Greybeard Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Trust me, Billy Shaw. As I said earlier, he helped define a position. The only HOFer who never played in the NFL. Shaw has to be a part of any conversation about all time Bills greats. GO BILLS!!! James would have been a first ballot HOFer if not for getting hurt. He was a shutdown CB before they ever invented the phrase. GO BILLS!!! I like to word it as "James was Deion before Deion." Without the mouth of course.

Chandler#81 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 His career was too short lived too qualify but Robert James set a standard for playing cornerback and his play led to rule changes. 'His career' (Butch Byrd) was long enough to garner 40 Interceptions. I've been waiting for that team record to be broken since the day he hung 'em up. No one's come with a dozen and I now doubt anyone will. George Saimes was a perennial All-Star at Safety and is credited (along with Collier) with the advent of the Safety Blitz.
