Cubs key to Bills’ success
Monday, June 30, 2008 | Posted by Anthony Bialy
These Buffalo Bills haven’t been around long. It has nothing to do with the franchise being short of its golden anniversary and everything to do with the youthful nature of its athletes. A majority of Buffalo’s players are still in the initial stages of their careers, and the fact that most remember Marv Levy as their recent general manager while barely being able to personally recall his time as a previous generation’s Hall of Fame coach is a good sign for a team that’s hoping to be on the climb.
Any discussion about the current Bills who have spent a decade in the league is going to be short: There’s exactly one. The longest-serving player on the roster is reserve utility lineman Jason Whittle with 10 seasons on his resume; the journeyman will be the only guy on the roster with over a decade of experience after 2008.
On top of that, two of their three longest-tenured players aren’t likely to wear out soon, as the extent of the contact they usually face ends with each man’s kicking foot touching the ball. The 31-year-old Rian Lindell is on the verge of his ninth campaign at a position where most can play until they begin hiking their uniform pants up to their rib cages...............
