‘Gary Horton of Scouts Inc., rates Buffalo’s new defensive line the No. 1 “best team fix” in free agency: “If you want to see a shocking transformation of a weak unit into a dominating unit, look no further than Buffalo. … This has a chance to be among the most dominating fronts in 2012, after being the weakest unit on this team in 2011. This will be a fun group to watch in the future.”‘

‘”You hope that by the time you get everybody on the field, and everybody healthy – and you get Kyle Williams and Marcell and Mario and the other people that will be playing, whether it’s Mark (Anderson) or whoever it is on the other side – you hope that you’ve got a viable pass rush with four people that makes our football team better,” Gailey said.’

‘”Fred and I have visited a couple of times,” Nix said. “Fred has been vocal some about wanting a new deal and that kind of thing so finally I called him in and we talked twice. I told him we’re going to offer you an extension. We had priorities with guys that were unrestricted that we didn’t want to lose. I told him when we get through it we’ll at least do it before training camp. That way there’s no chance of him getting hurt. He’ll be healthy and he’ll have an extension before he goes to camp. We’ll be as straight as we can with him.”‘

‘”We’ve been talking to him all along. But I don’t know what they’re looking for right now,” the coach said.’
