‘”He seemed to be doing alright at the time,” said Hamdan who planned to visit Edwards Wednesday afternoon. “I wouldn’t say there’s anything that’s bothering him. I think it’s just a day-to-day process where he’s going through the motions trying to do all the regular things that he would regularly do in whatever capacity he can do them.”‘

‘In just his second year, Edwards is having a Pro Bowl-caliber campaign. In four fourth quarters this season, he has completed 27 of 35 passes (77.1 percent) for 360 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. The Bills won all four of those contests. Who said John Elway was the only clutch quarterback to come out of Stanford?’

‘Many of the things they didn’t do well such as reacting sluggishly are fixable, not underlying, and the task will be easier not only because they have extra time between games but because they’ve already demonstrated they can be good tacklers.’

‘”I think I’m getting to a point where I feel like I’m close,” Schobel said. “I know what I need to do. I thought I knew what I needed to do, and it wasn’t right. So I changed up my alignment. It’s all about angles when you’re rushing the passer. I think I was too wide lately, so I’ll tighten down and that helps me get on them quicker.”‘

‘”He was a little woozy but his hair was perfect,” tackle Langston Walker said of his conversation with Edwards. “That’s one thing. If Trent’s hair was off, I’d be worried. But his hair was on point.”‘

‘”I’ve been there, I’ve been in those shoes,” the Bills’ offensive coordinator said of being the backup quarterback and having to jump into a game with very little preparation time when the starter is sidelined by an injury. “That’s his job; it was my job.”‘
