Will we see Hairston "shadowing" Worthy on Sunday??

[Nuncha]

Think the 12 reps was a test to see how his knee would hold up.  I have a feeling he will play a lot today.

[prissythecat]

Xavier Worthy is averaging 36 yards per game.   Obviously an elite threat.

[BVBILLS]

Nothing like that old predicable defense! Wouldn't want Mahomie to second guess himself.

Has McD ever done this? I don't recall ever seeing him have a CB follow a WR

 

Benford "traveled" with Tetairoa McMillan for nearly the entire Carolina game.

Again, it was 27 reps, not 12 reps.

Against the Chiefs I expect McD to get conservative and go back to his old stalwart, the soft shell zone.

Hairston was drafted to guard opposing WR's with speed, and Worthy fits that bill.

 

How much more will Hairston play this week than his 12 reps vs Carolina??, and will he be exclusively responsible for guarding Worthy when he is on the field??

 

I think this will be an interesting aspect of the game to follow tomorrow.

 

Go Bills!!

 

EDIT: Hairston had 27 total reps, but 12 coverage reps.

Hairston better be out there shadowing SOMEBODY. Chiefs have speed allover their WR squad. The Bills are slow in the DB department.

I doubt we have him following honestly. 
 

almost certainly they will find each other a few times though

I bet Hairston and White keep trading reps regardless.

 Rice is my concern

Two high.

We don't have  enough juice play these guys one on one very often.

And really need to disrupt and deep routes early

Simon beat me to it.  I do think Hairston’s snaps will increase, but this is one of McDs best units in years past, so he’ll know what to do.  This is a big test.  Hancock hopefully is learning at light speed from Poyer, and his snaps increase as well.  Tre and Jordan can mentor the youngins so they learn on the fly.

Hancock might be a key piece this week and moving forward. Hopefully he moved in with Rapp and Poyer to study !

well he doesn't have a real 4 man front on the line. So there will be changes.

 4-3 ?

 3-4 LOL

[Special K]

Hairston sure "shadowed" Worthy on that deep ball......and he is just as fast as Worthy!!!!

 

Awesome!!!!!

Worthy stinks

 

 

2rec / 5yds before the last drive

[milfandcookies]

Update: he was worthy 

[HappyDays]

He was sensational today. They need to make him a full time starter.

Was refreshing to see the zebra's didn't have an opinion on that play.

Worthy is the most overrated player in the nfl I’ve been saying it every week lol he’s ok but gets talked about like he’s prime Jerry rice.  Coleman retained his lead in career receiving yards per game over worthy in this one 😂 

 

if the bills drafted worthy I’m fairly certain he’d be another Curtis Samuel…a lot of his success is Reid wizardry causing busted coverages…we don’t really have that

AND Hairston knows to turn his freakin head around and look for the ball.  So many young CBs just dont do that!!!

[strive_for_five_guy]

We’ve got a player here.  Hairston looks way stronger than I expected too.

[BigAl2526]

I don't know that the Bills will start him going forward, but he certainly looks like he can handle it.  

[Billl]

Hairston looked really, really good.

[finn]

Such a pleasant surprise. After being injured in training camp, I thought he would be another Cole Bishop when he returned after his own injury last year. But he's playing like a first-rounder. Exciting to have him, Bishop, and Walker all contributing big time. Wonder if Hancock will stop up. Too bad Dorian Strong was injured; he was looking good, too.
