Charles Romes Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I remember regretting how much “even better” our great D of ‘88 would have been if we still had Eugene Marv. I could not figure out how we lost him to the Bucs and back then there was no way to figure that out. Maybe microfiche at the public library.

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I worked on a cable show, “Buffalo Bills Magazine” back in those days and remember Marve as a solid guy, never an attitude, and a fine football player .... sixty is way too young. Wonder if there was a CTE issue? RIP big guy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranded in Boston Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Marve ("e" at the end, guys) was super solid. It's just a shame his mid-80s teams were so awful. I always felt kind of sorry for Marve: he just missed out on the Bills early 80s run, and then left on the cusp of the Kelly-era SB run. I don't think they were recording tackle stats at that time, but man, Marve was a tackling machine! RIP.

billsintaiwan Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) I remember him taking on half the raiders bench in a fight in a game we were down 24-3, came back to tie, and then lost.

No need microfiche, the beauty of the internet is can find things through research. As according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers_season it stated the Bills traded him to Tampa for a 1989 draft pick, then if look at the draft the Bills had a pick at the top of the 7th round that around the spot Tampa would have drafted and took former MLB baseball star Brian Jordan with said pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From '88... https://buffalonews.com/news/tampa-bays-marve-happy-the-bills-are-winning/article_f076a24d-f9a0-5530-bca9-03c3f65209a7.html Interesting... It can also be viewed conversely. Maybe Marve wasn't part of the new process? "...The Bills began their turnaround last year with the hiring of a top-flight defensive coordinator, Walt Corey, and the acquisition of two of the top young linebackers in the National Football League -- Shane Conlan and Cornelius Bennett. But Corey's system, which required inside linebackers to have greater mobility than Marve could generate, and the infusion sion of youth suddenly caused Marve to go from Mr. Steady to Mr. Obsolete. As a result, he was shipped to the Buccaneers in exchange for an eighth-round draft pick. ..." Bills did do better after he was traded... Don't interpret this as speaking ill of him, your point is still very well taken. Just looking at it from both sides of the coin. There was a culture & talent shift right when he left. May he RIP... ...And no microfiche @ the PL needed. 😉😉 Edited May 27, 2021 by ExiledInIllinois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
