26CornerBlitz Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Safety – Jordan Poyer, Buffalo BillsPFF Grade: 87.5 Elite Stat: Poyer had a perfect tackling efficiency score, missing no tackles on eight total attempts. One of the early surprises of the 2017 season, Joran Poyer makes the team of the week for the second game running. Poyer broke up two passes in the game despite only being the primary coverage defender for one, and notched a sack on just two pass rushing plays on the blitz. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-nfl-2017-week-2-team-of-the-week/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Are you giving jsp the thumbs up because he is glaringly wrong again? Beane wasnt there when they signed Poyer. McD was, Beane no. That's why I didn't give him this. --> :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Safety is the weirdest position in football. Definitely on the defensive side. It really has nothing to do with physical gifts such as height or speed or hitting like a Mac truck... It takes a student of the game to be a good safety. A player that coaches say, one day that will be a coach. It takes instincts, and awareness and guts. You must be team first and the eyes for the rest of the team. Poyer is playing like a man who knows it's his shot and he knows how to be a good safety. Just gotta take it one game at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of guys who played qb make great Ss because they understand passing concepts. I also love the idea of vet CBs becoming Ss at the end of their careers. I won't have minded the idea of Revis playing as a FS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep exactly If you understand route concepts and plays design as a safety you can be really special if you play the game correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a solid safety for years with the Bills. I know players were smaller back then but he was small even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 the defensive overhaul has been great, esp. in the secondary. the offensive side did not need an overhaul, it got tweaked a bit, and is all downhill. I think the coordinator and his odd game planning is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj192 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I like what I have seen thus far and I hope he can continue his play. PFF rated him the highest through the first two weeks. Two weeks is the key though. Let's see how he plays out the rest of the season. Way too early to say we are "set" at Safety for the future.

CardinalScotts Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 we played 9 guys at safety last year- yes 9. He comes in here and he's better than all of them. Best 2 man safties they have had since ?? I remember the Leonard Smith / Kelso combo was really good right after Smith got here but just for the rest of that season. Searcy was a decent player but George Wilson sucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know players were smaller back then but he was small even then. Yea the great kazoo was a small football player. Met him 2-3 times at some football camps and he definitely just looks like your average joe... His football mind is what made him we played 9 guys at safety last year- yes 9.

I remember the Leonard Smith / Kelso combo was really good right after Smith got here but just for the rest of that season. Searcy was a decent player but George Wilson sucked Searcy and Aaron Williams was a good pairing under Schwartz. They complimented eatchother well and both had good football IQ. I was a bit sad when searcy left, he was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a decent player, but I'll never forget his 2011 game vs. Michael Vick and the Eagles; he was absolutely unbelievable that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
