Kay say Tre the Best CB


Recommended Posts

We love Kay Adams, right? In this segment, they go ‘round the room discussing who the best CB playing today is. Ms. Adams believes it’s Tre White.

 

I love the Survivor Series comparison for 2018.

Yeah, I mean who wants fun and positivity with their football? 

 

We need more crummy garbage spewers like Sullivan and every local ny sports radio jockey.

It was better before, I haven’t seen them much lately but I was home today and they seemed ridiculous. 

 

“Talk about it” Holy smokes if that ever catches on I’m going to lose it.

Tre 'D' gotta get Golloday back before he can be mentioned as being the best.

Pretty sure there isn't a single CB in the league today, even the elites of the elites, who hasn't had a rough game in their prime.

Jay Skurski has a really good Q&A with Tre on TBN.  (paywall)

https://buffalonews.com/2019/05/23/buffalo-bills-nfl-tredavious-white-skurski/

Couple key points:

1) points out that Tre's passes defensed numbers seemed to take a step back because he just wasn't thrown at as much:

" As a rookie, White was targeted 81 times, according to analytics website Pro Football Focus. That number dropped to 52 times in 2018. White's coverage snaps per reception was 17.5, according to PFF, which ranked fifth in the NFL among 80 players who were in on at least 350 coverage snaps. Simply put, quarterbacks just didn't throw White's way as much last season. "

 

2) Tre says he got too caught up on taking a guy out at times:

"When I was shadowing guys, I sort of lost focus of the whole defense and just got into one-on-one battles. That's never good, because you leave your teammates out to dry sometimes. It's a selfish way to play, because you're going out there and you just want to dominate this one guy when overall there's a defensive scheme that you have to follow. ........Going into this year, whenever I'm trailing guys, I won't let that happen."

 

Team game

 

3) On Vontae:

"I know him on a personal level, and we still text to this day. He's one of those guys you always root for....... The conversations we've had, I understood where he was coming from when he made that move. A lot of people wouldn't because they don't know everything that goes into it, so they just think he quit on the team, but ultimately it was just a lot of things that he had going on. He had to step away from the game because he felt like his life and his future and his well-being was overall bigger than the game of football, which is true."

 

True, Tre, maybe he had reasons, even good reasons, but he still quit on the team by retiring at halftime.  I guess that's the "thin blue line" thing, don't expect one guy to critique a guy in the same line of work

By that logic, Revis was highly overrated and exposed as a fraud by Stevie Johnson.

IJS, Tre'D' needs to rectify that if he gets his chance again because it was a shockingly, horrible game. He just couldn't stop the bleeding. 

 

There was also the game against the Jets, where he defended Robby Anderson and gave up the big gain late that allowed the go-ahead TD, in the Jets/Darnold comeback win.

 

He has to take his game to a higher level, otherwise he will continue to be thought of as being a Tier 2 CB.

And Revis used to get eaten alive by Stevie Johnson.

Most of this is unreadable. What I can make out is ridiculous. Enjoy your holiday drunk fest.

What I glean is that as long as White continues to allow completions, he's a 2nd tier CB. The "elites" apparently bat 1000.

I opened this thread and thought maybe it was one of those French Canadian articles translated to English. "The thrower made the skin of pig fly through the air with preciseness and muscle while the catcher gave the defender false intentions in order to receive the oval."

I’m really hoping for his sake he’s drunk. Sadly I don’t think he is. 

 

Let’s not forget that he was “ride or die” for peterman until the very end. 

 

I dont know of anyone, bills fan, media, or other teams fans, that know football and think white is “tier 2”

Wow this is really bad.

Revis was well-established and made the Pro Bowl in each of those seasons.

 

Your argument that Tre isn’t a top tier corner and your examples of two bad games.  So if you’re a young and up and comer...you aren’t allowed bad games.  If you’re established vet...those don’t count or something?

That'll happen when you only watch a quarter of the season, and cling to Kay Adams' breakdown of the parts you missed.

Poor assumption considering it's your infatuation with Kay Adams, that led to her assessment of Tre'D'---which is founded on a Week 6 performance---being a topic of discussion.

 

Even Tre'D' knows that there's more that he has to show, if he's to be considered the 'league's best'.

He did.

 

I like Tre'D' a lot, think he's very good, and feel like he could be on the cusp of becoming one of the elites; I just think he's off by a little currently, based on his sophomore season. 

 

I think next season could be the year where he's emerges as an undoubted, premier corner.

The fact that he is in the conversation when he was taken at 27, the 4th CB off the board, works for me. McD’s first draft and first pick, not too shabby...

[yes, I know he passed on Mahomes]

Anderson got 22, 48, and 76 yards against the Bills in his last three games -- I'd hardly call that "toasted."

League's BEST and tier two are ENTIRELY different things. I think we'd all agree he needs to improve if he wants to be considered the league's best. He had a few lapses last season and did not perform as well as he did as a rookie. To be the best, he's going to have to improve his timing and tracking. I'm still putting him firmly in the "tier one" group.

Your cherry picking stats.  In the game against NYJ at home White was burned on several big catches because he couldn’t cover Anderson.  When it mattered, he was indeed“toasted” by Anderson.  He couldn’t make a play when needed.  Not the same for Anderson.  

 

Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s very good and that he had an excellent rookie year.  But I’d like to see him have less moments like he had against Anderson before talking about his being the best CB in the league

Tre is great. Every CB gives up some catches. But I don't think he is an elite CB just yet. Perhaps a better pass rush and another year of experience will let him become elite. 

I was impressed Frazier and McD changed their philosophy and allowed Tre to shadow the best WR.  Hope they continue that next season.

I realize this type of hindsight thinking isn't productive, but can you imagine if we had somehow paid Gilmore the money his agent thought he was worth two years ago? White and Gilmore as your two shutdown CB's would have been a lot of fun...
