Beane knows expectations will be high this season in Buffalo

‘”No body on the outside is going to put more pressure on ourselves than we do, and we expect a lot out of ourselves,” Beane said. “Sometimes that’s not tallying wins and losses. Sometimes you can be a better team, but the way you dealt with injuries in the season, a tough run of the schedule, whatever it is. Everybody is prognosticating how good teams are going to be, but teams are so different every year. … We might look like a tough matchup for someone in November, but we might not be playing our best football then or we might be dealing with some injuries.”‘

‘”Darryl was a tough call,” Beane explained. “It really was. At the end of the day, we had probably the most value that we could get for him and it was, which way you can do it. He has that special teams value. Heath’s (Farwell) probably disappointed that we weren’t able to get him there, but there’s only so many you’re going to be able to get up on game day as it is and we just couldn’t find a way to keep seven defensive ends.”‘
