Im saying this entirely because I’m tired of high draft picks being given pseudo-redshirt years. Dodson may be the better option. And that would be disappointing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the highly picked player may actually suck, high draft picks having redshirt years is often a sign of a talented, veteran laden team whose starting lineup is hard to crack.

SCBills Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 39 minutes ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: Yeah, the one poster said it well on here "we've gotten a lot of mileage out Hyde and Poyer" I think we're seeing that Safety goes near the top of the list for next year. You can't depend on 30+ year olds in the Playoffs. They'll both be 32 next season, and nothing against them, but they're starting to break down. Yea, tough to see given Poyer’s contract status, but it’s time to move on past Hyde/Poyer. Let’s just manage Poyer throughout the season to make sure he’s healthy for the Playoffs. Maybe Hyde comes back next year. Regardless.. I think we’ll likely extend Edmunds, so draft a Safety in the first three rounds to pair with Hamlin. Best case scenario, they can learn behind Hyde for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather that his first game back be next week, on our home field against Minnesota. Announce the defensive players rather than the offensive players in pre-game introductions. Let him hear the roar of Bills Mafia as he runs out of the tunnel. High Mark is turf too correct? Whether it's this upcoming game or next it will be turf either way. 1 hour ago, RiotAct said: I give it about a 5% chance that he’s active for this game.

ShakAttack Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 So we're looking at Jaquan/Marlowe & Hamlin at safety this week? Has there been any indication how much Marlowe will play? I've seen some vets get plugged into the starting lineup after a trade, but I'm assuming Jaquan Johnson still gets the start here and majority of the game.

Probably will be mainly for depth would be my guess. Although Marlowe knows this system for the most part, I don't believe he starts or anything. Probably just for insurance purposes in case of an injury and also will probably rotate from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair to be frustrated if a higher pick (one who many of us were surprised by during the draft) doesn’t get a lot of run their first year, but that’s not unusual for this team (or other deep teams). Dodson can cover though. In fact he’s also like Milano a bit athletically. Like Milano, ran in the 4.6s and has been in this system a while. Hopefully, Milano plays, but if it is Dodson, I wouldn’t think negatively of Bernard. Just that we are a deep team and guys have to fight their way on the field. It’s a sign of roster strength. Same way I don’t feel bad about James Cook or our young safeties when they added Hines and Marlowe. It’s a deep team, and when there is an injury, they are going to play the guys they trust most and give them the best opportunity to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYfan Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Our Bills lost to the Dolphins with both Poyer and Hyde out. The defense is markedly weaker without JP.

Not really because of the D...they gave up 213 total yards and one of the TD "drives" was like 4 yards I think. They hit them with 1 big pass. They lost because they left 20-30 points on the field and the heat related issues they were having during the game.

hemma Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I’ve come to expect at least 1 turnover in the redzone. We can survive those. It’s the turnovers inside our 20 that can bite us. Need to be a little cautious when we’re backed up. These guys have couple of studs that can put us in a hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I wouldn't count on him next week either. Agree about Jets playing zone/4 man rush rate is very high. Be curious if Shakir gets more PT against a defense like this, similar to Steelers with zone looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuvtalker Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 7 hours ago, No_Matter_What said: I am in bed with covid and had nothing to do, so I re-watched Bills @ Jets 2019 game. For those who don't remember, it was season opener a we were down 0-16 in mid 3Q but managed to come back and win 17-16. Defense was playing great whole game, but Allen had 4 turnovers in the first half including unlucky pick6 by CJ Mosley (bounced from Cole Beasley's hands). He was great in the first drive until fumble, then quite ok, and then looked really bad trying to play hero ball early in second half. Then suddenly we got Devin Singletary going, Allen settled down and managed very nice GW drive with 3:00 to go. Defense then shut Darnold down and we won. Game was for sure affected by Mosley's injury; our run started once he went down in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Couple of things I find interesting: 1. Allen's inaccuracy was the main theme for the announcers, esp. Harlan. Can't blame them much though after his rookie season. Fun times lol. 2. Universal thought was that Darnold is/will be the better QB of the two. Fun times indeed. 3. In offense, this was the first game Allen had any receivers at all. John Brown had 123 yards and a TD and was great imo, as he was whole 2019 season. I think he helped Allen a lot. 4. Rookies were Oliver, Ford, Singletary, Knox, D. Johnson, J. Johnson and Sweeney. Almost all of them played. Oliver looked good and Sweeney looked like we may had something in him. Singletary was great once he got a chance behind Gore. He had 4 rushes for 70 yards and 5 catches for 28 yards. He essentially changed the game since our first TD was all him. It was nice to see, since before he had a chance to show something Shady McCoy had like 6/60 for the Chiefs and people were questioning how we could let him go and keep Gore 5. Speaking of Gore, wow. We didn't like Moss running for 2 yards last 2 years but man Gore was something else. I don't want to bash someone with his career but he really looked slow and old in Bills uni. 6. Jets offense was Bell and Crowder. It was Bell's first game after a year and he looked good. Then he went on a disappointing season (789y, 3,2y AVG) and his career essentially ended. Other than them, Jets had nothing. Robbie Anderson had 3/23. 7. It's really interesting how similar our back 7 looked to what we have now. Edmunds, Milano, T.Johnson, Hyde, Poyer, White, Neal. Only Lorax and Levi Wallace are gone now. 8. There was a brutal turnover on Jets roster. It is only 3 years away, and unless I missed someone only CJ Mosley, Q.Williams, Braxton Berrios and LS Hennessy are on their current roster now. That's almost impossible to manage imo. EDIT: They also had LB Shepherd and DE Franklin-Myers as inactives so that's 6. For comparison, Bills have 21 from that day (including Phillips, Lawson and Marlowe who came back). For fun I also read the game day thread Lots of hot takes even from reasonable posters, but you can imagine it was even worse than these days, since nobody knew what Allen will become and people were used to losing much more than today. If somebody has nothing to do: https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/217960-bills-at-the-jets-98-first-half-thread/ https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/217961-98-bills-at-jets-second-half-thread/ It is worth mentioning that success of other relevant QBs on that day didn't help either. Ravens destroyed Dolphins 59-10 and Lamar was 17/20 for 324y and 5TDs. Mahomes was 25/33 for 378y and 3TDs, all of them to Sammy Watkins who had 9/198 lol.
