Mynamemike Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Iāll gladly take it on the chin that I doubted this pickup. Ā Between Douglas and Bernard Iāve been terribly wrong on those two and the impact theyād have on the D. Ā Great game tonight and should easily be player of the week.

Guys is easily our # 1 CB and is ballhawking just like he did with Green Bay. Perfect Zone CB.

Magox Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 What I like about Douglas other than his length, physicality and proven track record of production is his awareness.Ā He is always looking at the QB's eyes which is why he was able to jump on that second int.Ā He was covering another player and saw the QB looking at another WR and he decided to close in and jump the other guys route.Ā Ā A really good heady play by Douglas.Ā Ā Ā I think with Benford, Douglas and Jackson, we have good enough boundary corners to take this team as far as the offense will take them.Ā The pickup of Joseph also really stabilized this defensive line, another good pickup. Ā The offense just needs to be like it was yesterday on a consistent basis and the Bills could end up making the playoffs and being a very dangerous team.

starrymessenger Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The Douglas trade was excellent. Experienced, starting calibre CB for some 40 odd draft spots. Looks to me to be excellent when the play is in front of him or lateral. He is a playmaker with very good anticipation and field awareness. As a playmaker he has a tendency to bite on double moves and allow separation (G.Wilson had him beat over the top yesterday a couple of times but Wilson was a chicken on the run for his life). If he had a bit more foot speed to recover he'd prolly be legit #1 corner and a Pro Bowler. He's a welcome addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Ball hawk, aggressive, physical, energy.Ā Ā massive acquisition I think this is a must do. The Bills are in a cap crunch next year. Unless the plan is to burn it all down, I think it should be very reasonable to extend him a few years. His Packers deal was $7 M a year, and heavily frontloaded. Beane can easily knock the $9M for 2024 down with a signing bonus and set it to match the rising salary cap for another few years.Ā Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Watching him a bit in GB and now watching him with us, I feel like he'll be our pre injury Tre White going forward. Whoever coached him up at GB did a masterful job because he's a legit corner in this league and didn't even think he was available until the trade happened which just goes to show you as fans we have absolutely no insight on whats actually going on behind the scenes because there were no mentions whatsover about this guy even being available that I saw or read leading up to the deadline.
