OK - - all 3 were replacements for 'star' Bills in play-off games and hurt the team effort allowing the opponents to win!

 

-Al Edwards replaced Don Beebe (broken leg) in our 1st Super Bowl visit and was a non-factor with only 26 CAREER receptions !

-Dwight Drane replaced Leonard Smith (illness which led to his retirement) in our 2nd Super Bowl and couldn't cover anyone let alone tackle Redskins!

-Karl Wilson joined the Bills in 1995 and had played on 7 other NFL teams previously.  He had to replace Bruce Smith (illness) in our 1995 play-off loss to the Steelers and did zip!!

Edwards was similar to Andre Roberts in that he was more of a return specialist than an actual WR.

Some day STs will have specific members that aren’t bad at their supposed real positions, as made up now STs are primarily 2nd and 3rd tier players at other positions, and frankly not particularly good at STs, but teams have learned to live with mediocre STs since day one of football.  It is what it is, the weak link in every team.

It takes a special breed to run down field trying to make a tackle or avoid a tackle. I'm not sure an elite talent would want to risk it all playing 'teams.

If the pay was high enough they sure would.
