Two Bills Drive

‘The moment the Dolphins turn left onto One Bills Drive, the projectiles will shower their bus. Beer cans, rocks, even dead small animals will strafe the Miami caravan, and that’s before Buffalo Bills fans let the Dolphins know how they really feel.’

‘The Dolphins have allowed only three points in the third quarter this year, the lowest total in the NFL.’

‘Although not healed from injuries, Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler and tailback Lamar Smith will return to the starting lineup for Sunday’s game at Buffalo.’

‘Ritcher works one flight per week for American Airlines — the Dolphins’ charter company — and he got this assignment by chance.’

‘The last time the Dolphins sent five players to the Pro Bowl was in 1994, but if fan voting is any indication, they could repeat that feat this year.’

‘Quarterback Jay Fiedler and running back Lamar Smith will return to the Miami Dolphins’ starting lineup Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.’

‘This week they not only have a chance to maintain a one-game lead on the pack, they can also put a severe dent in Buffalo’s playoff hopes with a win.’

‘Meanwhile, Tampa Bay right guard Frank Middleton was spared by the league. Bills coach Wade Phillips had the league review the play in the second quarter where Middleton cut blocked Buffalo linebacker Sam Cowart.’

‘"Stepping in for a player like Cowart is a challenge," said Foreman, who will make his first NFL start Sunday when the Bills host the Miami Dolphins. "But I’m not Sam Cowart. All I can do is go out and play to the best of my abilities."’

‘On a football field, however, Dolphins defensive ends Jason Taylor, 26, and Trace Armstrong, 35, are the same.’

‘"Jay and Lamar actually went through the practice OK," Wannstedt said. "They both went harder than they did. They both took more plays. We’ll see where they’re at."’

‘It’s not hard to understand while fans and experts alike set the bar low — about small mammal height — for the Dolphins this season, labeling them an "also ran" in the rugged AFC East Division. So much for opinions.’

‘While Dallas sports talk-show callers seem indifferent that former Cowboys coach Chan Gailey is enjoying success as Miami’s offensive coordinator, Chicago’s callers can’t fathom how Wannstedt has become "Winning Wanny" with the Dolphins just two seasons after being swept out of the Windy City for losing 24 of his last 32 games there.’

‘Linebacker Zach Thomas, cornerback Sam Madison, left tackle Richmond Webb, defensive end Jason Taylor and special-teams player Larry Izzo are on their way to gaining berths with the coaches and players voting slated for Dec. 11-12.’
