Alphadawg7 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. I will join you in eating (some) crow on this. I wasn't as negative about him as you were, but I also just felt he was just another guy and Hyde was going to be the real value and Poyer was just gonna be a guy until we find a better one. I figured he would be the starter, but again, just felt his ceiling would be solid at best and likely just an average guy back there. However, he's been the best player in the secondary IMO, and thats saying a lot cuz our secondary has played pretty good so far overall. Yes there were a few plays where Cam missed a wide open guy Sunday, but I think most of them were guys where a LB in coverage blew the play and also the D was on the field a LOT Sunday with the offense stuttering.

GreggTX Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Me too! I'll happily share that crow with you! Pass the ketchup. What a surprise this guy is. This reminds me of when Hughes came from the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know much about him, but when we signed him I was definitely curious as to why we gave him what seemed like a lot of money.

I didn't know much about him, but when we signed him I was definitely curious as to why we gave him what seemed like a lot of money. He has good instincts. His timing on the Blitz is nice, he closes on the ball really well. We saw him close on the interception and that endzone PB this week. Good stuff.

BillsFan4 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 He has been amazing. It's crazy to think we changed the entire secondary from last year and the results show so far. The rookie Tre White has also made some nice plays in coverage. It gives me hope that this coaching staff knows what they're doing and what they're looking for. McDermott and his staff seemed to make revamping the secondary a priority and so far the early returns are good. It's going to take some time, but hopefully their remake of the rest of the team goes as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liverpoolkev Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I was giving the GM and coaches the benefit of the doubt but wanted at least some Safety depth brought in. It's only 2 games but a pleasant surprise to say the least By the GM you do mean Whaley........Micky D and mcbeane had nothing to do with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Refreshing for someone to fess up rather than deny a prior opinion. (I admit I didn't know enough about him to have an opinion.) I also love a look at one of the positive things that we are seeing. It's not ALL gloom and doom. That shot on Benjamin to save a TD was fierce! ....it happens...Incognito made me eat crow and I'm allergic to feathers....SOB..............
