msw2112 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Kudos to the front office for this excellent FA acquisition. These are the kind of FA moves that really improve a team (Poyer, Hyde). Signing 4th string guys and camp fodder is necessary, but usually doesn't improve the team and the big time FA investments (see Mario Williams) usually leave you in salary cap hell. Let's hope to see more of these kinds of effective signings in the offseason, plus a good draft with all of the capital we have. These supplements to a solid team with a winning record and a playoff appearance bodes well for the future. As a side note, if Benjamin can get healthy for next year and Gaines re-signs and can get/stay healthy, these acquisitions will also reflect very well on the front office. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This team wouldn't have made the playoffs this year, let alone be competitive without the revamped secondary. And if White doesn't win the defensive rookie of the year award something is wrong given he is PFF's top graded rookie, not just defensively but overall.

There is no shame in losing the DROY award to Lattimore, who is a generational player at the position that allows so much scheme flexibility for his DC.

While I agree in theory, White single handedly won games for the Bills this year. Lattimore made a major impact for the Saints defensively but they won games this year primarily with their offense which has always been the case, only difference is instead of Brees having to put up 300+ yards every game they did it with a very dynamic rushing offense.

HUGE jumps in both categories from previous years. Lattimore is direct contributor there. while there is a very good argument for white, Lattimore basically played 4 less games and his raw numbers stack up with whites 16 game season. Lattimore will probably win it and he'll deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTheTrust Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 So many things for us to debate on this board but I think we can all agree we hit a homerun with this revamped secondary!!! Now get them a pass rush and this D will be top 5 again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If White got snubbed from the pro bowl, I highly doubt he'll edge out Lattimore for DROY. Lattimore made the pro bowl. Unfortunately the Bills will have to become more of a nationally recognized team before players will get the recognition they deserve. Hopefully the Bills continue to make the playoffs and even win some playoff games. That will do more than anything to help the players get recognized.

Mark Vader Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Very deserving for Jordan Poyer. I'm amazed at how great this new secondary has played for us all season. I'll admit that I was not that thrilled when the Bills signed Poyer. What an impact he has had on the team, and what a Safety duo we have with Poyer & Micah Hyde. We have to re-sign E.J. Gaines, despite him being injury prone. Even if it's a big contract. We really cannot afford to lose him. White, Gaines, Hyde & Poyer are all young players. Who knows how great this secondary can be for us in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
