Dont disagree but it seemed like Hairston is on the coaching standard on the field too. 
 

Every play he was communicating with other guys. Very rarely saw it as much in a single game from the whole secondary prior to him being in the lineup. 

I saw that as well.  My guess is he was confirming he was in the right spot or had the correct assignment.  Only once did I see Bishop move him from where he was lined up.  Kid looked good.  High hopes.  If Beane got that pick right and if Bishop gets a little better, 4/5 of the secondary is set for next year.  I think Taron will be around for another year.  And if Hancock keeps progressing then 5/5 spots in the secondary are set.   That would be huge.  That leaves the top of the draft for two WRs and DT.  I'd add a mid-round safety and LB as well.

Definitely, high hopes indeed! Better to communicate your doubts or second guessing before the snap than have to react if you’re wrong. Love to see it!

I guess zion logue is too young to bring to active roster.  He has not been in the system long enough.

Wait, is Logue 19 years old too, like Tremaine?

Is it ? How good is he now? He’s still injured, is he even near 100%.

 

He’s not a solution.

Fair points about the health of Davis and Bean was 100% correct not to pay him 13 million dollars per year.  At the same time and considering all of his short comings what Bills WR among Coleman, Moore, Palmer & Shavers has shown even a fraction of the big plays and production that Davis did over the course of a season?  I hold out hope for Palmer but that's it.

I really thought Poyer looked strong in run support at Carolina

He made the tackles he was supposed to make.  Huge improvement.

Problem is that with him and Bishop out there, there is no one that can cover anyone in man. They tried with Bishop a few times and he got roasted.

I can't wait until Hamlin comes back from IR

 

He's going to restore law and order to this defense!!

Honestly, I think Kumerow would see significant snaps if he were in this WR room. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Despite all the love for Hancock (who had a huge blown coverage at the end of half on a deep post bailed out by the Bosa sack) I thought Po played a very solid game in run support. Probably the right move right now. 
 

I am curious why they like Hancock at S in 2025 and if he’ll have a look at the nickel in 2026. Taron might have played the worst half of football I’ve ever seen from him. 
 

I don’t love th Phillips addition, but they must feel okay will Ogunjobi at the 1T even though he was a bit of a mixed bag on Sunday. 
 

Ed will sorely be missed and yet the state of the DL hasn’t felt this strong in a while. Between Bosa, Groot, Hoecht, Walker and Epinessa, they’ve got some juice to really collapse a pocket. 
 

With Ed down, I’ll be curious to see who they look to in those 3rd and long Nascar front. They were having a lot of success with Bosa and the overload of Ed/Hoecht/Groot forcing 1v1s as well as a variety of pressure looks on the weak side. 
 

It is really a shame they lost Ed, but I think they’ll be okay up front. The back 7 continues to be my biggest area of concern on D 

[BigAl2526]

I think Gabe Davis, assuming he's healthy has to be one of the favorites for a spot on the PS.  I suspect Micah Hyde is retired for good.   I wouldn't rule out Ankou, but I hope they can find better.  I can't imagine them signing Wilkins though.  He just doesn't seem like he would fit on the Bills especially with his history versus Josh.  I like Hamler, but I think he's too much like Samuel and Moore.   I would think they want a different body type and projected role.  To be honest, I think there are other positions where the need is greater.  Yeah, Buffalo could use a great WR, but they aren't going to be found on a practice squad.

Gabe Davis about to be activated off Practice Squad IR 

Is it kinda sad that I'm actually looking forward to it?

 

I keep envisioning the 13 sec and Pittsburgh game and keep dreaming that "Big Game Gabe" walks through the door.

[Lagoon Blues]

Such strange situations we continue find ourselves in.  Something something common denominator.

At this point, I'd be excited too.

 

Shakir & Gabe will probably be more competent than Coleman & co. Can't get much more depressing than what we've seen the last 3 games. 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Also, I must say: 52 looks kind of cool on Big Phil.

This also means there's two veteran spots open on the Practice Squad.

 

 

 

This is a real Bush move...

I really thought it was gonna be Zion Logue instead of Jordan Phillips, not that it really matters...or that they might have looked outside the team for a temporary solution.

 

Like most NFL teams, the Bills place a much higher premium on pass rush than they do run stop.

 

You were an English Lit major weren't you?

Poyer is a coach on the field for Bishop and Hairston.  Probably not much of a downgrade from what Rapp was offering.  Helps in the locker room.  Good move.

 

It's really hard to imagine that Poyer is a downgrade from Rapp... almost impossible actually.
