BillsWatch Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Thanks. I always though Dwight did a good job. So others do not need to search entire article to read it. Dwight Adams, a scout for the Buffalo Bills, reportedly attended Tuesday's practice. Adams coached Bustle during his playing days as a wide receiver at Clemson in the late 1970s ..

GG Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm guessing it's a misprint to state "former" scout for BB. Unless they're hiring him on a one off basis to check out some of the local college ball games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Dwight left on bad terms when Major Domo Donahoe was here, so I doubt the fences have been mended. It would be a big plus if Modrak were reaching out to get his draft insight, though.

dhg Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I thought I remembered seeing he actually has a title with the Bills as "Scout Emeritus", so I am thinking maybe some fences have been mended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turftoe Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Adams had a lot of great quotes. I remember one year, I think it was the year we drafted Moulds. Everone thought we would take Leeland McElroy the RB from Texas A&M. Adams said he was a high knee runner. When they asked what was wrong with "high knee" runners, He said, and I quote, "They are like dogs that chase cars.....They don't last very long". He described some other player as "playing like his hair's on fire". He was funny, and very colorful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was funny, and very colorful. I'm fortunate to know Dwight. He is a great guy. Because I moved from Arkansas, it's been several years since I've seen him, unfortunately. But one of my greatest thrills was when he invited me to join some of our coaches at the school I worked for (which is my alma mater, and Dwight's as well) to come to training camp in '97. We stayed in the same dorm as the players, ate in the cafeteria with them, got to attend team meetings and had full access to just about anything.
