.@EWood70: "When any of those 4 RBs come into the huddle, I have a ton of confidence in them"it

 

How crazy would it be to have 4 RBs on the field at the same time?

Backs are in the M the handoff is to... Freddy, I mean CJ, I mean Boobie, no it's play action to Bryce Brown...

Fox Color Analyst Daryl "Moose" Johnston joined The John Murphy Show to preview Sunday's game in Chicago. He talked about EJ Manuel, the defense under Jim Schwartz, and his relationship with Doug Marrone.

 

Hmm interesting take, but why BB?

 

I can't see a need to have four RBs and a FB active on Sunday.

No real surprise here:

@mikerodak

All 12 of our ESPN NFL experts are picking the Bears over the Bills this weekend: http://es.pn/IUlv0y

Like others have posted, I expect him to be out with the injury.

@ChrisBrownBills

RB Anthony Dixon (hamstring) & LB Brandon Spikes (knee) added to injury report Thursday. Marrone says Dixon injury "a concern." #Bills

 

@buffalobills

RB @Boobie24Dixon (hamstring) and LB Brandon Spikes (knee) were limited. Sammy Watkins (ribs) a full participant again.

 

Marrone on kick returners: "We have 3 guys who could start anywhere. If we can take a lick off (a player), we'll take a lick off"

 

Marrone on Kyle Orton: "He's really coming along well" Calm, controlled demeanor & a veteran presence.

 

Marrone: "Preston Brown (@PB_Number2) reminds me of Kiko last year." The Legend continues.

 

Marrone: "Nigel Bradham (@NigelBradham_13) is probably the most improved player on our football team ... We'll miss him this first game"

 

Marrone on @ChicagoBears RB Matt Forte: "I think he's outstanding ... What CAN'T he do?" Remembers him from Tulane while he was OC in NOLA.

 

Marrone: "@robertwoods has stepped it up quite a bit"

 

@MatthewFairburn

Lee Smith was out with a toe. Meeks, Dixon and Spikes were all limited. Gilmore and Watkins practiced in full.

CBS Sports Bills at Bears Game Preview: http://www.cbssports...0140907_BUF@CHI

Although the Chicago Bears possess all the makings of an elite offense, turning around their defensive incompetence appears to be a necessity if they're going to make a run at the playoffs.

 

After making several moves to fix those holes, the Bears hope to see major improvement on that side of the ball as they look to win their sixth straight home opener Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, who haven't been to the playoffs in 15 years.
