Drew21PA Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 With von coming back play if AJE Groot returning Floyd being a monster would those factor into potentially taking pressure off the back end? I know a lot are down on poyer and Hyde (I’m not I think they are playing above average) my main concern now is replacing Matt Milano which I don’t think you can. so would those front guys offset more with von back? Kind of a masking of the drop off from Milano to the “next man up” ehhh full week of practice Dane Jackson and bendord will be alright on the corners with taron Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 we need to hit the drawing board to find a way to involve Rapp a whole lot more, even if that means taking Poyer off the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Yes obviously it will definitely help. The Bills had similar issues last year missing a lot of players on D and held together mostly fine. The scheme limits the impact of any one player going out to as much a degree as possible. Obviously having Tre, DaQuan and Cookie out are big losses, but not as big as they would be in other schemes.

Thought I guess - but I’m not on that bandwagon that he’s slowed down. Making plays still for sure - same with Hyde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way...dude is giving up 20+ lbs...he would get eaten alive by OLinemen. Actually almost 30 lbs...Poyer is listed at 192 lbs, Milano at 221 lbs.

Drew21PA Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Only reason I have ANY SORT of optimism is because of the play from TB 43 now I know some will say it’s because of milano but I’m talking about the kids quickness on blitzes, sure tackling and has been solid in pass defense as well in encouraged by the French men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) I’ve always thought one of the advantages of this specific defense is they put priority on the front four and then fill the back 7 with high IQ athletic teewners that don’t command a premium in the NFL marketplace. Edmunds for example was a polar opposite to this idea, and it is supported with his departure (in my view Milano resigning was a clear decision to move on from edmunds) Milano and Bernard are small. Poyer and Hyde were late picks and considered depth where they were. Taron is a similar type of player. Corners - guys like Dane, Benford… they lack the coveted press man coverage ability, but they still work. maybe they’ll find another gem somewhere Edited October 9, 2023 by Over 29 years of fanhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I hope Williams is as advertised being a very athletic player in the same vein as Millano, but that being said you can't just replace a player like Millano that guy will be missed . It's time for the others to step it up & I'm hoping the Bills depth & the fact that Von coming back will help as long as Daquan can get back the D front will still be something to deal with which is a plus ...
