No idea why realtor thought there would be viewers then.\ Surgeries were done at different times when I could not deal with the pain. Yep. Tore mine wrestling my son. Two state heavy weight championships under his belt yet the old man still thought he could take him. He went with me to the ortho surgeon and when he told the doctor he was pinning me I interrupted and said, "trying - to pin me". Plenty of rehab, and still hurts some days.. We both knew he schooled me - sucks getting older. Edited December 1, 2018 by WideNine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would understand if you lived in Buffalo area like rest of us." Yes we had a snowstorm here worthy of Western New York that year with businesses closed legitimately for a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays so physical. We really missed him in the run game after he got hurt. That shoulder nagged him all year, it seemed. Hope it’s fixed up.

I'm surprised he wasn't drafted as a safety.

I misspoke But regardless, I firmly believe that late round gems make or break your team. Imagine that Taron and Wyatt were better players than 1st and 2nd round guys prior to McD. Wow! What a difference in philosophy! I think we got ourselves an outstanding coaching staff, which in turn will lead to an outstanding team. I'm all in on this staff. They ain't just putting on a Clemson helmet and going media friendly. They do their homework, and draft well. I'm excited. Give it 2 years, and we may be where we all hope to be?

Drawing a blank, but didn’t we lose someone from the scouting department? Hope that’s a position well filled, because that’s your lifeblood!

Teller was on my radar before the draft as I saw some mocks that had him as a possible third round pick and there was an obvious O line need with the Bills.. Johnson on the other hand was completely out of the blue... my first though was WTF.? . but he has turned out to be a nice find... hope he is fully healed up and comes back next season stronger and even better Edited February 9, 2019 by Aussie Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our main man in draft season is Terrance Gray, Director of College Scouting. Came over from the Vikings after Beane was hired. And his assistant, Lake Dawson.

So he took a demotion to Sr College Scout. Glad he got the promotion (even if it is Miami) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPbillsfan Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 When I did my final mock draft I had the Bills selection both Johnson and Teller. Of course I also had us taking Vander Eche and Lamar Jackson in the first so there's that too, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely impressive , especially coming from a small school like Weber St , I saw the natural talent in his first couple pro games. Besides the great coverage , he is extremely physical in the run game , he really popped off the screen to me , his awareness and instincts are off the charts and he did this with a bum shoulder since at least week 5.
