Two Bills Drive

‘"Jim always wanted a son, and when Hunter was first diagnosed with cerebral palsy, that just crushed Jim," Hull said. "But cerebral palsy isn’t terminal. Then, when they figured out it was Krabbes–which is terminal–I saw Jim shift gears. Jim’s a fighter, and so, obviously, is Hunter. "Jim immediately took over and said, ‘I can’t do anything to help my son. But I’m going to make damn sure that I do something to help make sure another parent doesn’t have to go through this.’ "’

‘Although all reserved seats have been sold, more than 9,000 free general admission seats will be available Saturday morning at the stadium on a first-come, first-serve basis.’

‘"Everything is done. I’m a Bill. If everything goes as planned, I’ll finish as a Bill," he said. "It makes me feel good. It’s a quality organization and an organization that’s respected throughout the league. What more can I ask for in the twilight of my career?" How about a Super Bowl?’

‘"Jim truly didn’t care about his individual stats. He cared about how many wins the Buffalo Bills had instead of how many touchdown passes Jim Kelly had. He measured his success by the team’s success, which is why, more often than not, he would audible to a run rather than a pass. That told you where his focus was. It was on the team."’

‘Gray barely made a slice last season, though, when the Bills stumbled to a 3-13 record and his defense ranked 21st in total yards allowed, 26th in rushing yards allowed, 28th in third-down success and 29th in points allowed.’

‘Saturday’s scrimmage will last two hours and each team will probably have five or six 10-play possessions where they can score as often as they can. However, if they don’t score in 10 plays, the possession ends and the other team will go on offense.’

‘For Cleveland fans, many of whom grew up watching Jim Brown bulldoze opposing defenders, the visit to Fisher is a dream come true.’

‘Defensive line. This is considered the weakest unit on the team, and for good reason. Outside of tackle Pat Williams, there is no proven commodity up front.’

‘"We were fortunate to get to three of the Super Bowls in Tampa, Pasadena and Atlanta. They were so exciting. But when (Scott Norwood) missed that kick against the Giants, it was the saddest thing, just awful. I always felt sorry for him."’

‘”Jim Kelly is bringing along an entourage of family and friends numbering more than 1,000,” said HOF information service manager Pete Fierle.’

‘Their No. 1 pick was offensive tackle Mike Williams of Texas. Williams signed last Sunday and reportedly is closer to 400 pounds than the 375 he is listed at. “I’ve been in this league long enough to know size don’t mean nothing. I’ve seen guys look like Tarzan and play like Jane,” said Browns left end Kenard Lang, who will compete against Williams.’

‘Q: Everybody’s looking for re ceivers with your size and your college credentials. Why weren’t you drafted and why didn’t it work out in Buffalo? A: [Kwame Cavil] I don’t know. I guess I didn’t run a good time and they didn’t feel I was ready for the NFL. Things like that happen for a reason and I’m just happy to be where I am now. With Buffalo, I guess I just didn’t fit in anymore. I had a good camp, I thought. You know how things go in the NFL.’

‘The practices and scrimmage are scripted. In fact, Coach Butch Davis and Bills’ coach Greg Williams met last night to go over final details to make sure no one is surprised.’

‘The scrimmage will consist of five 12-play series. The first teams will go at it on the first and third possessions. The second teams will compete in the second series, with a mixture of players on the fourth and fifth possessions.’
