I always like Big Sam. Too bad we let Pat go, they were a nice tandem. I would hate to see them team again in Minnesota.

[Michael82]

Yeah, he gave up on some plays and fought with the coaching staffs many times...but he still was a big part of our defense. Those will be some big shoes to fill.

I think the problem was after Pat Williams got cut, Gray tried to put Sam Adams as his replacement and have him be the plug in the middle. That's not his specialty. Adams is a pass rusher first and run stopper second. You gotta let him roam. Too bad that Jerry Gray was a cocky coordinator that didn't know how to use his players right. :ill:

I'll never forget the run against the Patsies! I felt a rumble in the ground.

[ryjam282]

I agree Mikey, you put him next too a clogger and he is a damn fine DT.

[Michael82]

I will never forget that moment either. I just wish i grabbed my camera in time, but I was too excited. Plus I was busy rubbing it in to Wys, who kept laughing his ass off during the rumble.

square peg.......round hole

[gr8slayer]

I loved the guy as a player but I couldnt stand him fighting and arguing with the coaches.

[mybills]

Thanks for the nice selection of pics, Mike. :up:

Exactly! Damn it. Why the hell did we have to keep Jerry Gray? :mad: If only Dick LeBeau was here instead. :(

[Michael82]

Wouldn't you do the same thing with the bonehead coaches that we have had here during his time? :ill:

Sam knew that he was being used wrong. He knew that he wasnt a run stuffer and more of a pass rusher. They just wouldnt listen to him. :mad:

[Michael82]

Thanks for the nice selection of pics, Mike. :up:
no problem. I tried to pick the best ones and also included my first pic of him and his first pic as a Buffalo Bill. :up:

[justasportsfan]

He was one of the few things that TD did right. Good luck Sam.

[Night Train]

You never improve your team by cutting a Sam Adams. I have faith the Bills know what they are doing because the DT position is void of front line talent at this moment. Anderson is a good rotation guy who went from looking bad to improving as the year went on.

Yet Edwards,Bannon and Sape are nothing more than camp fodder, IMO. Heck, even Jason Jefferson looked better than those 3, when given a chance to play towards the end of the year.

In Marv I trust but we definitely need 2 DT's this off-season.

Nice job Mikey, great pics.

See ya, Sam! Some of us will miss you!

[Saratoga Slim]

I am not happy about this. I don't think that there is enough talent in FA to fill two DTs.

[Saratoga Slim]

Although there may be tomorrow, "Black thursday." I bet Lavar Arrington is on the street tomorrow if no new CBA. Who knows who else.

[THATHURMANATOR]

He was a lazy bum. Good riddance. Get someone to replace him though

LaVar Arrington would be a solid pickup, but wouldn't replace Sam.

[don137]

Sam was inconsistant last year but he was also the best DT we had. We he showed up to play he was dominant. I am very nervous over who we have at DT now however tomorrow there will be a lot od DT's available that are not available today so we can get one or two to best fit the cover 2 system.
