    Big 3 are Milano, Feliciano, and Williams. I believe that’s how the organization would prioritize their re-signings.
     

    Tackles are usually valued higher than guards or linebackers but...

     

    1) our defense is linebacker driven, and we only usually play two, which means they need to be good.

     

    2) Beane has been able to find a lot of offensive line talent, and it’s been coached up well by Bobby Johnson. But the run game only really started to get going once Feliciano came back. 
     

    3) Feliciano is a leader in the room and I think that means a lot to McBeane. He can also play center in a pinch without losing much from Morse. Also, guards usually come cheaper than tackles, so keeping Feliciano will be about $5M-$7M cheaper than keeping Williams. 
     

    so I believe the organization will be able to bring back Milano and Feliciano, and that Williams will go and get a well deserved big pay day somewhere else. 

    A lot depends on cap and Morse situation. There are reports the cap situation may not be as dire and it may allow them to sign all 3.

    Dwight "Ike" Harrison CB - converted WR from DEN who had 17 picks in 5 years as a Bill.  

    And who pulled a gun on Lyle Alzado so he gets points for that.

    I am with you - Robert James was my favorite. I believe that he was the best CB that the Bills have ever had & one of the best of all time in the entire NFL. As an old timer - he was my favorite. It is such a shame that injury cut his career way too short.    

    He was my favorite along with Jerry Butler. I still remember Lawrence McCutcheon needlessly taking out James knee after an interception in a meaningless exhibition game.

    Not sure if it was a trade or free agent - but my favorite was Frank Lewis from the Steelers

    Very nice.

    How has Flutie not even been mentioned?  

     

    My ranks:

     

    Flutie 

    Bennett

    Diggs 

    Paup

    Lofton

     

     

    I can't rank anyone from 2001 to 2014 with all due respect to Mario and Hughes.  

     

    In fact, its Flutie and it might not even be close after that.  Guy got cheated out of the Tennesse game and I still to this day have no doubt his ability to run and make plays due to relentless pressure was badly needed that day.  RJ was horrific in that game until the last drive.  This isn't even arguable.  

     

     

    Actually it is but I don’t have the energy anymore.

    The players have got to have their input in on close plays and have some kind of signal to the coach to help out. Signal you might want to take a closer look at that upstairs so they can slow down the huddle a little for extra time. Coaches can't catch everything especially when the plays way over in the corner of the opposite side.  Even on plays you think might go against you, there should be a hurry up signal from any receiver that thinks they may have gotten away with a trap catch.

    Players routinely think they made a play when replay proves they didn’t. You can’t let them influence you.

  5. For what it’s worth, the heckling started and continued because he was the first player to not join his teammates for the national anthem. He either sat or turned his back to the flag, I can’t remember which.

    i was walking on the 400 at the time because traffic wasn’t moving. Got there at halftime.

    Only people age 60+ can answer a subjective question like this. I'm not close. Im bowing out. Bruce and Jimbo are obvious though.


    If you went with best players ever it would be

     

    Billy Shaw

    Tom Sestak

    Bruce Smith

    OJ

     

    but you have to include Jim Kelly as probably most important.

    i would go

     

    Kelly

    Sestak

    Smith

    OJ

    Hey all, Richard Deitsch had a twitter question today about the first professional athlete you met, and where you met them. Mine was meeting Tom Dempsey at a sports banquet at the Niagara Falls Ramada Inn..maybe 71 or 72...and he was receiving some kind of sports award that always seemed to be presented in Buffalo. I cannot for the life of me remember what that award was!!!

     

    does anyone else recollect this or am i just going crazy?


    Someone already answered the award specific to Tom Dempsey but there also was some kind of national sports award dinner show in Buffalo back then. They always covered it on channel 17. I’m pretty sure Dunlop sponsored it and they always gave a pro and amateur award out.
