Mario Williams: ”The atmosphere is completely changed here”
‘There are times where I could not even tell you what position I play because I really do not know. It is all over the place. It is definitely something that is going to put different match-ups out there on the field and put us in different positions. Have guys free and be aggressive.’

Johnson calls his Foxborough bombing tweet ëironic’
‘”No Twitter, no games, no jokes, none of that. But at the end of the day, I feel just how everybody else felt when they see those bombs go off.”‘
Bills draft still centering on QBs
‘”Also, I’ve said from Day One, this quarterback class is better than everybody thinks it is. It’s better than the publicity they get and by that I mean there’s about five or six of those guys, maybe seven, that do a lot of things good and do them good enough to win. I said this from the start that two or three of these guys will be franchise quarterbacks. I believe that.”‘
Bills counting on LB Bradham to improve
‘”I think he’s a great fit for what we’re doing, because he can fly. He can run,” Nix said. “He’s a guy that the closer he gets to the ball, the faster he gets. He likes to play. He was an excellent special teams guy. I would think that he’ll have a good year.”‘
NFL draft will bring safeties in numbers

Bills’ Bradham heading for bigger role
‘Primarily a weakside linebacker for his entire playing career, when he got to Buffalo the 2012 fourth-round pick could do no better than a backup role at that position with Nick Barnett on the roster. Impressing coaches throughout OTAs and minicamps, the Bills elected to work Bradham over at strongside, pushing Morrison out of the equation.’
Bills’ GM Nix: QB class better than advertised
‘"I’ve been saying this all along that this quarterback class is better than everybody says it is," said Nix. "There are about five or six of those guys, maybe seven, who do things good enough to win. You look back at last year and the year before with Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick if you were drafting again you’d take them first or in the top five."’
Bills’ draft interests still a mystery
‘How unusual is this year’s draft, set to begin next Thursday? The Top 6 players are linemen: two offensive tackles, two guards and two defensive tackles.’
