Ross Cockrell - his name seems to come up quite a big when fans argue that Doug Whaley was good in the draft #resumebooster ?

folz Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 And the ties between these two teams go all the way back to the beginning. In 1995, the first year in the league for the expansion Carolina Panthers, they had: GM Bill Polian TE Pete Metzelaars QB Frank Reich WR Don Beebe LB Carlton Bailey FB Nate Turner And funny enough, on that 1995 Carolina Panthers coaching staff were Joe Pendry, Jim McNally, George Catavalos, and Greg Roman (as defensive quality control coach and asst. strength and conditioning coach)...all guys who would later go on to coach for the Bills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) I heard that Sir Purr and Billy Buffalo had an illicit affair which resulted in a rare Panthallo breed bastard. They shunned and rejected the obnoxious bastard, but not before they named it Train Horn. Edited August 13, 2019 by stevewin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That true. Might as well be Bills South or Carolina North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 It's only natural since both our head coach AND our GM came from there. Coaches usually bring coaches and staff they trust and GM's do the same. Those coaches then bring in players they trust to already know their scheme. Happens all around the league when new coaches take over and clean house. All of the important, impact players on this team were drafted as Bills, are holdovers from past regimes (Hughes, Alexander), or were brought in from teams other than the Carolina Panthers (most of our offensive line, Brown, Beasley, etc).
