‘”I’m going to do the best I can just to straighten my own things out because I am a man, I am human,” Dareus said Tuesday. “And I’m going to do the best I can to continue to move forward and be positive from here on out.”‘

‘The timetable was pushed back about a week because Morgan Stanley, the banking firm overseeing the sale on behalf of late owner Ralph Wilson’s estate, extended a deadline last month in an attempt to increase the number of prospective bidders.’

‘The team announced the move on Tuesday, a day after starting left tackle Cordy Glenn was cleared to take part in full-team practice sessions. Glenn had missed the first three weeks of training camp because of an undisclosed illness.’

‘ead coach Doug Marrone is having his team watch film on their upcoming opponents, putting together scout teams and preparing a scaled-back game plan for both the starting offense and defense to execute.’

‘”Every single one of these letters says the same thing: we will not support the Bills if Bon Jovi buys the team because we know he’s moving it to Toronto,” said Charles Pellien, co founder of Bills Fan Thunder, a group founded to unite fans in a fight to keep the team in Buffalo. “For Bon Jovi, this game is over and Bills fans have spoken: he is not welcome in Ralph Wilson Stadium and he needs to give up his bid for the team.”‘

‘”Outside and inside, trying to make plays and that shows with the coaches when they put me in” Woods said. “I really haven’t been in the same spot in one continuous game. I’ve just been moving around, trying to get mismatches with the defense and see where they can use me and where I fit best.”‘

‘”It’s behind me, it’s behind me. I mean, I’m not a trouble guy, I don’t cause any problems nowhere. I’m not a loud guy, I don’t do anything, just have fun and be myself. If things happen, things happen,” he said. “I feel like I’m on the straight and narrow. Things happen; young, dumb. You’ve got to correct it and just work through it.”‘

‘”Marrone is such a good guy. He’s straightforward with the players and has always tried to put his best foot forward,” Dareus said. “He’s a player’s coach we all know that. He supports me just like I support what we’re trying to do here. He’s just that type of guy. I can go to him if I have any questions. He’s just another outlet for me. He’s just a good guy and he’s there for me.”‘

‘Buffalo’s offense was working at a breakneck pace, at times in a muddle huddle before the next play and other times they just got right back to the line and ran the next play. Wide receiver T.J. Graham said it was as much for their stamina and endurance as it was for outpacing the defense.’

‘”It tests your patience a lot,” said McKelvin of his strict participation protocol this offseason. “You don’t want to rush to get back out there and re-injure things. It was a matter of getting those mental reps. See the things that the guys are making mistakes on and diagnose it so when I get in there I can make things right.”‘

‘Buffalo parted ways with WR Kevin Elliott on Tuesday.’

‘Coughman was signed to a reserve/future contract by the Bills on Dec. 30, 2013 after joining the practice squad on Sept. 2.’
