Bills' Johnson tries to be like Lee - The Buffalo News
"Just try to be like Lee," he said. "Lee's one of the elite receivers. He's had 1,000-yard seasons, multiple 1,000-yard seasons. That's what I want to do. I want to be one of those receivers you hear about. Steve Smiths and all that. [Larry] Fitzgeralds. I want to be like those guys. I want to have consistent, 1,000-yard seasons and multiple touchdowns. I don't want to get it twisted and sound like an arrogant guy or anything. But that's the next step for me. I feel like I want to be in that category with those receivers, like Lee is."

Bills' first padded practice in books - The Buffalo News
"I feel like just watching our football team, I think we’re more physical than we were last year," Gailey said. "I feel more push defensively when I stand behind the offense. There seems to be more things happening on the offensive side of the line of scrimmage than we had last year. It feels that way."
Buffalo Bills receiver Marcus Easley sidelined by knee injury | Democrat and Chronicle
"Now sidelined again, Easley is staring at a harsh reality. The Bills' strongest position depth-wise is receiver, and Easley is buried beneath primary contributors Lee Evans, Stevie Johnson, David Nelson and Roscoe Parrish, plus worthy roster candidates such as Donald Jones, Felton Huggins, Paul Hubbard and Naaman Roosevelt."
Bills Merriman Dominated - WGR 550
One thing I thought is Merriman might be rusty, well that was put to rest on Monday, "It's like riding a bike out there. You don't officially stop riding it, but you have to fine tune things. You can work out all you want in the offseason, but it's nothing like playing football."
Bills' Moats Welcomes Move Inside - WGR 550
"I didn't realize I was going to be inside until I got to training camp," Moats said. "Opened up my playbook and it says inside linebacker. I'm like, 'Utoh.'"

Bills not spending like a winner - The Buffalo News
"The Bills have made some useful tweaks to the roster, signing Brad Smith and Tyler Thigpen, re-signing Drayton Florence. But let's not pretend they've become big spenders. The Bills are still embarrassingly cheap. Wilson believes he's at a competitive disadvantage. They're not going to make major moves to improve the roster in the short term. If they were serious, they would address the fragile situation at offensive tackle."

RB White living by Payton's motto - BuffaloBills.com
"He doesn’t have breakaway speed and he doesn’t have imposing size, but neither did Johnny White’s boyhood idol. Buffalo’s fifth-round pick believes the late, great Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton did pretty well for himself despite lacking elite measurables, as he was the NFL’s all-time leading rusher for a span of almost 20 years."
