On that deep incompletion to Worthy (which was almost DPI) it was great watching Hairston essentially toying with him... displaying for all the world to see that he's just as fast as Worthy but bigger and stronger. Yes, but people on this board complain about everything. Take me for instance, I complain about people complaining! My best defense here is a standard defense and solidly true. Every player has a weakness; keon Coleman: speed, Dalton Kincaid: mass, Josh Allen, Kryptonite, and Cole Bishop: speed. The best coaches can hide and minimize exposure to those flaws and deficits. It finally looks like the supporting cast of Bishop is playing a role. 1 Quote

I like how he played recently, but feel its a bit early to call him "the ultimate eraser". We're only two months past him be put on a poster by Derrick Henry. Quote

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted Sunday at 03:26 PM Posted Sunday at 03:26 PM (edited) Has he turned the corner or was it just 1 solid game where he played out of his mind? I really hope he’s turned the corner but I know by now not to get too high or low. Edited Sunday at 03:27 PM by BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Quote

Don't want to jinx him, and it may be a bit early, but I would enjoy eating a health serving of crow. Make me do it Cole! Quote

Having guys who succeed in doing their 1/11th around you is nothing but helpful, to say the least. Quote

Cole ran a 4.45 and is flying over the field I wouldn't say speed is a weakness lol he's the fastest safety we've had in McDermott's tenure 1 1 Quote
