Scott7975 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) I agree. Poyer has been a monster out there and I never expected our safety positions to improve so much. It has been a weak area since Byrd walked and Williams got hurt. Now if we could get even just one linebacker to play like he does...

I still think a big focus next draft is going to be finding a MLB field general like the Panthers had in Keuchly. Micah Kiser from Virginia would be awesome.

KDIGGZ Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Poyer is surprising me too. So far so good. Mvp of the team so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleman Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I too admit I was like WTF when we signed Poyer for so much. I was all in on Hyde, but thought Poyer was a backup and a special teamer. He has been the biggest positive surprise so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisplacedBillsFan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Some of the reports said he's simply a ridiculous athlete who just happens to play safety. I can agree with that after seeing two games. Too soon to buy a Poyer jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFront_USAF Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The additions defensively have all been phenomenal. Gaines, White, Poyer and Hyde have been so much better than our secondary last year, and when you consider the price tag it would have taken to retain Gilmore it's not even close. The soft zone coverage hurt us a bit against Cam and will continue to do so when we face elite qb's, but at least we'll see a lot less YAC and high priced db's getting burned badly by 3rd string recievers. Humber has been a gen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I agree. Poyer has been a monster out there and I never expected our safety positions to improve so much. It has been a weak area since Byrd walked and Williams got hurt. Now if we could get even just one linebacker to play like he does... Byrd did not walk - he limped and his doctor recommended he be in wheel chair - but otherwise I agree. And he has not yet had an Aaron Williams hulk anger attack.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Poyer and Hyde have been killing it but Poyer more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I agree. Poyer has been a monster out there and I never expected our safety positions to improve so much.

Juice_32 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Props for admitting it. I don't think anyone expected this. Poyer is everywhere and it's been fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Poyer probably the safest jersey bet right now lmao Always go with Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ok so its been two weeks and i have to say he is the most I am surprised at (in a good way) from the Bills team. I think we all knew what we had in Hyde, but I actually was critical of the Poyer signing. I thought he was a Special Teams player and backup safety at best. He didnt play much with Browns because he got hurt. We were also his third team but damn he has impressed me. He is all over the field blitzing, solid coverage, strong tackler, comes down in Run Support fast. His signing has turned what has been AVG at best safety play (putrid with Aaron Williams out) into a strength of this defense. Turning my head to finally think i dont have to worry about those TE matchups going forward. Keep impressing Jordan. Well written. A very nice surprise. I'm loving our safeties this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The whole secondary as a whole is really playing wel Tre White....making the trade down for next year's first making Beane looking really smart....the kid flat out balls Gaines.....always liked him Hyde.....the glue in the middle of the secondary Poyer.....controlled intensity and agression And a assortment of veteran players behind them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humber has been a gen as well. McD has been secretly consulting me on how to tank properly. I told him to tear down the offense, build up the defense, get franchise QB and reload offense in the draft. Things are working perfectly; Trust The Process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We've had safties that hit hard, usually at the LOS. That hit he put on the receiver in the endzone was a thing of beauty. He's a hitter, can cover and plays smart. Who knew? What didn't Cleveland see in him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
