    Not Bills but my former student was drafted Saturday



    Spruill Brings Experience Inside, Outside at Linebacker

    Spruill is billed as a hard-hitter that can get to the ball quickly. The Falcons have given their defense a facelift during the offseason and the fifth-round pick figures to have a shot in 3-4 and 4-3 looks for the Falcons on defense.



    He is the second player who I had as a student drafted in the past few years.

    no kickbacks?
    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.

                          Loved watching him at Cuse. I hope he heals up quickly and gets a chance to show his skills.
                          Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind.

                            Rehab and come back stronger.
                            Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
