Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Any word on his shoulder? He came off the field yesterday holding a limp arm after hitting the pile. There was a noticeable pop of the pads heard on the telecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I wonder were all the positives on Teller come from? Are you guys going to practice every week? Why cant this guy beat out Miller if he has such upside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I wouldn't say he's quietly helped the impact; he's been quite noticeable, as evidenced by a couple other threads over the past two or three weeks. Now, if someone could step up and take a hold of the other CB position... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I love the way he plays. He is the most physical corner we have had since Winfield. I hope we have him and Tre for a long time. This secondary is so close to being a special unit. One of those units that gets a nickname and shuts down all the QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Teller becomes a contributor then the first five picks will be solid contributors. both drafts have been solid since McD, their pro scouting hasn't as good though.

John from Riverside Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The Wyatt Teller thing to me is a head scratcher........thought he was our best run blocking offensive linemen through pre season.....and I didnt see him get lost in pass protection except for a couple of times....... But...I cant stand this offensive line coach either so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have added some nice depth with in-season pick ups on defense. Phillips and Lewis have fit in like a glove. The defense is clicking on all three levels. Impressive for the roster turnover on that side of the ball this past offseason. A lot of new faces have shined in McDermott's defense. Rookies, free agents and players that were already on the team. Hughes is playing some of the best ball of his career so far this season. He's been the poor man's von miller he was a few years ago. Kyle is still getting in on the action and he looks like the guy who plays santa at the mall. Everything seems to be working. I have to credit the coaching staff. McDermott knows what he wants on in his defensive players and seems to be picking them out of the sky and putting them into place. It's pretty impressive so far. I mean, a 5th round pick, a fourth round pick and waiver pick ups are making differences on the field. Hard to hit on all of that in the time that they've been here. Hopefully the solid play on that side of the ball continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 17 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: both drafts have been solid since McD, their pro scouting hasn't as good though. I respectfully disagree that their pro scouting has been lacking. The Benjamin, Kerley, and Matthews acquisitions at WR have proven to be bad moves. Otherwise, though? Pretty good results, in my opinion. The additions of Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer -- arguably both Pro Bowl level talents who are just entering the prime -- was a master stroke. Star, Trent, Jordan Phillips, Eddie Yarbrough, and Chris Ivory seem to be working out well, too. Even Vlad Ducasse -- the favorite whipping boy of Bills fans -- has played well this year. In fact, I'd say that all of their pro personnel acquisitions at positions OTHER than WR have worked out anywhere from decent to exceptional. The lack of success finding WR help, however, is cause for concern, based on the fact that the Panthers (from whom Beane came to us) ALSO demonstrated an inability to find quality WRs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 10-11: Bills' CB Taron Johnson on WGR (8:19) #Bills cornerback Taron Johnson (@Taronj11) joins Howard and Jeremy right now on WGR! Tune in: Johnson on his first career interception this past Sunday - I just read Mariota’s eyes and I was able to break the route. #Bills Johnson - When I came here, my goal was to be on the field and help the team. Just wanted to work hard and help the defense. #Bills Johnson - No matter how I’m feeling, I’m going to go out there and go 100-percent. #Bills Johnson - I feel like the coaches have done a nice job the past few games. They simplified things, and they want us to go out and play fast and smart. #Bills Johnson - My goal was always to make the NFL. I know that Weber State is not the biggest of schools, but that was the route I needed to take. #Bills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This is why we should never spend high picks on d backs going forward. If there is one area SM kills it, it’s defensive backs. Looks like Ike a great pick. Now, keep Hire an offensive guru and keep away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way he plays fast, tough and aggressive. Keep him healthy and we have a good CB for the future. Great draft pick for the 4th round. We should be playing in our nickel defense against Houston 95% of the time. They have no RB on this roster that is a threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue is so slow and is average at best. Miller has some talent but it has not materialized into him taking over games. I wouldn't be surprised if Foreman is the starting RB once he is cleared to play. The goal this week should be to take away Hopkins at all cost. Also if there is one O-Line that is worse than ours it's the Texans. Bring that nickel CB on a few well timed blitzes, the Texans O-Line will crumble if anything out of the ordinary is thrown at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't move him to DB2 while he's developing, and especially while he's performing at an exceptional level for what was given up to draft him. The FA DB class has some solid names coming up, and while it's not an immediate need, having that stud DB2 to anchor our secondary would be great to see. Johnson could nickel/slot and also help with depth should we need it. No reason to overshoot the guy just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 This defense is a CB2 and an edge rusher (Jerry ain't getting any younger) away from being set completely -- at least as far as starters go. I sincerely hope that most of our free agency dollars and draft picks are spent on offense this coming offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 How Taron Johnson's 'bulldog mentality' is serving him and Bills defense well Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott feels as though it takes a “special type of player with a special mindset” to play the nickel cornerback position. Though he’s only four games into his professional career, Taron Johnson has already proven that he fits the bill. Johnson has shined in the slot when healthy this season, standing out as a young defensive cornerstone that the Bills can look to build around.
