Two Bills Drive

Buffalo Bills News and Discussion

Bills need to take strong effort vs. Cousins to another level vs. Rodgers

‘”Obviously, you see the quick release, the mobility, he can get out of the pocket and run a little bit, he can just move around in the pocket to make throws,” said veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams. “He’s very aware of what’s going on around him, knows where his outlets are, strong arm. I mean, all the things that you would want out of a guy, you see in him.”‘

Bills Notebook: ‘I’m playing,’ LeSean McCoy declares

‘”I couldn’t sprint without any pain,” he said. “So, imagine just getting really hit, it would be even more pain. But I just don’t want to affect the team by going out there and not being 100 percent, about 80 percent. So they sat me off, but today I was full go-sprinting, I’m ready to get out there. I’m ready to get back going. I have to get it going, you know, looking at the other running backs. I have a lot to do.”‘

Jerry Hughes said no, the Vikings game wasn’t the best he’s ever played

‘“I only got one sack, one forced fumble, so that’s not even close to what I can do,” Hughes said, apparently holding himself to the Bruce Smith standard. “Pressures are cool, but we play in a business where it’s all about results, so I definitely want to get to the quarterback more, get more turnovers and help my team.”’

Matt Milano’s big day against Vikings earns him AFC defensive player of the week award

‘Milano, who shared time at weakside linebacker Ramon Humber, played on 71 percent of the snaps compared with Humber’s 29 percent. It’s puzzling why that is because Milano has clearly been the better player, but a performance like this one could skew things more heavily in Milano’s favor in the coming weeks, starting Sunday at Green Bay.’

Pollock: McDermott stays the same after Bills’ win over Vikings

‘“We’re getting a better feel for who we are, understanding our players,” McDermott said. “I’ve seen progress in the past six quarters compared to the first six. The players worked hard, the coaches have worked hard. Communication has been a big part of that, but there’s still a lot of work to do, and we’re still early in the season. We just have to continue to go through that process and get on the same page, and put the players in positions to be successful, then playing fast and disciplined and executing.”’

Bills LB Matt Milano named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

‘Milano has been one of the most consistent players on the Bills defense through the first three weeks. Against the Vikings, Milano recorded a fumble recovery, interception and a sack to become the first Bills player to accomplish all three in one game since Troy Vincent in 2004.’
