Two Bills Drive

‘LB Marlo Perry #58 – 1994-99: The hard-hitting LB and special teamer was a Bills’ third round draft choice in 1994 out of Jackson State. He played 60 games with the Bills before an injury ended his pro football career in 1999. He and his wife Sabrina still live in the Buffalo area and are active in the community.’

‘”Bruce is getting up there a bit (in age), he doesn’t play every down like he used to, but he can still bring it when he comes. He’s still got great explosiveness off the ball and he’s still got all the crafty moves that he’s always had.”‘

‘”You can tell he’s got the talent,” fullback Sam Gash said. “It’s just going to take him some time to get used to playing again.”‘

‘If they don’t wake up and start playing that way soon, they might be playing for a new head coach. Hey, maybe they could bring in a real tough guy, like Arnold Schwarzenegger.’

‘”But it’s nothing really, really serious,” said Moulds, who had the same injury in college. “I just think it needs a little bit of rest and a little ice. It’s helped me out a lot. It’s gotten a lot stronger, so I feel pretty confident.”‘

‘The bottom line: The Bills need to do more with what they have.’

‘McGahee has been on the reserve/non-football injury list since the beginning of the season, and couldn’t begin practicing until the start of Week 7. Now that he has started, the Bills have up to 21 days to decide whether to elevate him to the 53-man roster. If he’s not ready within that window, he must sit out the rest of the season, though that seems unlikely.’

‘Moulds is likely to be a game-time decision. How will he know he can play? “When I’m able to get the deep ball,” he said.’

‘”Sure it is,” answered Williams when asked if it was embarrassing for a team that was touted as an early AFC contender to now be the most unproductive team in the league.’

‘Another starter, defensive tackle Jermaine Haley, said he is considering undergoing surgery on his injured thumb. The procedure would sideline him three to four weeks, he said. The Redskins also will be without cornerback Fred Smoot, who has a fractured sternum, and almost certainly will be without tailback Trung Canidate for Sunday’s game at Buffalo. But with a bye week after the Bills game, club officials hope both will be able to play Nov. 2 at Dallas.’

‘Redskins officials have received league approval to stop Sunday’s game for a brief ceremony if Bruce Smith breaks Reggie White’s NFL career sacks record. The veteran defensive end needs two sacks to break the record.’

‘Through six games, Ramsey remains the NFL’s most sacked passer (21 times). And he has been hit on countless other occasions and had his left (non-throwing) shoulder sprained twice.’

‘Guard Randy Thomas, defensive end Bruce Smith and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter sat out practice yesterday. All three veterans routinely have been taking days off to rest nagging injuries. The absence of Thomas and Fiore on the offensive line left the Redskins with a first-team guard duo of rookie Derrick Dockery and seldom-used Lennie Friedman. Spurrier said Friedman likely will see some playing time Sunday.’

‘Against Buffalo on Sunday that could mean more of a pass-rushing role. Which is just fine with Arrington, who has 2 1/2 sacks after getting 11 1/2 a year ago. Last year, he lined up often as a left end, much to his chagrin. This year he’s done that only a couple times.’

‘”It’s going to be nice to see them,” Smith said Wednesday. “I never had an opportunity to see the fans and say goodbye, so it will be nice to go back.”‘
