'“I thought that was going to be a real strength of our team–the play of our corners,” said Ryan, after both Ronald Darby and Stephon Gilmore were among the league leaders in pass breakups last season. “We have to step it up, these last seven weeks, we have to step it up and make that a true fact.'

'"Until we start making people pay down the field," Ryan said, "we're going to keep getting those."'

'“There’s a ton of familiarity with Ryan and I expect him to play very well and step into those shoes,” left guard Richie Incognito said. “I’m excited to watch him play. Ryan’s a really good guy, good teammate, and he’s s hard-working guy. So you like to see guys like that get an opportunity.”'

'"That's about as true as me wearing a diamond mouthpiece in Week One last year," Taylor said Wednesday, referencing a report last season that he angrily denied. "I don't know where there report is coming from. I haven't had a groin issue."'

'Go back to the end of the third quarter in Miami, if you can bear it. The Bills were 17-6 and seemingly on their way to a 5-2 record. Then Jay Ajayi scored with 18 seconds left in the period and the Dolphins went on to a 28-25 victory. The Bills and the defense have yet to recover.'

'I have never said sacks are an indicator of wins and losses. Sacks, to me, a lot of it may be an indication of pressure but I’d much rather be this way than last year.'

'Now, with Mills finally being exposed, we know why the Bills have hung onto Henderson through all of the turbulence of his young career. As he gets closer to having the necessary girth to play tackle in the NFL, he just might be in line to regain his No. 1 spot at tackle.'

'“Really? That’s terrible, that’s what you can’t do,” said safety Corey Graham, who was shocked when he was told of the seven balls of 50 yards or more. “That’s crazy. This league is pretty simple as a defensive back – keep the ball in front of you and you’ll be OK. We know, you’ll be the hero, or you’ll be the villain. You’re one inch away from a play, you might make it, and the next time you don’t make it and you’re on Sports Center. It just comes with the position.”'

'"I'm definitely to the point where I know I can go," Harvin said. "I don't know how many years or how long or what not, but I definitely think I have a lot in my tank. Just coming out here now has answered that question for myself. I'm feeling good and my legs feel amazing. It should be nothing but going up from here on out."

'The Bills-Bengals will be available on satellite via DirecTV channel 709.'

'We're going to give everybody an opportunity, well not everybody, but we're going to give those two opportunities, we're going to give (Kevon) Seymour opportunities at the nickel, we're going to give different players opportunity at safety because we have to play better. There's no ifs, ands or buts about it. We have to play better, get more production at the backend than we're getting.'

'If Ryan doesn't start winning, he won't have too many friends left in Western New York. The public support he built up when he was drinking beers with Jim Kelly and painting the Buffalo Bills logo on his truck has already started to wane. He's 12-13 through 25 games as a head coach in Buffalo. His defense has shown marginal improvement in 2016 but has been a disappointment overall.'

'"Tyrod Taylor coming off of a bye," Marks said. "He's been dealing with a groin issue. Not really heavily reported out of Buffalo, but he has. I know A-Lynn, who is the offensive coordinator."'

'“(Green) is right there at the top of the list. I think he’s the best receiver we’ve faced all season,” Ryan said.'
