Bill from NYC Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 4 hours ago, Mark Vader said: Langston Walker & Derrick Dockery did not think Ralph was cheap. I watched a game in which the Bills were playing in heavy rain and mud. Dockery was the only player on the field with a spotlessly clean uniform. His jersey looked like it just came from the dry cleaners. The Bills at one time created some sort of column by Langston Walker. OK great, but he was a simply awful player! I mean wtf??? This thread has brought back some odd memories. When Ralph did spend money, it was usually spent in ridiculous ways, such as a huge contract for Jerry Ostroski or a big extension for Kelsay. We also had Levy "promise" not to tag Clements. 🙄 I mean, really? Those were strange days indeed but looking back, those were actually funny times too in an odd way.

Fan in Chicago Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I had to go back and look up his name but an obscure player I remember is Matt Stevens (DB) who made one huge hit and did pretty much nothing else in his time here.

NFL Films did a piece on him not too long ago ("Barefoot in Buffalo: Todd Schlopy’s Journey From Kicking to Camerawork"). He became a Hollywood cameraman, and got a chance to film a Bills game back in 2021 (against the Commanders). It was a dream come true for him. They review that game and his role in it as well. Nice watch, only about 9 minutes long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 3 hours ago, Bill from NYC said: That one was really strange. He had absolutely no known history of drug use or psychosis. From all reports he was a model stydent and a great kid at Alabama. The entire CK experience was odd, from start to finish. Second round pick that started 7 games in 3 seasons and was then released.... a true bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Derrick Holmes crushing it in a game against the Redskins back in the mid-90s, literally carrying multiple defenders with him into the end zone. After the game reporters asked him what inspired him to play so hard -- he replied that his brother had just been convicted of murder and was facing the death penalty. TE Bobby Collins having his height and weight mis-reported in draft publications. The Bills were proud to do their "due diligence" and identify him as a "diamond in the rough". Not sure that he caught more than a handful of passes during his days in Buffalo. Jason Peters went undrafted out of Arkansas. He was signed as an undrafted free agent as a Tight End. After a year or so playing on special teams and in gadget plays, he landed the starting RT position. The Bills signed him to a decent contract extension. They then promptly moved him to LT and slapped their backs for "buying low". We all know what happened next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, do you remember a left tackle we acquired from the Dolphins during the draught? He was rather thin for an OT and was a white guy. I can't remember his name or even the year that we had him, but I remember being suspicuious. Why would Miami give us a LT? Well, he was the worst player that I ever saw in the NFL. This man was getting beaten and destroyed on every play. I would watch the games actually frightened that he was going to get a QB or even a RB seriously harmed, or even killed. Sadly, I'm not exaggerating. I just can't remember his name. But as you say.....maybe I should be happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when House was a starter on the team, he regularly dined at a restaurant out in Amherst that my sister was waitressing at. He would come in with various other big guys on the team and they would sit down and have dinner. My sister said House's routine was to pick out an entree on the menu, and then order 2 of them for himself. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Fred Jackson once rushed for more yards in a game than Marshawn Lynch in a game where Lynch rushed for more than 100 yards. Fred's first 100 yard game in the NFL and my first live Bills game. Large part of the reason he became my favorite player on offense. Levitre-Wood-Wang once formed an offensive line core that really knew how to penetrate up the middle. Aaron Williams deserved better. Nobody still knows til this day how to spell or pronounce Jairus/Jarius Byrd, who threatened the single seaon INT record as a rookie CB converted to S. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
