Big Turk Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Great series former Rams RB and all-time leading rusher Steven Jackson has been putting together about players who have not gotten their due in terms of where they are thought of historically. In this one, he looks at ex-Bills LB Darryl Talley: Jim Kelly said Talley was the most underrated teammate by far, helped make Bruce Smith into what he was and should be in the HOF. Dan Marino said Talley was one of the toughest players he ever had to play against. Edited October 20, 2022 by Big Turk 1 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 That was great. Talley had a huge impact on those Bills teams, one of my all time favorites. It's sad that most young people only know him for the spiderman sleeves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Excellent piece. Talley was a great player no doubt. He was the kind of player the other team hated to play against. Relentless. He came up big time and time again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strive_for_five_guy Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) My favorite Talley play was his pick 6 in the 51-3 game, one of the most exciting moments in Bills history.

I always find it hilarious looking at players from that era with those giant shoulder pads...I mean WR Tim Brown looks like a freaking TE Edited October 20, 2022 by Big Turk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27yanks Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Unselfish, Soldier, Leader, tenacious, driven to win, and drove everyone to win. One of my favorites 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simstim Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Bills fans who watched at the time knew. Just never seemed to get the national recognition in the same way as Biscuit or Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folz Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) The OG Spiderman! Darryl was the heart and soul of that 90s team...and a damn good player. His motor was never in idle...it was pedal to the metal all the time. He was so much fun to watch and I think he struck as much fear in the opponents as Bruce did, because you knew he was going to hit you as hard as he could, every play, all day long. Guy was a beast!

I cannot believe how little padding the players today wear. Especially the knee, thigh, and hip pads. Some players do not seem to use them at all. Crazy.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 he was a beast and one of my favorite players from the old days of bills football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I remember in his rookie season he made a huge sack in Marino’s first game as a Dolphin that was instrumental in the Bills breaking their losing streak in the Orange Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but after he got done helping you kick their asses he might kick yours if he didn't like the reason why you got in a fight in the first place and dragged him into it hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
