Matt_In_NH Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Kelso got the most out of his abilities so that is to be respected. He was smart and always knew what he was doing. He did have some nice INT numbers but he was not a great tackler. He woudl make tackles but guys would drag him 10 yeards.

george c Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Leonard Smith.. Lousy man play, but a killer tackler. Kelso was probably the most intelligent, but wasn’t as physically gifted or as tough as others. Edited January 26, 2019 by George C
RocCityRoller Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 George Saimes, Kelso Buffalo has had many good S and RB apparently that does not mean 'Super Bowl' victories 1

From 1987 through 1989 he had 19 interceptions and a total of 30 in his 8 year career with the Bills. He never made a Pro-Bowl Team, had no Super-Bowl interceptions and was ridiculed for wearing his "pro-cap", bubble helmet. He played the Free Safety position conservatively as Marv and Defensive Co-Coordinator swizzle stick Walt Corey designed it. Expand Tony Greene or Steve Freeman or Jairus Byrd.

There were a lot of really talented players on that team. Expand When I hear people talk about the AFL and the great players, it's like listening to people who tell you Bill Russell is the greatest basketball player of all time. He's not. Not even close.

Expand Leonard Smith is a great dude too. Not saying Kelso isn't but I met Leonard a couple times and he's cool as hell. My vote goes to Baccari Rambo.
Prickly Pete Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I considered Kelso a weak leak in the defense.

Like dingus said Henry Jones was pretty good. Expand On 1/25/2019 at 6:00 AM, Turk71 said: Best helmet for sure. Expand Yes, Kelso was better known for his helmet than for what he did on the field. Henry Jones was the best Bills' Safety in my lifetime, but he played SS. On 1/26/2019 at 4:05 AM, Idandria said: I thought Don Bebbe was the one with the special helmet. Expand Maybe because of this:

We have had a number of good ones, even Tony Greene comes to mind, but Saimes was the best. Shame is, far too many here never saw him play. Expand C'mon man! I know of plenty of Bills players & trivia decades before my time, but there's a point where knowing all the good 60's players becomes too much for me! Lol I'm only 32, so half the Bills players I know of I haven't seen play anyway.
Bisonbreath123 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Matt VandenBoom '83 draft pick. Flamed out rookie yr from concussionafter showing early promise w/big hits. Best name ever for a hard hitting FS

True Football fans know it’s because he played on a team with the Best Ever pass rushing DE and a slew of LBs adept at getting to the QB, who was typically trailing on the scoreboard in every game. Step up your game, OP. Expand Yeah, he was a weaker link on great teams who benefited from all the talent around him. Jordan Poyer on those teams would’ve been a nice upgrade. 1
