    I expect a couple rookie mistakes from Hairston if he gets in the game.  But it's definitely worth it as a possible upgrade over the rest of the season. 

     

    Yeah, it's not going to be all rainbows and unicorns for these first few starts.

    We don't know yet if he can actually cover anybody, but that unreal athleticism should help in recovering from the inevitable mistakes.

    His feet and hips are absolutely world class.

    I understand that even at full capacity he is a replacement worthy player. But we should be careful what we wish for.

    If he heals from this injury and gets back to his 2024 form, is that better than an old Poyer? Might be. We know its better than a healthy Hamlin.

     

     

    I don't think Poyer and Hamlin are his competition any more.

    I would not be at all surprised if McDermott cannot keep Jordan Hancock off the field any longer.

    This is a question for any Ohio State fans on here.

     

    #1  How was his tackling in college?

    #2 Was he asked to play a lot of zone coverage in college?  

     

    Not a Buckeye fan but see quite a bit of them some years.

    He is an excellent tackler. Not a huge guy that overpowers people but more a technically proficient guy that knows how to put people on the ground and is very willing to do so.

    OSU ran a ton of press man and took pride in it up until Matt Patricia came on board this year and he's since incorporated a lot more zone.

    There's a caveat though in that Hancock wasn't just a corner for them; in addition to working at corner on both the boundary and slot, he also spent a ton of time playing safety for them, especially in his last year. He might have even spent half his snaps at FS in his senior year and the OSU defense definitely benefited from it.

    He's a really smart player that can do a lot of things because he understands the defense as a whole and can play multiple roles in it.

    I think safety is his best fit and he can eventually thrive in that role; I'd much rather see him out there learning OTJ than watch Poyer out there trying to keep up with skill players 10 years younger than him.

    Bills are just 4 games away from being the most patient fanbase in the Super Bowl era.

    To imply that Bills fans aren’t patient after 8 seasons of generational QB with no Super Bowl appearances is patently absurd to me.

     

    For one thing, it's only been 5 seasons that he could be considered to be an All-Pro QB, not 8.

    And in the last 3 of those 5 years,  he's only thrown for 300yrds 1 time in 7 playoff games; he's had sub 200yrd games more often than that.

    So let's not get too crazy about how perfect he is and how much the Bills are failing him.

     

    Anyways, as I stated in my post,  I'm talking about the last few weeks in which Bills fans have become a complete and total embarrassment.
