BillsfaninChicago Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I mean what are the chances that a Bills player Ray Bentley writes about Darby the Dinosaur and then one year after he leaves the team the Bills sign Matt Darby. Mind blown! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerlyofCtown Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 4 hours ago, PUNT750 said: The Bills tried and tried to draft a true starting corner back to play across from Nate Odomes during their Super Bowl run. Nate was their 2nd Round pick in 1987 and the failure to find a strong CB for the other side hurt them for the next 7 years. Nate had 26 interceptions, made 360 tackles and was voted to 2 Pro-Bowls in his 108 games with Buffalo. Who can forget the '92 overtime interception vs. the Oilers in overtime? From then on - - - '88 Ezekial Gadson #5 - - CUT '89 Michael Andrews #5 - - CUT Chris Hale - #7 43 games with Bills as Punt Returner '90 James Williams #1 - - BUST!! He was always around a receiver but could never make a play! '91 Henry Jones #1 - - a SS - 10 years with the Bills - - BUT - not CB. He should have played in our Super Bowl vs. the Redskins when Leonard Smith was out with a career ending injury. But, Marv was mad at him for coming into camp late due to a contract dispute and the terrible Dwight Drane got the start and was cut 2 weeks later. '92 Matt Darby #5 Just 55 games with the Bills Kurt Schulz #7 8 seasons with the Bills at Free Safety - 21 interceptions. A favorite of Chris Berman! '93 Thomas Smith #1 CB BUST Couldn't make the big plays. Just 6 interceptions in 110 games with the Bills. '94 Jeff Burris #1 CB BUST He played 4 years with the Bills and 6 with the Colts & Bengals. He was a good tackler - - after the catch!! OH for a very good Corner-back during those glorious years!! Always seemed to have a weak link at LB as well.

Thurman#1 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) The problem in those SBs was that teams ran on us like crazy. A CB would not have stopped that. And Kirby Jackson wasn't bad. What we really could have used was a nose tackle weighing more than 260. And you really loaded the dice in that list. Of course when you draft a safety he's not likely to become an excellent cornerback. He's a safety. Burris and Thomas Smith were pretty decent, actually.

Thurman#1 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) The '90 Giants put up 205 yards passing (plus 3 sacks for 25 yards) and an INT while they also ran up 166 yards. That's not a passing problem. Edited January 27, 2019 by Thurman#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
