Most impressive player on the field in Falcons-Bills on Friday night: Coy Wire. Funny to see a linebacker wearing number 27, but Wire still wears the number he had as a Buffalo safety. Making the transition to outside linebacker, his old position at Stanford, Wire had a terrific game. On two straight plays, the wiry Wire, all 220 pounds of him, stuffed a 232-pound back, Jason Snelling, for no gain, then knocked the stuffing out of Snelling immediately after he caught a short pass, causing a fumble that was recovered by John McCargo. "He's not a giant, so he's compact and packs a punch,'' Bills coach Jauron said. That's putting it mildly. In that defense, if he gets a chance, Wire might turn into Sam Mills.
b. Paul Posluszny: 12 solo tackles in three-plus quarters at middle linebacker
