Ready to do Moore

‘”When we started he probably didn’t figure into the 53 when he started out,” Nix said. “But he had some good preseason games and did a lot of good things in practice. He’s got ability. He’s a good pass rusher, that’s what he does best. The reason we kept is for this, in case he had to step in and play. We expect him to play good.”‘

Anderson’s injury means Moore gets his chance with Bills

‘”I went out there and grinded throughout that whole camp and during the offseason. It started in OTAs,” Moore said. “I had to get coach to trust me with the new defense and stuff like that. I had Bob [Sanders, as a position coach] last year, got Giff [Smith] this year. I went through a lot being the odd man out coming into camp with Shawne Merriman and some other guys.’

Cards’ defense presents challenge

‘The Cardinals have also rushed the passer well, recording 17 sacks. They run a base 3-4 scheme under defensive coordinator Ray Horton, in which they send pressure from all different angles. Of those 17 sacks, just two have come from a lineman, defensive end Calais Campbell, and another two from blitzing safeties. Their play-making linebackers have the rest.’

‘”I hate to use a drastic word, but we’re depleted there. That was one of the strengths we felt like going into the season. … We’ll have to mix and match and do the best we can.”‘

‘Now to the big picture for the Bills. We might want to put this one in the must win column when it comes to their hopes of making the playoffs. I’m not expecting the Bills to win at Houston(November 4) or New England(November 11) so they need to win Sunday and next week at home over Tennessee to be 4-5 going into the supposed soft portion of the schedule.’

Bills’ Dareus adjusting to life under NFL microscope

‘”It was emotions,” Dareus said. “People don’t want to lose. I’m not from a losing program. I do not want to lose, I hate losing. Emotions flare sometimes. But at the same time, it’s a game. We’re going to go out here and play our butts off. We’re trying to win, and do the best we can for the team, the fans. We’re gonna go out there and bust our butts every time.”‘
