‘"You look at C.J., and he’s a very dynamic back," top receiver Lee Evans said. "He’s quick, he runs hard, and he’s fast. He brings another dimension of versatility to the offense, which never hurts."’

‘”You look at it now and it’s crazy,” Parrish told Buffalobills.com. “I’m on the same field and I’m here, but the coaching staff is gone. In this profession you never know what’s going to happen. Last year I just prayed and hoped the best would come. This offseason with Chan Gailey and a new coaching staff, it just made everything better. So much better.”‘

‘"Even if we thought we were working hard before, it’s a lot harder now," he added. "It’s almost like a welcome to the NFL type of thing."’

‘”I’m still a football player. It still comes down to making plays. You’d rather be with one offense your entire career. And you’ll probably look at the stats of the guys that are winning Super Bowls that are probably in systems they’ve been in for quite some period of time. I’m not going to sit here and say ‘I wish Steve Fairchild was still here running the offense.’ That’s the way the business is run. That’s the way I have to be. I have to play, I have to adjust to it and that’s kind of where I’m at right now.”‘

‘”It’s all about coming out here and working. Whoever the starter ends up being, if I work as hard as I can and I’m the starter, I know the team’s going to be better. If I work as hard as I can and Trent (Edwards) is the starter, then we’re going to be a better team because of it. I’m going to push him and he’s going to push me.” — Veteran QB Ryan Fitzpatrick on handling competition.’
