 From what I have been taught (not to mention what I personally have experienced), if you are puffing your cheeks, you are most likely biting on the reed.
 
 I was taught to keep the center of the mouth relatively soft and round, and to "squeeze in"  the corners of the mouth only. I don't see how one could puff their cheeks while squeezing in the corners of the mouth.
