Erik Brady: Joe Bock played in just one Bills game, but still wonders what might have been
‘Bock was a member of the so-called Replace-a-Bills, who played briefly for Buffalo during a 1987 strike by NFL players.

Because I think that’s such a huge piece of it — when you’re able to trust teammates inside and outside the facility.”‘
