Bob in STL Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) I saw someone was called Jamie Nails on this site - and with so much preoccupation with O-Line - I was trying to think of O-Linemen from the past even obscure ones and thought we could compile a list. I will start us with 3= John Fina, Jerry Crafts, Corbin Lacina Victor Allotey - made the Bills for 3 years and never played a single play. Went to KC after that. no games for this guy Edited September 5, 2011 by Bob in STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombstone56 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) will grant - might have the record most holds in a game when he came back and played with the replacements. willie totten was qb. ONE OF WILL'S favorite moves was to spit a nasty on the d-tackles hands just before the snap. one of the best memories I have at a Bills game was watching KEN JONES and JOE DEVLIN going against JOE KLECKO AND MARK GASTINEAU,,,,, NO SACKS THAT DAY BY "THE SACK EXCHANGE" but it was like watching a slug-fest the whole game the refs could ve called personal fouls on anyone of them all game on every play .

BillsFanM.D. Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) John Fina, Jerry Crafts, John Fina was a first round pick and hardly obscure. He played for us for quite a while and, while not stellar, he was a solid starting tackle. Jerry Crafts was a revolving door that probably had a lot to do with Jimbo deciding he had 'had enough.' I imagine Jerry is a nice enough guy but he was a terrible NFL lineman. Edit: Sorry "Mr. Baroo." I just realized you weren't necessarily after just the 'obscure/poor ones.' Fina is A-OK on your list. Mea culpa. Edited September 5, 2011 by BillsFanM.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsintaiwan Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Tim Vogler Ken Jones Joe Devlin Will Grant EDIT: Sorry billsintaiwan, didn't see you had Grant. tim vogler, now there was a quality backup. always played well when he had a shot. yearn for the days of hull, ritcher, devlin (for a bit), wolford, ballard, etc...

RuntheDamnBall Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Chris Venereal, Greg Jerman, Marcus Price, John Carman. Wow, the 2000s were such a black hole of suck that Jonas Jennings rates as one of the best tackles we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Kirk "the rock" Chambers - he had so much love on this board. I actually thought Chambers and his predecessor, Marcus Price, were perfect back-up swing tackles. They couldn't start, but they always were solid coming in in a pinch.

tennesseeboy Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Obscure...hmmm..how about Walt Cudzick of the early bills. I loved how his belly hung over his belt and he kind of waddled to the line of scrimmage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offyourocker Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 If the Bills had a time machine and could use 10 years of offensive linemen to cover one year, we could have a pretty solid line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
