GunnerBill Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Just now, MAJBobby said: I get it. But this rookie has been starting at CB day one. Put him at safety in the cover two shell the Bills play and you will be fine puts your best players on the field. But the safeties do much more than play safety in this scheme. It is too much inexperience back there IMO. No coincidence that the two big plays the Bills have given up on defense in 7 games have both come when both starting safeties were not there. If Poyer is done they need to try and bring in a true vet with some experience in similar defenses. That is why I throw Xavier Woods out there. There is carry over from Dan Quinn's scheme he played in last year in Dallas to what McDermott and Frazier do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Hoping for the best but he needs surgery then that could be the end of Poyer as a Buffalo Bill. I don't think they were going to re-sign him for the kind of $ his wife wants, uh I mean he wants. I think Jordan Phillips would get a contract before Jordan Poyer and Edmunds is probably their biggest contract this off-season. There's only so many of those big contracts to go around when your QB makes $45 mil per year and safety is way down the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so many of those big contracts to go around when your QB makes $45 mil per year and safety is way down the list And I believe this was why Beane gave him a slight pay bump this year instead of a new contract. Those injuries are piling up. While he is an extremely important player on our defense...he's already missed multiple games. He's exited a couple others early due to injury. For a guy on the wrong side of 30...it's not the way to get the big new contract. If anything Beane may offer him a "prove it" deal IMO. Poyer is still good when available and playing through all the injury is a credit to what a warrior he is. But it's likely time to get younger at the position. Hope we can at least get him the ring he deserves as a parting gift. He's more than earned that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Sorry for not reading through everyone’s posts but have they said when he hurt it? I noticed that he completely whiffed on a couple of long runs up the middle and wondered while watching if he was protecting a shoulder. It turned out to be an elbow.

He spun around and lost track of the ball and the receiver. If he opened up his hips and kept the play in front of him he would see the receiver change direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I know it’s not a completely popular thought but I keep expecting when White comes back, that one of these corners is going to start at S. Between 27/24/47/30. You don’t want any of them off the field. I bet that’s the answer if Poyer is done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMaster Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I wonder if Xavier Rhodes would be a good fit at giving safety a shot? He's an experienced veteran that would probably benefit making such a move if he picked it up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 1 hour ago, GunnerBill said: But he does lock down one side of the field. That means you can shade coverage to the other side. For 3 years that is what we did. Tre shut his side down, we shaded coverage to Levi and told him to keep everything in front, give up as many 6 yard completions as necessary to avoid getting beat deep. That is a more accurate description of what they did. They also played Poyer and Hyde in the box more with White. Now they are two deep the vast majority of the time. 20 minutes ago, KDIGGZ said: Poor technique by Hamlin. He spun around and lost track of the ball and the receiver. If he opened up his hips and kept the play in front of him he would see the receiver change direction That is much harder to do than you think. You are correct but its very hard to do and even the best turn and run with the WR especially that far down field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 3 hours ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Might have to add a safety to the trade list. Maybe they move Benford to safety when Tre returns. Get that ball roll. I've heard this from a few folks the past weeks. So ... you want a 6th round rookie, who has never played safety in his career, to change positions mid-season and start? Do you think there could potentially be any issues there, considering our Safeties play some of the most complicated schemes in the NFL? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Jeremy White had a horrible take on this during the morning show. He said he doesn’t want Beane to trade for a safety because it’s an “admission that the Bills have a problem”. What kind of sense does that make? Jaquan Johnson is a problem Jeremy. He can’t run. And he’s going to be the reason you give up long touchdowns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda Triangle Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Need some safety and OL depth. I don't think Johnson can hold it down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
