Mark Vader Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I love our new secondary. These guys could become a very special unit. What a game by E.J. Gaines, he had a strong performance. I do want to focus on Tre'Davious White. The Broncos had a target on him and they picked on him all day. During the first half White bit a few times and got beat badly by Emanuel Sanders. As another poster said, this was White's "Welcome to the NFL game." In the second half, White stepped up his play. He would give up some more completions, but he was right there to make the tackle. His interception today, is probably the easiest he will ever make in the NFL, but it came at a crucial time. White was able to finish out the game with good play and he and Gaines helped the defense a lot today. One thing that has really impressed me with White, that I have seen on replays during these first three games, is how he will go into coverage of his receiver and he will look back at the quarterback, and that at times has caused him to knock down passes headed towards him. It's something that you don't see a lot of CB's do. I look forward to watching White grow as a player.

Magox Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 They got him with a couple plays but even on that deep pass where he blew coverage he still had the athletic ability and wherewithal to punch the ball out. Aside from a couple of those plays he was a physical beast. Loved how tough and physical he played and showed great ability to play close to his man. Love this draft choice! He's quickly becoming one of my favorite players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he got beat a few times in the first half he had a great game. Really a great talent at Cb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Pimpin' Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 And to think most talking heads wanted the Bills to take Lattimore from OSU at 11 in the draft and instead they traded down got an extra 1st and then got Tre at 27. Amazing. Gives me a lot of hope for the upcoming draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it isn't in Atlanta I will be surprised if they play well. Next week we go up against an elite offense at their home in the Dome. I would be very surprised if we held them under 30 points next week. It will probably be the game that we finally fall off our Defensive Cloud Nine.

MarlinTheMagician Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Tre is a straight baller. As are the other three new DBs. And as others have observed, I don't think we have ever had a pair of corners that hit harder. What was the good corner who couldn't catch, signed as a free agent with Minnesota and had a great career? He could really hit. I think these two are there with him, and I don't think we have had better hitters than the three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was one of the best tacklers in the league. He got better at catching the ball when he left the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously bigger guys and linebackers made more tackles and were better players. But Antoine was the best technician and basically as soon as he hit you you were down. It was incredible. Way, way underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 From my perspective as someone who was at the game and had a few pops in me I know he got beat on some plays but my god the kid was all over the field today. Kid isn't afraid of contact and was in on tackles left and right. And he was getting the crowd worked up during timeouts and just looked like he was really enjoying himself. He's got the passion I absolutely love this kid, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
