He deserves a raise, @GunnerBill is 1000000% correct on him and Hyde disguising coverage and the sum of the parts has been top notch, I'm just not sure how much cap I put into the safeties. We have the room to give a him a raise and structure it so it hits next offseason and limits the upfront hit this year, but from a production standpoint alone he is replaceable at a cheaper contract. I would look to spend my premium cap space on QB, WR, CB, Edge, Pass Catching TE over a zone safety.

 

We could reasonably fit him in though without affecting our ability in the next couple seasons to sign whoever we want.

He deserves a raise but nothing crazy..

 

McDermott is a defensive back guru is 100% the reason poyer has broke out in the league

 

McDermott has him in the right spots to succeed. Poyer on any other team is honestly probably a jag, maybe slightly better

Not taking that bet, ? , I likes me some bush, it’s odd that women will have their pubs yanked out, as painful as it is, and do it over and over, trying desperately to look prepubescent as a style statement, kinda F’ed up if you ask me..

 

Go Bills!!!

It looks like there is good value in RD2 & 3 for a replacement this year

 

I think we can get WR, RT and S in RDs, 1, 2 and 3 with a little bit of movement. Sign Hooper and Yannick and call it a day. He isn't a Minkah, Derwin, Earl or Harrison Smith so I'm not sure I pay a premium for him...

He isn't anything like any of those guys.. he is good safety in the league who has found his scheme fit .. which most players don't find in the league

 

So he has benefitted immensely from it

 

I think drafting a kid to groom would be smart. And the 3rd round would probably land a good football player

Possibly. I do think you are a little harsh on him. But also as I say while I have no doubt McDermott could coach up the next guy replicating the chemistry with Hyde is near impossible. 

 

I agree thought. There is a price at which you have to let him walk.

The chemistry between them is the only thing that would suck losing which would take a few seasons to grow

 

But you can definitely draft a bigger , stronger , faster guy to groom.. while trying to negotiate with poyer

They could. The other incredible thing with those two is how healthy they have stayed. How many games have they missed between them in 3 years? Can't be more than a couple. So I really have no feel for how our current depth would hold up having to play for a longer period.

The Bills new medical equipment and top facilities seem to keep our players healthier than years past.

 

Safety is also a relatively healthy position compared to RB or LBr or Lineman

Poyer has the unfortunate habit of getting trucked into the end zone

You could easily give him a 3-4 yr deal and now hurt yourself at all and honestly I am fine either way. The sum of the parts is outstanding and it may not even be worth messing with,  but I can understand if they did. If I had to chose between Yannick or Hooper over him I would. I'm not sure he is worth $9-10 million/season

Careful Ms. Bush, some high end safety talent in this draft.

Simmons (Clem), Delpit(LSU), McKinney(Tide), Wade(OSU), Davis(Cal)

And in the later rounds for some nostalgia Antoine Winfield Jr(,Minn)

Did Winfield declare? He’s a corner though 

 

Wade is returning to Ohio state (also a corner)

Winfield is listed at safety on the draft network . He is a redshirt sophomore, so not sure. Threw him on list because big fan of his dad.  

As to Wade did not see that, Thank You

He might be a safety in the NFL. I don’t think he’s very fast. (Winfield)

Where is the Jaquan love coming from? He played 53 defensive snaps in 2019.


Team likes him and played well in regular season finale. He will have shot in training camp to take #3 safety spot next year. If he plays well you have potential replacement. Can’t pay everyone and sometimes tough decisions need to be made.

Surprised to see that some think he's good in run support. I see (or think I see) him messing up his gap responsibility and whiffing on tackles a lot. Not to mention getting trucked. He's much better in pass D if my eyeball impression is right. But given the scheme and McBeane's uncanny ability to develop DBs 8-9 M per as has been suggested seems crazy to me. With 9 picks we ought to be able to draft a good safety. We also have a couple of STmers who might be ready to step up.

Here's the quandry, and hopefully they can resolve it.

 

Hyde is worth at least as much as Poyer, IMO more.  He's under contract thru 2021 at essentially $5.1M/yr (cap hit of $6.7 including signing bonus).  Poyer wants a renegotiation, and is quite arguably underpaid at $3.2M per year. 

 

But if you renegotiate him when he's got a year on his contract, and up his salary to $8-9M, then suddenly other guys under contract like Hyde look around and say "hey!  how about ME?  What am I worth on the open market?"

Probably why Beane feels like a nice chunk of the 90 mill is going to go to paying his current core. Those two guys are integral to the success of this defense. A guy like Jordan Phillips is a good piece to have but not integral. Especially with the high pick used on Oliver and Harry coming back. There is also a cheap guy like Vincent Taylor they can use.

I'm wondering about that.

One thing it's clear that McDermott likes on D is a rotation, especially at DT.

Phillips saw his snaps spike up from less than half (48%) vs Eagles, to >2/3 (66%, 71%, 61%, 61%) after the Eagles game.

Then they dropped off again, with a spike to 62% against NWE.

 

Oliver's snaps pretty much mirrored Phillips.

 

On the other hand.....Oliver and Harrison Phillips are both regarded as kind of undersized for DL.

 

I wonder if over a long season, someone like Jordan Phillips is more integral to our success than McDermott appreciates.

I put it underneath the link to the tweet she deleted 


jordan had a couple tweets earlier that I thought were fairly innocuous but Matt parrino was retweeting. Just said stuff about how he’s going to say what he thinks from now on on twitter. Oh goodie. He deleted them.

They either pay him what he’s worth or he goes else where. It’s football not rocket science.

People will think I’m overstating things, but this here is why the team needs to bring in a veteran leader. With LorAx gone, someone needs to be able to pull a kid like Poyer aside and tell him how to go about this to get what he wants.

“Goes elsewhere” after the season? He’s a FA in 2021 right? Probably a good draft to find his replacement.

God I hope not. His coverage and tackling were awful last year. I'd much rather find his replacement now and move on.

Hes 28 years old and has played for 3 teams.  If he doesn't know how it works by now then I don't think hes meant to get it.

poyer’s agent should be telling him (and his wife) that.

 

but you’re right finding that replacement leader for Lorax is important. Hey maybe it’s someone already in the room who’ll emerge.
