'"When you're not comfortable, you're not really confident," he said. "So this is the second year in the system, and I'm very confident. And now I can show my athletic ability. I can show how physically better I am than a lot of players in the league.'

'“We have empowered a lot of people over that time,” McKenzie said. “Now we’re starting to see the people who were the participants in the All-Pro Football Clinic back then now bring their kids back because it was such a great experience for them. In many cases they attribute what they learned there to them being successful today. That’s the thrill.”'

'Watkins feels the need to do more to prepare for the season, but the risk of re-injury is such a real concern with the stress fracture he suffered. Rex Ryan said he's thinking about playing Watkins Saturday for one series. The Bills' horrendous luck with injuries this summer could understandably convince him not to do so.'

'“I think you get a great perception of how it is actually on the field,” said backup EJ Manuel. “When you watch tape from an aerial view or from behind, it’s kind of hard to see. (The helmet camera) shows you when your eyes are in the right position or when they’re not. You literally see what you saw on the practice field, so if your eyes are in the right position, you’ll see the play develop, and you can critique yourself if your eyes aren’t in the right spot."'

'"Today has been quite an emotional day for me and our children and my husband,” Zolciak said in a video Tuesday for The Daily Dish. “So excited to sign with Buffalo. My family's actually from there. My parents grew up there. My aunts still live there. The fan base in Buffalo is like no other and the coaches and team is incredible, so I know that my husband is super excited to join the family."'

'"People see him and think he's some big crazy guy running around screaming all day with long hair and a black visor, so you think he's a big crazy, man," Brown said. "He's very intellectual … He's just really interesting in what conversations he'll bring up."'

'This competition appears to be over. Charles Clay and Chris Gragg will serve as Buffalo's receiving tight ends and Jim Dray will be the team's blocking tight end.'

'As mentioned, Dareus needs a replacement. Those seeing time at his nose tackle position during training camp this week were Corbin Bryant and Jerel Worthy.'

'Super Bowl? Hardly. But when the chips are down, that’s when many teams and players dig in to beat the odds. At the very least, this is the year the Bills end their NFL playoff drought.'

'Taylor, according to head coach Rex Ryan, will not only get more time on the field, but he might play into the second quarter of this game.'

'“They’ll play more,” said head coach Rex Ryan. “I think the defense will play into the second quarter. Will they finish the whole half? We’ll see how it goes, but they’ll play into the second quarter. Offensively, with Tyrod (Taylor) we’ll pull him when we think it’s appropriate. I want to get the other guys work, but Tyrod will play more than he did last week.”'
