    I can't find this online, but I remember hearing Miller's career was derailed by some eye disease that caused him to lose his peripheral vision.  

     

    He ran for over 1,000 yards with a solid 4.5 YPC in his promising rookie season with the Bills.  He only put up about 500 yards with a 3.4 YPC for the entirety of his remaining NFL career.  

     

    Anyone know the story?

    Not an eye injury but appears a Toe/foot injury ended his playing days.  Was arrested for bank fraud in 1999 and had to pay back $179k!

    @Chandler#81 thanks so much for sharing.  A few things I noticed.  

    1. Chuck Knox loved him some 21 formation.  Lewis and Piccone outside with Gant at TE and Brown and Miller at FB/RB.   Bills ran for almost 200 yards in this game.  Talk about a limited offense.
    2. Swan song season for FS Tony Greene as Jeff Nixon would take over in 1980.  Nixon had a great start to 1980 season before a gruesome knee injury led to Bills signing Bill Simpson, an ex LA Ram to take over.
    3. Never knew why but Bills jettisoned Joe D after 1979 season and brought in Conrad Dobler at RG.  
    4. Surprised to see Terry Miller rundown on his 75 yard run in this game as tackler was CB from other side of field.  The Bills drafted Joe Cribbs in 1980 essentially ending Miller's NFL career.
    5. Bringing in Cribbs and a rookie TE, Mark Brammer in 1980 really gave the offense some HP in 1980.

    I hope I'm wrong....but this player reminds me of McCargo.  

    McCargo couldn't spell his last name if you spotted him the "Cargo".  Carter went to Duke for starters and was a 3 year captain.  McCargo started 10 of 25 games at NC State and had pedestrian numbers, .5 sacks, 24 total tackles, 0 FF, 0 FR.

    Now look at Carter in his 5 years at Duke:

    Not sure where how you formed your opinion.

    Would you deal? Treylon Burks for Kaiir Elam

    I will continue to drive the Terrance Marshall Jr train right off a cliff if need be. I think he could be had for very little. Maybe a late pick swap

    First name is actually Terrace and I can't see McDermott agreeing to deal for a guy with a 6% fumble rate over last 2 years.  Also not on STs so not an ideal depth WR.  

    Rest in Peace Joe Collier

    My earliest Bills memories were Collier's 1966 Bills who lost AFL Championship at home to KC, who went on to lose to Packers in first Super Bowl.  Prior to that season, Collier was Bills DC.

     

    In 1967 the Bills only won 4 games, and after an 0-2 start in 1968, Collier was fired.

     

    RIP Joe!

    I worry about his long term health.  He's made $53 Million playing football. 

     

    I would love to see him on the field but I also believe the Bills were blessed to have him for the last seven years, he has given the Bills everything he has and its time to hang it up and enjoy life after football.  He has a career as a game or studio analyst just waiting for him I bet...

    Likewise as he is married with a young family.  Not sure he does broadcast now as kids are little.  

    Rumor: Bills trying aggressively to move up for a WR in round one

    My long-shot prediction: Bills trade for DJ Moore. Cost is pick #28 and a mix of later/future picks. Maybe a player (Spencer Brown?)
     

    Bills get a proven WR to replace Diggs at a modest $16M cap number for the next two years. Maybe they extend him two years, since he just turned 27 last week. The Bills avoid a roll of the dice on a receiver at 28. They also potentially keep their #2 pick in the deal. If Brown is part of the package they get an RT in the second to compete with Lael Collins. Then we get a WR in the 4th and everything else is depth. 


    The Bears, who have only a few picks, stockpile picks and use #28 to nab the 5th or 6th best WR to be their new #2 WR alongside Odunze or Nabers. Brown would also fill a need for them. They end up with two cost-controlled receivers on 5-year rookie deals to go with their cost-controlled QB, freeing them up for big swings in free agency in 2025.

     

    Feasible?

    Huh?   Amari Cooper went for a 4th.

    Not from me. He is the one guy I hope they steer clear from in round 1. Motivation issues. Not coachable. Gives up on plays, even plays he is targeted. Not dynamic with the ball in his hands. Plays slower than his 40 time. The weird stuff about diabetes and how he handles it coming out.

     

    I do not like what I hear about him, regardless of how talented he is physically. He doesn't sound like a guy the Bills would be high on, anyway. I'd let some other team find out about him. There are plenty of other talented receivers.

    Not sure I've seen this posted here.  https://steelersdepot.com/2024/04/scouts-raise-concerns-regarding-texas-wr-adonai-mitchells-maturity-health/

     

    Doesn't sound like a process guy.  Also, Patrick Peterson is only Type 1 diabetic that I know of who has managed to have a long, productive NFL career.

    How should we address WR?

    I believe OBD has a few plans but the most likely scenario would involve a WR at 28 or a trade down from 28 into top of 2nd thus picking up a 3rd Rd pick as well.  Do see OBD picking 2 WRs; one with their 1st pick  (at 28 or lower) and another later but before pick 150.

    T'Vondre Sweat arrested for DWI

    Wow, my take here:

     

    Sounds like the line in Kris Kristofferson's song, Sunday Morning Coming Down, "the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert".

     

    Sweat was arrested at 2:12pm not AM!  Day drinking at its worst?   Mimosas at brunch? Still hammered from SAT night?  

     

    Might very well drop a couple rounds now and be a late 4th rounder

    McDermott is feeling the pressure

    I'm sure he does "feel the heat".  I think every HC "feels the heat", including HC who have just won the Superbowl.

     

    Consider Kubiak with Denver. 
    2015: not only gets to the Superbowl with The Ghost of Peyton Manning plus Brock Osweiler starting 7 games, he wins!

    2016: 9-7. 

    2017: Out the door. 

     

    As "Son of Bum" quipped, "2 years from the Superbowl to the Unemployment Line" (and he had a #4 ranked defense that year, too).

    He moved INTO Cleveland and being in birthplace of Superman did not help him.

    Ethan got tainted by his time on the left shore of this country.
