‘He came back and had 453 yards and a score in 2012 before suffering a shoulder fracture this preseason, which ultimately led to his release in KC. Moeaki joins college teammate and fellow tight end Scott Chandler in Buffalo.’

‘The Georgia Tech product has carried the ball 361 times for 1,535 yards and 10 touchdowns in 85 career games with Dallas, Washington and Buffalo. He had played for the Bills since the 2011 season.’

‘”I’m going to look at everything,” Brandon said. “I’ll leave it at that.”‘

‘Choice’s role was mainly as a third-down back behind Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller.’

‘For the 52 players that made up the active roster during Wednesday’s practice, all but one of them were on the field and participating in full. Only defensive lineman Kyle Williams, who normally gets Wednesdays off to rest his Achilles after a Sunday game, was listed as a non-participant throughout the day.’

‘At 4-8, it would be prudent for the Bills to see what they have on the roster in the setting of regular season games. This move is likely to get undrafted free agent rookie Ronnie Wingo some time on the field so that way the Bills can evaluate whether or not he fills a potential need this off-season. Choice and the Bills were destined for a breakup upon signing only a one-year deal, so if the sizable Wingo (6-foot-3, 231 pounds) can play well, that may cancel the need for the Bills to select a young running back in the later portions of the 2014 draft.’

‘Manuel played well enough to win the game, particularly if you consider the final drives of regulation and overtime. However, he was a part of an offensive attack that did very little in the second half of the game. Take a trip back with me….let’s trace where the Bills went wrong.’

‘Moeaki (6-3, 252) was a highly touted prospect out of Iowa and was a third-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2010 draft. Injuries however, have largely compromised his career.’

‘The move is likely designed to afford rookie running back Ronnie Wingo an opportunity to serve in the reserve role that Choice had previously occupied.’

‘it was great, but like I said going in to the game, each week is different. We had a great game against Kansas City and then fell off the tail end a little bit. Just had another good running day, but this team is going to be ready and you can take some good away from the tape and see what you’ve done well, but we just have to take what they give us.’
