I mean I know it's not really a thing, but this practically feels like it's on purpose at this point.


 

I feel like I’m noticing it more around the league. 
 

McD in Miami brought Mostart and then Wilson Jr in. 
 

Just today Sean Payton brought in Tre’quan Smith - drafted him in NO

Look at all the guys from Buffalo Schein/Dabol brought in.

 

The first year or two, it makes sense. And I think it's a major part of what is hampering Payton with having been out of the league for a couple years.

 

New coaches bringing in players that are already familiar with the new coach and can set the tone in the new locker room of "Hey, give this guy a shot, I worked with him in the past and he knows his stuff" is invaluable when trying to change culture.

 

But at THIS POINT, with McD being one of the longest tenured active coaches, and the Bills already established culture and winning, the pipeline from Carolina is just a joke. Crazy we seemingly cant/wont elsewhere.

No I'm sure there is a bit of that early on with guys you have familiarity with/have scouted when you just become the new HC/GM of a team. But there was never the amount that was complained about and this far out it wouldn't even make sense.

It’s common everywhere, familiarity play a large part in all decisions.  “It’s about who you know, not what you know” is the way it goes in corporate America and it’s no different in the NFL.

People, this guy was only on the Panthers as a futures/camp body FOR THIS OFFSEASON. NO ONE WHO MCDERMOTT AND BEANE WORKED WITH IS STILL IN CAROLINA. AND YES I'M YELLING BECAUSE THIS DISCUSSION IS RIDICULOUS.

But that still is probably the only reason we picked him up

That uniform looks... suspiciously familiar...

 

Calm down, Peeps. 

 

Guy has been in the league 3 years (this is his 4th).  He's been on rosters for a few games for Tampa Bay and Cleveland (2 years) but mostly on practice squad.  Panthers picked him up as a futures signing in January and waived him at the end of camp.

There is really no coaching familiarity with this player. 

 

He was not in Carolina when anyone now with the Bills was. 

 

This is purely about Beane's pro-personnel guys hunting the league looking for the best unsigned guy they can put on the practice squad, with PS backup Ja'Marcus Ingram suffering a leg injury during practice (he walked off); Tre' White on IR, and Benford day-to-day with a shoulder.

Jeesh, crazy the Bills signed a PS DB who played for Tampa and the Browns, and was only on the Panthers roster during the off-season?

 

C'Mon Man.  People are looking overtime for Carolina Connections they can froth about

 

I'm more worried he was in the Browns locker room for 2 years.  I don't think that's a winning environment.

Marcell we hardly knew ya

 

So we went through camp with 4 6'4" wide receivers - Shorter (IR), Shavers (PS), Dezmon Patmon (signed to PS at the end of the season), and Marcell Ateman.

Now there is one (Shavers)

 

Though we do have Shorter on IR.

I was only making a joke.

 

Truth be told with the way bottom of the roster guys float around the league it may be harder to find someone who didn't play at one time or another for certain teams. 

 

The fact that almost everytime we sign a player with ties to Carolina the PR dept for the Bills seems to choose a photo of that player in a Panther uniform no matter how long (or short) they were there, is, however comical.

Herb Miller sounds like a Mattress Firm salesman from Raleigh, NC.

Watch out.  They're notorious for the 'bait and switch'.  You walk in to buy the $129.95 queen set, walk out owning the $795.95 plush top that's really the $129.95 set with a different cover.

Why? They can use 3 callups on him if need be.

Who else you putting on main roster when White goes on IR. Im sure this guy will fill Ingrams role in practice. Ingram will be added to 53 but be inactive like Elam was. And Elam, Jackson, and Benford will be our outside CBs

He sells insurance in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

 

He also had a helluva orchestra

That was Herb Moeller.

 

Herb Miller hit that 300 game last year.  Took up bowling a lot more after he retired from the Goodyear plant and sold his lake house. He is still in Lubbock.
