The Poojer Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 i don't know what it's like with other franchises, but i think it is so cool how involved our former players are with the current team(s). so very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 It is our Super Bowl history of players that reach back to our current crop that actually gives me hope We can get this turned around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 It is our Super Bowl history of players that reach back to our current crop that actually gives me hope We can get this turned around Sometimes I wonder whether it's as positive as we make it sound. Could be great, could be less than great. Simply being on a fantastic team 20+ years ago doesn't mean youre a great mentor that can help unify the current team towards its goals.

3rdand12 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I will vote glass half full. The line is improving each week, having Lesean in there is a very real threat to break one.. Our WRS are very good blockers for sure. It will come in time. Half full. and i have no problem with Kelly and Thomas being so close to the team.

YoloinOhio Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I believe Thurman is on the Bills payroll in some form or another. He has a weekly segment on the John Murphy Show, attends practices and is on the sidelines during home games. He also walks around to the suites and talks to fans which he said he set up by the team. I know he has had young players to his house for dinner (like Aaron Williams) to give them some sense of family away from home. I don't know how much it helps but I guess it can't hurt to have a local mentor who had a lot of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Sometimes I wonder whether it's as positive as we make it sound. Could be great, could be less than great. Simply being on a fantastic team 20+ years ago doesn't mean youre a great mentor that can help unify the current team towards its goals. No, but that doesn't mean it's going to make them worse. Unless it was Joe Dufek giving EJ pointers last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
