The play in week 16 where he lit up wallace on the screen pass... he had quite a game that day.

 

Was there a UDFA signing in the NFL this year that had a bigger impact?

I'm not an expert on other UDFA'S but I'd bet he's right near the top. I think he rated out as the best nickel corner in the league or at least was a few weeks back.

Our secondary turned from a major question mark to a strength. Robey is a great find! Leodis, Gilmore, Robey, Brooks, Williams, Byrd, Searcy- very solid

Dude's a ball player. Great instincts, good tackler. Hopefully he just gets better with experience.

Great. I was reading all the "fire this one!" and "we're doomed!" posts and getting all settled in to my between-season-disgruntled-Bills-fan mode, and then you went and posted this.

 

Now I am FIRED UP and ready for the 2014 season to begin. GO BILLS!!! PLAYOFFS, BAYYYYYYBY!! WOOOO!

 

Seriously, amazing closing speed and he hits like a guy a foot taller and 50 pounds heavier. Wow.

This speaks to the mentality of some around here. Robey was a damn good nickel cb all year and wasn't drafted & didn't have any baggage (except he's short). Rogers had like 10 catches playing with Andrew Luck with a bunch of wr injuries & had a bunch of baggage.

 

Yet, Robey gets 1 page while Rogers gets 50. Makes sense.

 

 

Agree 100%, what a find this guy was. If Brooks doesn't step his game up next year, he'll be sitting in the unemployment line.

 

I thought Brooks had some moments as a rookie. But he definitely is behind Robey. Injuries have hurt Brooks. But as we have learned with McKelvin, you shouldn't give up on a young cb too early.

Robey was given every chance to succeed, with one team, from day one.

 

Rogers situation was nowhere near that...and his position coach (in Buffalo) was a bum.

 

The problem is, people not wanting a talented player on this team...because he does not act like a choir boy 24/7.

Or Robey worked his butt off everyday & was a professional from day one.

 

Coaches and people around Rogers were the reason he was kicked out of school & not drafted. Enablers. The only knock against Robey was he was short.

Love Nickell!! He makes plays and has developed nicely. I am glad that the Bills have given this talented UDFA a chance to contribute. I think that Robey is a guy that can man the slot for years to come. He's tough and a bit of a gambler that will make some plays. In addition, he is a great blitzer which is an underrated quality for a slot corner.

Every play on there, I was like, "That's my favorite!"...until the next one.

 

He reminds me of a faster version of Winfield. He has better ball skills than Winfield, though Winfield might have the edge as a better tackler.

 

By the way, he is awesome at blowing up screens. Just awesome.

I like Brooks as our #4 CB and he's a good special teamer.
