‘I’ve said pretty much all I’m going to say about that,” Jauron said Wednesday during a conference call at Gillette Stadium, regarding the firing of Turk Schonert. “And obviously, we have the transcripts of the press conference that was held. So if you don’t have them … you can certainly call us and we’ll send them to you.”‘

‘Now there have been coaching changes in Buffalo as well. Jauron’s moves are a sign he’s trying to prevent the coaching changes from reaching the top.’

‘”Tell Bill (Belichick) I said hello.”‘

‘”It just gets you a little winded,” he said. “For myself, I haven’t really practiced much the last few preseason games, so I’m still trying to get myself into shape and that’s coming around.”‘

‘6-10.’

‘"Terrence is a tough guy," Bills defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said. "He is not a afraid of contact. I know a lot of cornerbacks will come and tell you, "Hey, I’m good.’ Terrence is not like that. He’d rather show you how good he is, and he does."’

‘"I try to send a nice remark back," Whitner said, "because I know it’s frustration. I know how long the drought is, and how much people love the Bills. With love, it’s a thin line."’

‘The cable network announced today that it has picked up the second season option for Owens’ reality show – whether he stays with the Bills or not.’

‘Turk Schonert should have been fired at the end of last season. He either did not know what he was doing or could not get in sync with his boss or both. But they spend those countless hours on the field and in the classroom acting as if they are developing a plan to combat our dependence on foreign oil. Then in the end, a week and a half from the first thing that really matters, all that is Turk gets kicked to the curb and they drop it in the lap of Alex Van Pelt. I actually think Van Pelt is going to be very good at this job. But for this year? Maybe he is the guy who doesn’t need all those practices and preseason games as a play caller to get ready.’

‘”This is going to be a little bit of a transition for us,” Owens said. “We have to take accountability, we have to go out there and jell with one another and go out there and play.”‘

‘"I’m really very happy with where it’s at," Edwards said. "You can only let it be a distraction if you let it negatively affect you. And I don’t think we have guys on this team that are going to let it negatively affect them."’

‘Former Buffalo Bill Eric Moulds has been arrested for 2nd degree harassment, a violation.’

‘Q: Will you continue to use the no-huddle, or are you considering scrapping it?

DJ: No, we’re not considering scrapping it. So, yeah, you’ll definitely see us in the no-huddle.’

‘Q: Do you like the no-huddle approach?

TO: No, not really. But I got to deal with it. [Laughs] No, it’s all right. It just gets you a little winded. For myself, I haven’t really practiced much the last few pre-season games so I’m still trying to get myself into shape and that’s coming around. We’re doing some things in the offense that will help me get in shape a little bit faster than I need to, especially with the upcoming Monday night game. You know, that’s part of our offense and we’re looking forward to it. I’ve gotten a taste of it since the OTA’s and I know what to expect. That’s sometimes a plus for the offense especially if we can kind of wear guys down and keep them on the field and don’t allow them to make substitutions, but you know, it’s something we’re looking forward to and we’re going to try it out.’
