‘To make room for Heard, the Bills waived linebacker Thomas Williams.’

‘Heard (6’6″, 355) was signed off Oakland’s practice squad after originally signing with the Raiders as an undrafted rookie free agent last spring.’

‘”It is good to get playing time but I am just trying to help to team,” said Carrington. “One thing they said when I first got here was if your number is called, you have to step up and help the team out and that is what I am trying to do.”‘

‘"It’s been very frustrating because you see the guys over the last seven, eight games out there fighting and making plays, and you want to be a part of that and standing on the sidelines you don’t feel like you’re a part of that," he said. "The most frustrating part is it’s one of those things where the problem comes and goes so much that you don’t know if or when it’s going to happen."’

‘”Josh Cribbs is one of the very best in the NFL,” Bills safety Jon Corto said. “He’s a big, strong guy who is really fast and explosive. He might not have broken any long ones, but we know the potential is there. We have to be at our best because we expect the best from him.”‘

‘”Coach (Chan) Gailey has the program going in the right direction,” Corner said in a phone interview after Friday’s practice. “I know … the record … you will be seeing a difference. We’re still competing.”‘

‘Fitzpatrick says Harvard doesn’t prepare a guy to be an NFL quarterback. Ryan figures to confuse him.’

‘We’ve all dropped the ball at some point in our lives, and like Steve, some of us let that negative circumstance dictate our definition of God. We never seem to think about how that one drop made us a much better player. In this game of life, we must remember that even though our circumstances change from day to day, the truth of Romans 8:28-29 has lasted, and will last through all eternity. God does not differentiate between good and bad. It’s all good!’

You will not want to miss this special evening.”‘
