‘If Manuel continues to take positive steps and show progress I don’t know how he’s not the starter in week one against the Patriots. Kevin Kolb will have to play lights out in his return to change that. If it’s even a close competition I think it’s Manuel’s job to lose.’

Manuel warms up quickly, Bills beat Colts
‘After that the Bills outscored Indianapolis 41-10 the rest of the way, with the Colts only other points coming on a sack fumble return of 72 yards by Daxton Swanson for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Tuel was sacked as he was trying to deliver the football by Caesar Rayford.’
Doug Marrone: ”I really like the way we communicated”
‘”I was very proud of our team with the way we came out there. We had a lot of good enthusiasm before the game. This is our first time as coaches being together out on the field. I really like the way we communicated during the course of the game with the trainers, everyone, and the players. Obviously there is still a lot of work to do for us. I had a lot of the young guys out there. Little things that we must get better at obviously are the penalties. I wasn’t very pleased with that and the players understand that. Also the turnovers, we had two turnovers on offense. But I was excited about the turnovers that we created on defense.”‘
EJ Manuel: ”We’re starting to get some confidence”
‘”I would say a B. I think, being that it was my first time out there and things like that. My main thing was, I wanted to operate the offense like Coach Hackett has taught us and get all of the other guys in position. Like I said, the veterans have done a great job helping me and bringing me along and things like that. The main thing is to continue to go out there and execute.”‘
Marquise Goodwin: ”I just ran for my life”
‘”Oh I’m bringing it out every time; that’s what’s in my mind. Until the off returner Frank (Summers) keeps me in, I’m going to bring it out every time. In my mind I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to take this one.'”‘
