Two Bills Drive

Fullback Phllip Crosby was the latest member of the Bills roster to sit down with buffalobills.com for the Two Minute Drill. Read what the second-year player from Tennessee had to say about his teammates.

‘When it comes to red-zone rankings, the Bills are just rank. They are next to last in the NFL in that all-important area.’

‘The forecast calls for snow and wind with temperatures in the 20s at the 1 p.m. kickoff.’

‘But by completing 51 of 77 attempts for 642 yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions over the past three weeks — jacking up his passer rating from 48.6 to 100.7 and Miami’s record from 5-4 to 7-4 — Lucas has his swagger back.’

‘Delvin Williams never imagined in 1978 that, when he rushed for 1,258 yards to eclipse a single-season mark held previously by Larry Csonka, it would remain a record all this time. Now it appears certain to fall. With 1,056 yards already this season, Ricky Williams needs only to average a smidgen more than 40 yards per game over the Dolphins’ remaining five to knock Delvin Williams off the throne.’

”’I realize a lot of things,” he said. “I don’t have to be perfect. I just have to do my job. If we don’t turn the ball over, there is no one that can beat us.”’

‘No team in the NFL has a better pair of receivers this season than the Buffalo Bills, who will lean heavily on Price and Moulds to forge an upset Sunday of the Dolphins.’

‘Chester had a season-high eight tackles Sunday against San Diego and received a game ball for what coach Dave Wannstedt said was "his best game."’

‘Fiedler, who has not played since breaking his right thumb against Denver on Oct. 13, is expected to dress against Buffalo, but coach Dave Wannstedt still has not said whether Fiedler will be the backup quarterback or No. 3. He is listed as questionable.’

‘With an AFC-high 11 sacks, 29 quarterback hurries, 49 tackles, eight passes defensed, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 11 games, he has to be considered a strong candidate to become the third Dolphin in team history to win the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.’

”’You’ve got guys saying, ‘Jerry should be fired. Jerry should be that,”’ Gray said. ”You know what, I’ve talked to a lot of guys and been around a lot of coaches and you know what they say? They say: ‘Jerry, if you’re in this business long enough, you may get fired more than once.””

‘Wannstedt said Wednesday that Fiedler probably will be uniform as the No. 2 or No. 3 quarterback Sunday at Buffalo.’

‘It is no surprise three-quarters of the way through the season that Coy Wire and Pierson Prioleau are suffering through growing pains.’

‘Sunday’s game is sold out, but there may be some tickets available at the box office today and Friday if the Miami organization returns some seats from its allotment for the game.’

‘What is frustrating for the receivers is that the majority of the throws are underneath routes because the deep routes are being choked, so Bledsoe has opted against going long in favor of taking what the defense is giving him — the short passes, many of which have been directed at the backs and tight ends.’
