‘”I know he doesn’t have the size, but he has everything you want from a corner to be quick and to always be in the hip of the receiver,” said Bills receiver Robert Woods, Robey’s USC teammate.’

‘”Well, we have our roles on the team, Graham said. “Mine is open the field up. Speed guy. I’ve got to play fast. I can’t be running slow on the field. We all have to be dynamic in our different way, and we have to exploit those strengths.”‘

‘”I kind of went back to some of my old stuff,” Spiller said, referring to his rookie season. “That was really the biggest thing when I said I was disappointed. I went back to some of my old habits. I wasn’t letting the offensive line do their job. I was rushing stuff.’

‘The justice granted Bradham a six-month Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal of the charges.’

‘”The cutbacks were there,” said Spiller. “That was just me being impatient and reverting back to some of my old habits. There were a couple plays I bounced outside that I shouldn’t have. The great thing about it is it’s very correctable, and that’s what I’m getting preached on. Do the little things, take my time, tempo, and whenever I make a decision just go with it.”‘

‘The newcomers to the infirmary, cornerback Ron Brooks and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, were also sidelined after undergoing surgeries on Monday and Tuesday. Brooks has a broken foot, Goodwin a broken hand, and neither will be playing for several weeks.’

‘”There’s always something very small and minute that (doesn’t) necessarily cost you the game, but those long drives that you want to get,” said Manuel, who finished with 150 yards through the air against the Patriots. “Those third and twos, that we may not have converted, those 3rd-and-sixes that we didn’t convert. There’s always something very minute that we may not have gotten.”‘

‘”If you live a law-abiding life … the charges will be dismissed,” Cavarello told Bradham, who appeared in court with his lawyer, Michael Caffery.’

‘”There was no trade requested. That isn’t even a topic of conversation in this building,” Brandon told “The Howard Simon Show” on WGR 550 in Buffalo. “I know these reports come from all over the place. I don’t know where they come from at times.”‘

”’There’s no need to panic,” he said after practice Wednesday. ”The main thing for me is I can’t get frustrated. I just have to keep a smile on my face, good or bad play, and move on. I think Sunday I showed a bad example of too much frustration in letting them dictate how I play.”’

‘Newton believes the Panthers will make adjustments Sunday at Buffalo, saying the team “absolutely” plans to target the Bills injury-plagued secondary and take a few more shots downfield in the passing game.’

‘A town judge adjourned the charges Wednesday night during a brief hearing in traffic court. Bradham did not speak to reporters on his way out.’

‘”Obviously with every play I was continuing to get more and more confidence in myself and continuing to relax, stay calm throughout the whole thing and stay poised as a quarterback,” said Manuel, who had three carries for 23 yards and didn’t take a sack.’
