Virtually anywhere you go, you can stay on top of what’s happening with the Bills. The Buffalo Bills and Verizon Wireless have teamed up to bring you the latest news and information directly from the team. When the news is hot, you get it first.

‘"We still have people fighting for some jobs and we have some holes to fill so it’s a big game, and next week is a big game, too," said special teams coach Danny Smith. "We want to solidify our coverage and return units. We’ll continue to play several people at the positions to give them a chance to win a job."’

‘"Billy is going to be all around the ball, he’s going to be tough and physical, that’s how he plays," said Fletcher. "He’s gonna hit me, he’s gonna hit his teammates, he’s gonna hit the opponents. He’s a physical player and I’m glad to have him as a part of our defense."’

‘Team still lacks depth on defense and has big holes in the front seven. The offense shows promise, though, particularly if Bledsoe returns to Pro Bowl form.’

‘Playoff outlook: Fair. While there is some talent on defense, too many holes remain to be a playoff-caliber squad.’

‘Someone went for a joyride across the outdoor practice field at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

‘It will probably be the best offense since the peak of the Jim Kelly Era. Yes–Drew’s the perfect fit.’

Josh Reed, Bills (36th overall): He was viewed as the most-polished of all the receivers in the draft, and he has lived up to that. Reed might not have the outstanding speed of some of the others in this class, but he makes up for it with his ability to separate from defensive backs with his great route running. The Bills love this kid and he should be the No. 3 receiver behind Eric Moulds and Peerless Price. Reed has made several nice plays in the preseason. Doesn’t look the part because he is a former running back with a thick body, but he understands the position.
