YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 A player who was considered fringe or ST only in offseason/ at beginning of camp, then emerged unexpectedly as a major contributor? A few candidates for me at this juncture are Yarborough, Streater, Humber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I would go with Poyer. Never been a consistent starter but will be give every opportunity to be a starter here. Plus, his hot girlfriend factor is very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman was a late round pick who did nothing in Philly, then went to Carolina and made plays everywhere at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) I like the topic and a lot of the names thrown around (Poyer, Thomas, Yarbrough, Streater and Humber). I guess that I will pick someone different and will say Nick O'Leary. Clay seems to always be battling some sort of injury and this offense will use the TEs. I can see O'Leary catching 6-8 TDs which would be unexpected. (Whoops someone else picked him) Edited August 9, 2017 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Logan Thomas If Clay can't stay healthy, this is an interesting option on offense. On defense, I'm hoping for all of the above! We just may need that. (Did I cheat? Wouldn't be the first time...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Based on camp reports Yarbrough is the most obvious to come out of nowhere if he keeps it up. Will be interesting to see if he can have production in the preseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if he can have production in the preseasonon Yarbrough, j thought it was interesting that McD said yesterday it was Waufle who was familiar with him and triggered the signing. McD didn't know him at all. I like the fact Waufle saw something in him. He has coached a lot of studs.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Gonna go with Humber. When we signed Hodges everyone assumed Humber was hitting the bench, much like signing lorax and him circumventing Manny lawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) I would go with Poyer. Never been a consistent starter but will be give every opportunity to be a starter here. Plus, his hot girlfriend factor is very high.My first choice as well. With a good, healthy front 7, I think our secondary will look better than many people think. Good pressure up front should create hurried and errant throws. The DBs will be in zone a lot, allowing them to keep their eyes on the QB, and make plays on the ball. For this defense, I think Poyer and Hyde are just fine. Teams will still expose them. I think they'll be vulnerable down the seams and on deep post/smash concepts. But they'll be put in positions to make plays. Just need our front 7 to create havoc in the backfield and hold up against the run.

They'll be in zone a lot, and so the DBs will be able to watch the QB and jump at hurried throws. I like zone because i feel like you have 3 main options - late? make a tackle - on time? breakup or make a tackle - early? Breakup or INT. Man is tougher on the corners because you might be following them all over the field, they might be lining up in different spots etc. Teams are more and more just moving players around but ending them up in the same places. The checks and adjustments can be a bit more fluid in a zone I think, and you can disguise blitzes more effectively.

The checks and adjustments can be a bit more fluid in a zone I think, and you can disguise blitzes more effectively. That's what McDermott likes to do. He can disguise his blitzes in several ways. Defensive linemen are asked to drop at times as well, to cover for a blitzing LB. Only problem right now is our LBs aren't as good as what he had in Carolina. I believe that our defensive line is better than what he had in Carolina, so that helps. Just need them to stay healthy. Losing one or two guys up front for significant time would be a major blow for this defense. Thomas on offense Humber on D. I like this. I'll be watching Thomas very closely over the next month.
