ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. - It didnt take quarterback Kyle Orton long to make a distinct impression in his first practice as the Buffalo Bills starter on Wednesday.Its not so much different, because hes doing the same thing, its just the balls coming out a little bit quicker, second-year receiver Robert Woods said.He demands what he wants out of us, added receiver Sammy Watkins, the rookie first-round draft pick. The way he talks, the way he handles business, the way he looks at plays and breaks down defences is kind of different than EJ.Watkins was referring to EJ Manuel, the second-year starter who was benched on Monday.Its on Orton to provide a spark to whats been a sluggish offence on Sunday, when the Bills (2-2) travel to play the Detroit Lions (3-1).Im happy to be here, Orton said. Im excited for the opportunity that I have, and cant wait to play on Sunday.Orton has enjoyed a quick ascendance in Buffalo since agreeing a two-year, $7.9 million contract on Aug. 29.Before that, he was spending time at home in Texas focusing on being a family man after getting cut by the Dallas Cowboys in mid-July.It was so long ago, Orton said, declining to say whether he had been contemplating retirement.And forget asking the 10-year journeyman a€” now playing for his fourth team in four years a€” whether the game at Detroit represents yet another chance to re-establish himself.Thats a bad way to look at it if youre looking into the future, Orton said. Weve got one game to win, and were going to do all that we can to win that one game.For now, Orton represents the short-term future for the Bills, who have reached an early season crossroad. Theyre coming off two straight losses, and switching course for the third time in five seasons at a quarterback position thats been mostly unsettled since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired after the 1996 season.The latest change was prompted after Manuel was hesitant and erratic in a 23-17 loss at Houston on Sunday.The turning point came on the Bills first possession of the second half. Facing third-and-3 at the Texans 12, Manuels short pass was intercepted by J.J. Watt and returned 80 yards for a touchdown that put Houston ahead 14-10.Manuel finished 21 of 44 for 225 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.We took a step back with EJ, coach Doug Marrone said, Wednesday. At the end of the day, my responsibility is to make sure we put this team in a position to win. So I did what I thought ... in my heart and my mind was the best thing.Marrone placed his faith in Orton because of the quarterbacks experience and how hes looked in practice. Marrone doesnt expect rust to be a factor for a quarterback who was cut by the Cowboys after he failed to attend any of the teams off-season workouts.Ortons last start was Dec. 29, in a 24-22 loss to Philadelphia that ended the Cowboys chances of making the playoffs. Dallas was moving into field-goal position with 1:49 remaining, when Orton threw a game-deciding interception.Selected in the fourth round by Chicago in 2005, Orton has a 35-35 record, but has won just eight of his past 31 starts. Orton has also spent time in Denver, and appeared in four games with Kansas City before spending the past two years serving as Tony Romos backup in Dallas.Orton said hes comfortable with the Bills offence, and doesnt believe the playbook needs to be limited.He is also spending time building a rapport with offensive co-ordinator Nathaniel Hackett. The Bills stretching period wasnt yet over, when Orton got up and had a brief discussion with Hackett. The two talked again several times in between plays.Hes trying to get a feel for me a little bit, and obviously, as a quarterback, youd love to have a great feel for your co-ordinator, Orton said. Really, the last 48 hours weve been working hard together.He also spoke highly of Manuel.Ive been there, and EJs going to be a great quarterback, Orton said. Hes got a long time to grow.___AP NFL website:

On a night he managed only a season low for strikeouts, the St. Louis right-hander still found ways to dominate. Wainwright allowed four hits over 7 2-3 innings, Matt Carpenter continued to feast on San Francisco pitching, and the Cardinals ended a scoring drought, beating the Giants 2-0 Wednesday night. "To come away with a way on a night I walked the pitcher, Ill run out of here," Wainwright said. "That was a big win for us." Carpenter had three hits and drove in a run, improving to .520 (26 for 50) against the Giants to help the Cardinals end a three-game losing streak. Matt Holliday added two hits and an RBI. "I dont think there is any rhyme or reason to it," Carpenter said. "I stay with the same approach and just try to help the team." Wainwright (11-4) took over the NL lead in ERA (1.89) and wins. He walked two and struck out one and his infielders combined to record 18 outs. "I was aware of that," Wainwright said. "Im getting outs, so why change? When you start thinking about strikeouts, then you start going deeper into counts. Guys were making great plays and laying out left and right." The closest the Giants came to scoring was in the eighth, when Tyler Colvin sent a drive to the wall in centre field and defensive replacement Peter Bourjos hauled it in. Joe Panik, who had two hits, was the lone Giant to venture past first base, reaching third with two outs in the sixth and again with two outs in the eighth. Ryan Vogelsong (5-5) gave up two runs on six hits over seven innings. He walked one and struck out eight. Vogelsong lost his second straight start despite a 2.08 ERA with a walk and 15 strikeouts over that span. "He had all his pitches going, good tempo out there," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "For him to give up two runs, seven innings, thats a great job." The Cardinals ended a 26-inning scoreless streak by scoring twice in the thiird.dddddddddddd Oscar Tavares doubled and Mark Ellis singled. After a strikeout, Carpenter and Holliday each singled in runs. Carpenter has hit safely in 14 of his 16 games against the Giants, including the last 10 10. "Were still trying to figure out a way to score runs," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Those were big RBIs there. It lets Wainwright do what he does. Its no secret hes the guy we want on the mound." Vogelsong retired 10 of the final 11 batters he faced, allowing one hit the rest of his outing. "It doesnt matter, its a loss," Vogelsong said. "Im tired of talking about stuff. Its all about wins and losses now and getting to the playoffs. It doesnt matter what the stuff is. Its about getting wins." Wainwright faced just two over the minimum until Panik singled with two outs in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez also singled and Pat Neshek came on to get Gregor Blanco to pop out. Trevor Rosenthal got the final three outs for his 25th save in 28 chances after giving up an infield hit to Hunter Pence to start the ninth. Pence was originally ruled out, but the call was reversed following a review. NOTES: Tavares made his first MLB appearance in CF. ...
