‘”He has re-established himself this year,” said Bills defensive backs coach Donnie Henderson. “Although he doesn’t have any interceptions, if you go look at the stats, the guys that have been targeted that he’s covering, they might catch one or two a game.”‘

‘”There are so many things a young quarterback has to learn, and there’s only one way to do it — by being out there,” Kelly said. “You can’t learn by standing on the sidelines and just staring.”‘

Dolphins-Bills Friday Injury Update (MiamiDolphins.com)

‘Williams was hurt in Buffalo’s win Sunday over the Jacksonville Jaguars and did not practice all week. Veteran Jim Leonhard is expected to start in his place. Williams has been a pleasant surprise for the Bills this season ever since making the switch from cornerback to safety. He is second on the team in tackles with 82 and has four interceptions.’

‘Since 2000, Buffalo is on its sixth head coach (Doug Marrone), sixth general manager (Doug Whaley), and had 11 quarterbacks start at least one game.’

‘Aside from the opportunity to win two straight for the first time since Weeks 2-3 of last season, Buffalo can put a dent in the Dolphins’ playoff aspirations. “If we can’t be in, we don’t want them to be in,” center Eric Wood said. “There’s a lot of positive things that could come out of winning this week. We’re going to go out swinging.”‘

‘Johnson has not practiced all week following the unexpected death of his mother, and he will not be with the team this weekend.’

‘”Aaron WIlliams loves football,” Marrone said after practice. “For that kid to be hurting… he has, I don’t know if anyone has had that injury. I have. It’s probably one of the most painful.”‘
