Is there anyone else in that secondary today besides Johnson and Poyer that would ball hawk like that?!?  Just a great, aggressive play by Taron to fly towards the football for the INT.  Some of the other younger guys back there seem a little more reactionary...and will tackle the guy after he catches it.  Taron and Poyer just go after the ball and it's the difference in a close game yet again.

Really was a great aggressive play, iced the game

Taron’s play gives me a lot of hope for the young guys though. Taron was NOT good to start his career-he would give up touchdowns and first downs left and right. Then all of a sudden it clicked. It seems ever since he had that pick 6 against the Steelers a couple of years ago his mindset has completely changed. The young guys just need that time and experience which will give the Bills a ton of ball hawks in that secondary

For years Penn State was Linebacker U.  The Bills are becoming Defensive Back U.  They are able to take midround and late round defensive backs and even UDFAs and coach them up to become legitimate NFL players. 

 

Both Frazier and McDermott were defensive backs and that insight seems to give them an eye for talent and they know how to coach them up once they bring them in.  Our secondary should be a strength for years to come with Tre, Taron, Elam, Hyde, and Benford all locked down.
