Billy Sims, RB, Detroit Lions. 1980-1984 Sad, as due to injuries, only played 5 years but had 5100 rushing yards and 47 TDs in that time - in just 52 starts. Had 1900 total yds as Rookie and was offensive ROY in 1980. Was All Pro in both rookie and year 2 as he scored 31 TDs in 30 games played those 2 years. Great receiver too. A Gayle Sayers like great but shortened career

Pass….he is like Liz Taylor at the end…. diva in a wheelchair.

I said Jets mainly because of their D, ability to beat the Bills and the fact Rodgers is back. Miami has only beaten 2 teams with a winning record in last 2 seasons. Paper tigers.

Likely two things at work here. Dan Morgan and Beane are close given long term relationship. Plus the fact that Legette will be turning 24 during this season made getting an extra year on his deal more critical for Panthers. Legette is 3.5 years older than Coleman so Beane may not have felt the urgency for 5th year that Morgan did.

Happy Birthday Kim! May God speed his healing power to you to aid in your recovery.

Loved me some back up safeties for Bills over the years Jeff Nixon 1979 Rod Kush early 80s Dwight Drane late 80s early 90s Kurt Schultz Matt Stevens

Chase “YaTail” Claypool.

Destiny. Born on the day players reported for first ever Bills Training Camp in 1960 at Knox Polo Grounds in East Aurora. Also as a 5 year old received a 1965 AFL Champs football signed by all the Bills on that year's team from Daryle Lamonica.

Pass. Very poor versus the run.

Coach Hank Bullough. The mid 80s Bills were a dumpster fire. He went 4-17 in 1985 and half of 1986 season before being replaced by Marv Levy. And he was likely the dimmest bulb in the drawer. Some real quotes: “We keep beating ourselves, but we're getting better at it.” “He's making improvement throwing the ball where he's throwing the ball.” “We'll have a good work ethnic.” My least favorite Bill of all time has to be Kelvin Benjamin. Fat, lazy and unmotivated!

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. 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. 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. Never knew why but Bills jettisoned Joe D after 1979 season and brought in Conrad Dobler at RG. 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. Bringing in Cribbs and a rookie TE, Mark Brammer in 1980 really gave the offense some HP in 1980.

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.

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.

Looks like Chad Reuter has 2 Bills Day 3 picks - Ray Davis and SVGP as late round picks with a good chance to start games this year. https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-season-day-3-rookies-who-could-compete-for-starter-snaps-in-year-1

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!

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

Neck injury 2 years straight and age 34 tells me Hyde may retire.

In fairness, It was the "Fat Elvis" version of Big Ben.

Not OBD flavor as had a domestic violence charge against him earlier in the year. Not to mention he went koo koo for coconuts while here before.

Via Texans in Diggs deal.

Huh? Amari Cooper went for a 4th.

Whoa there sonny!. SAT is 4/20! Smoke all the devils lettuce you want then.

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.

Ah the Kansas City Chief Offenders continue their stranglehold on immature, dangerous and knucklehead behavior. Sure the 4 model citizens involved sauntered off as likely Under the Influence, holding some and in possession of firearms. Ain't got time for dat!
