'“He’s what we were hoping that we got,” Buffalo’s first-year coach said. “This is a guy that’s smart, so he can manage the game. But he’s way more than that."'

'“Whether you’re a player or coach, you always have a lot of people that have allowed you to be in this position,” Roman said. “I get asked a lot, ‘who are your influences? Who did you learn from?’ … For a lot of players and coaches over the years, including myself, he was able to mentor and really teach them a lot.”'

'Lal gave him the chance in Buffalo and it's working out. Harvin calls him the best position coach he's ever had, adding it's "not even close."'

'“You try to get your hands up and knock balls down and you do what we’ve been doing in the secondary picking off passes," Dunbar said. "Our DB’s and our coaches do a great job of showing our guys what they’re going to get so they can jump routes."'

'Dixon has eight carries for 0 yards this season. You don’t need a slide rule to know that’s dreadful. I suspect he’s still bothered by the calf injury that sidelined him for three weeks of training camp. He was still fighting Fred Jackson and Bryce Brown for a roster spot. So Boobie might have come back early out of desperation, though he’s a valued special teams player.'

'“I felt pretty good,” Urbik said. “I haven’t played right guard in 20 months or something like that, so the first couple reps it was getting the footwork back, but other than that, it felt pretty good being back out there.”'

'“Ralph loved the people of Buffalo and Western New York – and football. Ralph cared about Roswell Park, and I know if Ralph were here today, he would be so proud,” she said.'

'"It’s hard to take out two Pro Bowl players," Ryan said, forgetting that while Hughes has played to a Pro Bowl level the last two seasons, he has never actually been selected for the game. "We’re playing a great deal of snaps, but these guys are in great shape, they’re in great condition. Will we rotate guys in? Yeah, we will. But you’re obviously taking out a great player if you take out one of those two guys. So shoot, I like to see those guys out there. I feel better when those guys are on the field."'

'So, we may get a doozy . . . or we may not. But we will get something to whet our appetites for the big one to come later on. Remember, Saskatchewan (2-11) is at British Columbia (4-8) on Sunday night up there in the CFL.'

'"I'm glad, because if I bought the Buffalo Bills, I probably would not be doing what I'm doing now, which is much more important," Trump said.'

'"I am true to myself," Ryan said. "I think, regardless if it's a press conference, you know, whatever it is, that's just who I am. It's maybe not the way most people do things, but it's the way I need to."'

'"We don't want to say out, but yeah, you guys can figure it out," Ryan said. "They didn't practice the whole week and all that stuff, but there is that chance," he added before shaking his head.'

'Life just got a little simpler for the Buffalo Bills this weekend.'

'Though the Mariners’ drought is impressive, sports’ new leader is the Buffalo Bills.'
