LabattBlue Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I know it is just a one game sample, but it seems like Poyer and Hyde are going to be a decent tandem. Hopefully they can keep up the good play. Not sure if Whaley gets the credit for signing them, but if so, it was a nice gift to the Bills as he was about to get the boot.

Maddog69 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The thing I noticed is that they really play Hyde very deep in center field. Reminded me of watching tapes of Kelso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuvtalker Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I came away highly impressed. I was very concerned about whether the two would be an upgrade over our previous pair. Even though they appeared to be better, on paper at least, I wondered if it would translate on the field. For one game at least, it surely did. I was particularly impressed with Poyer's run support. I would love to think we've found our safety pairing for the next several years to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Poyer really had a terrific game. He comes up fast. All 4-5 DBs played pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I wonder if that has anything to do with coaching? ....not a chance......the "pundits" here labeled Frazier as a glorified DB Coach that had no business as DC......and it's safe to assume McD blindly and gratuitously hired Frazier because of McD's limited defensive knowledge, including his meaningless tutelage under the legendary DC Jim Johnson.....got it.....

JerseyBills Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I know it is just a one game sample, but it seems like Poyer and Hyde are going to be a decent tandem. Hopefully they can keep up the good play. Not sure if Whaley gets the credit for signing them, but if so, it was a nice gift to the Bills as he was about to get the boot. Poyer and Hyde look like they were born to play this scheme, Tre White and Gaines were also extremely impressive. This McDermott guy seems like he knows exactly what players he needs to be effective in his scheme. We stay healthy, we are going to be a tough defense for any team.

Fan in Chicago Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I wonder if that has anything to do with coaching? Hot take maybe but the QB and receivers weren't going to challenge the defensive backfield anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Dr. Poyer and Mr. Hyde. Trendy. Good enough for now. They do seem to play attached mentally. Which is nice. Fun to watch them again this week. all the secondary actually are worth the look. Bills we be bringing some pressure for Cams tired squeaky arm. is it okay to be enthusiastic about the secondary yet? Watching Poyer's athleticism reminds me of having #20 Henry Jones back there you darned old f'rs !! But "it was just the Jets".... oh. yes. that is correct. nevermind..

likei've Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) I loved what I saw from those two. My concern now is that we released Mabin and are severely lacking in corner depth especially with Gaines being a a bit of an injury risk. I'm a little nervous that if one goes down we start cycling our safeties in the corner rotation and we set ourselves back like we did in years past. Corners are like the one position you can't have enough of and I hope we're not shooting our selves in the foot.

These 2 are very quick and rangy. They're not going to be confused with the prototypical thumper but they tackle extremely well and anticipate throws well. Ideal players for the scheme being employed by McD. Whether McD's vision for this team pans out is yet TBD, but it's refreshing to finally have a coach with a plan and the ability to carry it out.
