Looks like Ruben is done for the year.

There's truth to the saying Buffalo is a drinking town with a football problem, where a passionate fan base believes it has more answers than Ken Jennings on "Jeopardy." -
You'd have a sore neck too if you kept having to whip your neck around quick after another DL ran by you!

Its too bad to see that happen... Ruben was a decent player who mistakes were correctable.... to bad he's an ass.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 could not agree with you more-- Rueben was a good guy and he is still a good guy who I am sure is helping people outside of football in his local community.. sometimes these talk radio shows try their damndest to run a guy out of town with B.S. -- So what if tom donahoe and greg williams did not like rueben. It does not mean he is a bad guy.. you want to talk about stiffs ?? look at mike pucillo ...............ughComment

Ruben was an excellent player for Buffalo.And an excellent person, too...Originally posted by solomon100
Unfortunately, his skills diminished while his salary cap burden grew- It was time to move on.Comment

Ruben may have been overated as a player, but all the things that he had done for the community, that truly makes him a great man.

Ruben Brown was a great example of how a football player ought to act off the field and expressed the same disgust with GW's and Gilbride's game plan many of us showed. He ought to thanked for his play by Bills fans not reviled by them.Comment

That expression of disgust turned Ruben into last years scapegoat.Originally posted by G. Host

That is what happened IMO as well. Too bad Chuck Dickerson did get a position as head coach of a new team so all of his moron disciples and their decendants could jump bandwagons.Originally posted by juiceComment

Yes the OL is playing better but isn't kinda pathetic that a reserve DL plays better than the starting LG? (Bannan over Smith)
Plus look at this way, Ruben Brown is not on the the team. I was sad to see him go. But however, Coy Wire is.
So, Is Coy Wire making Buffalo's D better NOT on IR?Last edited by NapalmDeath; 11-27-2004, 05:31 AM.

Hey guys being from Boston, I wasnt aware that Ruben was a good guy... I saw him in the united way commercial but that is about as far as it went.
I just had a thought... we should get that fat sweaty guy ruben from american idol to play OL.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.
