YoloinOhio Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) @theMMQB https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/09/17/nfl-week-2-carolina-panthers-buffalo-bills-greg-olsen-injury . Marooned in Cleveland for four years and on the bench for three of them, Jordan Poyer is making a name for himself as the starting free safety for the Bills. Poyer had an interception and three tackles against the Jets in Week 1, and he followed that performance Sunday with seven solo tackles and the biggest pass breakup of the day. Poyer delivered a blow to 6' 5" Kelvin Benjamins right side as Benjamin was coming back down to earth in the end zone that jarred the ball loose. Poyer had three total passes defensed along with a Newton sack on a blitz. He signed a four-year deal worth $13 million in March and is establishing himself as the class of Buffalos secondary.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 This is exactly the type of signing and player the Bills need if they are going to change the momentum. lets hope the FO finds more players like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The defense is the least of the Bills' worries thanks to the pickups of Poyer, Hyde, Gaines, Davis, Yarbrough, and White. I hope Jenkins can add something in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yeah, Lawson looks terrible this year.After first and goal at the one, with three minutes to go, Lawson made two plays in a row, the big one for a two yard loss on first down that put us in a position to win. Also had a sack. Also held the edge on runs. He had a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Poyer has been fantastic so far. Actually, the whole secondary has been stronger than anticipated. I am greatly surprised at how the secondary has played. While the secondary gave up some big first downs today, they did not give up a lot of YAC. Tre'Davious White is particularly good in this area. I really like Leonard Johnson too. Gains & Hyde are doing fine. Poyer had another sack from a Safety blitz, and he broke up 2 would be touchdowns. D-Line & Secondary looking very good. Our Linebackers.....Ummm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strethor Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Very sharp player with great instincts - what a steal. I said in the game thread if Poyer doesnt make those plays the game is well out of reach. He is a diffrencemaker in the secondary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) After first and goal at the one, with three minutes to go, Lawson made two plays in a row, the big one for a two yard loss on first down that put us in a position to win. Also had a sack. Also held the edge on runs. He had a good game. If a player isn't getting sacks left and right on the DLine they suck according to most people, because most people have no freaking idea what they are watching and what a player's responsiblity is on any play...there is a reason why the Bills are allowing 2.7 yards per rush this year and it's because in large part Lawson is a terrific run defender and edge setter.
