'"He's like today's Michael Vick," Dunlap told James Rapien of ESPN 1530. "He's an elusive quarterback. The odds are typically in his favor when he goes against a normal defensive end, but he's got us."'

'“I don’t want to cat myself, but I’m feeling pretty good about the big man,” Buffalo head coach Rex Ryan said in regard to starting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus.'

'Snow, and maybe lots of it, could fall across WNY on Sunday and into Monday.'

'Adolphus Washington is happily living in the machine now, fulfilling a lifelong dream as a third-round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills.'

'Though listing Dareus as questionable on Friday, coach Rex Ryan said he's "feeling pretty good about the big man" playing at Cincinnati on Sunday. Dareus opened the season serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy and then hurt his left hamstring during his first week of practice.'

'"Our focus has to be on Cincinnati and that's it," Ryan said. "You can't worry about getting to 10 wins. Shoot, we have to worry about getting five wins, so I think that's where we have to look at it. We haven't earned the right to think about anything further than that."'

'“We’re going to try to play some guys,” Ryan said, indicating all could see time on the field Sunday regardless of who starts. “Seymour is going to play some at nickel and so is Robey-Coleman. Are the corners going to play? Yeah. We’re going to play a lot of guys because we have good players. And competition makes everybody better, and quite honestly we feel good. This week, I love the preparation that we’ve had.”'

'Marcell Dareus, who has appeared in only one game out of nine after dealing with a suspension, a hamstring injury, and now a groin injury, will be making start number two for the Bills on Sunday.'

'Jerry Hughes vs. Cedric Ogbuehi: Buffalo’s talented pass rusher has racked up a ton of QB pressures this season. Against one of Cincinnati’s weak links on their offensive line, Hughes could turn some of those into sacks Sunday.'

'“That’s a little bit of a concern because sometimes he looks like a little man playing in a big man’s body,” Lynn said. “But he is busting his tail to get back. He’s trying to get his weight back up. He was at 306 last week, so he’s on track, so I’m just looking forward to getting him out on the field and playing again.”'

'"He’s responded well," defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman said of how Darby has handled the demotion. "You know, that’s what it’s all about. Everybody has a job to do. You’ve got to go out there and do your job. I mean, to have competition is a good thing. In this league, you don’t ever want to ever get comfortable. If you get comfortable, somebody’s looking to take your job. When you get comfortable, it’s not a good thing."'

'Easley remains on the reserve/physically unable to perform list after dislocating his left kneecap and fracturing the bone in three places late last season. Listenbee, the team’s sixth-round draft pick, is on the reserve/non-football injury list after having surgery for a double sports hernia last March. He said he’s also been dealing with a hip injury, as well.'

'“I definitely think I’m ready to take that next step,” said Harvin, who didn’t get on the stat sheet against Seattle in his first game since coming out of retirement. “I played last week and felt pretty good, didn’t have any problems completing those plays. We had two more weeks so I’ve been working on my conditioning. Definitely think I can do more than 20 (plays). We’re going to plan for me to be out there a lot but we’ll see.”'

'“They say it gets better with time,” Ryan Groy said, “ but I don’t necessarily know if that’s it. I think you get used to it. You find other shoulders to lean on, but that pain of missing someone never really goes away.”'
