Bills receiver wants emphasis on pass

? Receiver Eric Moulds is all for owner Ralph Wilson’s suggestion that the Buffalo Bills open up their passing attack.

“I think we’ve got the players to open it up,” Moulds said. “We’ve been coming out trying to establish the run game. And I think we’re going to try to continue to establish the run. But at the same time, we need to throw the ball a little more.”

Moulds’ comments came after Wilson criticized his team’s offense for being boring following Buffalo’s 16-14 loss Sunday at the New York Jets. Saying he was tired of smashmouth football, Wilson said he’d rather quarterback Drew Bledsoe throw the ball deep more often, even if it meant risking interceptions.

The Bills need some kind of spark, having lost their first four games this season. They will play host today to Miami (0-5) in a meeting between the NFL’s two remaining winless teams.

Moulds’ support for Wilson is not a big surprise, considering the Bills’ marquee receiver has lobbied in the past to have more passes thrown his way.

The difference this time, Moulds said, is that unlike last season, he’s not bothered by a groin injury that prevented him from going deep. And he noted that the Bills had a receiving corps capable of being successful with the emergence of rookie Lee Evans, the first-round draft pick who’s quickly taken over the No. 2 role.

The Bills offense, under new coordinator Tom Clements, has so far stuck to a conservative approach, concentrating on establishing the run, and having Bledsoe get rid of the ball quickly. That’s come at the expense of the deep game, which has been used sparingly, and mostly when Buffalo is playing catch-up.

The Bills have been successful, however, on those few occasions when Bledsoe goes deep.

There was Evans’ 65-yard reception that set up Buffalo’s only touchdown late in a 13-10 loss at Oakland in Week 2.

Moulds had a 41-yard touchdown the following game in a 31-17 loss to New England.
