Is Buddy Still Around?
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

I would suspect that he's still doing scouting stuff from time to time, and will be available as a 'sounding board' to Whaley, if he wants one. He probably also gets to pick and choose who, what and where he scouts also.

Re: Is Buddy Still Around?
I think Buddy Nix did a hell of a lot better job than a lot of people give him credit for. There is talent on this Bills team. Also, the EJ Manuel pick blindsided most fans, but it seems like the right pick at the moment, given all the other options. Sure seems like the best QB in this year's draft, even though it's early and we haven't seen too much of the others. But we got the Kiko Alonso pick for free in the deal as well after trading down to get EJ...I said from the get-go that I love Kiko.
Coaching has a lot to do with it...look at how this defense is playing under the new scheme, even without 2 of it's best players.Last edited by feldspar; 09-16-2013, 05:31 PM.
