Kelly the Dog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think most fans knew who he was and were happy we signed him in FA. And Poyer made more highlight plays and Tre White got a lot of well deserved pub, too. But Hyde has been tremendous against the pass and run. And his obvious highlight plays will be discussed a lot. But he makes a lot of other plays as well. We have yet to give up one bomb in four games. He made two tackles on long runs that were hard tackles in the open field that are touchdowns if he misses them. He doesn't see to miss assignments or tackles. They put him back to be a reliable PR returner. He's been lights out, even with other defensive backs being lights out. And he's probably been the best overall player on defense. Many have played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I watch a lot of Packer games, and when Hyde became a FA, I was hoping the Bills would get him. He's our best FA pickup this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yep but PFF has him graded as like the 50tj best safety in the league lol He is a boss and our best safety by far. He wants an all pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have played well. Not to take anything away from him, but I just can't definitively say he's the best defender so far. I don't have an issue with someone saying its him because I think there are 3 guys who each have a legit case for that. Poyer, White, and Hyde all have a legit case. The exciting thing is that coming into the season the secondary had the most question marks on D. I loved the signing and he has definitely exceeded even my positive expectations.

White and Poyer have both been terrific. White made a play today that few rookies ever make. He jumped the pass when it came toward him, went for the pass defense with one hand, missed it, but used his other hand to tackle the receiver who made the short reception and the guy went no right down. That was tremendous. But little plays Hyde makes haven't been given enough play. He's such a sure tackler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swnybillsfan Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 he definitely had himself a game today. i have been impressed with this defensive backfield as a whole this season, but i think he is the leader of the pack, so to speak. i am definitely happy with this signing. and it makes me feel good that he is a guy they identified, went after, and signed.

He's good.

njbuff Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 He brings a much needed winning attitude to this team, which desperately needed it. if that was his greatest contribution, that would have made me happy, but he is a LOT better than I gave him credit for.

Kmart128 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Id take Poyer and White over Hyde. White lead the entire NFL with passes defensed. Hyde has allowed some underneath throws and was the player to allow our lone passing TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I really think his versatility hurt him. Green Bay would move him everywhere to cover injuries. Corner, Safety, Nickel, Dime.... he played them all. Think some teams pigeon holed him as a jack of all trades and master of none. Always been a fan and not surprised he is excelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think it's hard to pick out who is the best. As a unit the defense has played lights out. Hyde's excellent, but so has White and Poyer played, Preston Brown has a ton of tackles, the front four have stopped the run all year, and so on.
