he signed with after going undrafted last year.’
