KellyToughII Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I don't think many GM's or coaches in the NFL would trade Stephon Gilmore and Aaron Williams for Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. Really? Depends on the system. And you cant count Aaron Williams at all, he needs to retire. That said, have we drafted yet? Seems every GM agrees this is the deepest DB draft possibly ever. We can get TWO starters in the first 4 rounds. So lets all just relax and let the offseason play out.
Chandler#81 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Thank you for explaining that too me. I really just never knew that wow learning so much from the condescending window lickers around here bruisin' cruisin'..
Bray Wyatt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Williams is a better safety than Hyde. But as far as versatility and durability, Hyde has more value as a player. I'll take slightly reduced safety play for a full season of play. JMO Aaron Williams played 10 games out of a possible 32 the last two years. Hyde played 31 out of 32 and has only missed one game in the last 4
Dorkington Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Depends if Aaron still plays somewhere else and stays healthy If he does, then great for him, and I'm wrong.
offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I'm not disagreeing with you but I am not agreeing with you either. It is way to early to tell. Let's see what happens on the football field. I will say this, Aaron Williams will probably retire because of his injuries and if he doesn't he is one hit away from good bye NFL. You would rather take a chance on him staying and getting injured again or retiring instead of getting a quality safety now while you have a chance. The money we are saving on these guys will help us in other areas. We simply couldn't afford Gilmore and his shaky inconsistencies. He didn't play like he wanted to be here. How could you shell out big dollars for his up and down performance last season? I'm sure he will be an annual pro bowl player with the Pats but he didn't show us that type of play last year. I'm not saying we will be better but I honestly would take Hyde over Williams knowing what may happen with Williams. Lets hope Seymour gets better under our new coaching staff and we probably will draft another DB. Edited March 10, 2017 by offsides#76FredSmerlas
BuffAlone Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I am not pretending anything. There Re many scouting reports that talk about his ball tracking abaility. And that happens when his eyes went into the backfield. It happened at FSU and it jas happened here and been talked about by out own coaches. But again guess we all just make **** up and really dont know anything about football Help get them yet another ring so i am sure they are ok with that 4M they gave Hogan again...NOT the question! I asked if he was worth it for US

Our secondary was a complete mess without him last year, even though he missed most of the previous season as well. Too much risk. We're better today, imo, than we were for most of last year.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Tried to find some good Poyer footage. He's going to fit right. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-cant-miss-plays/0ap3000000717428/Can-t-Miss-Play-Gronk-bulldozes-through-Browns-for-34-yards
Magox Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Appears? It is a tire fire However be ready to be flamed. The Rose color glasses of "no matter who the Bills sign it is an awesome signing" are out in full force last two days I don't know, but call me crazy, maybe...... just maybe........ Bills fans are waiting till after FA period and the draft to make their final opinions known. Crazy, right??
jahnyc Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The real test for the front office will be finding upgrades rather than stop gaps. Really early, but we need to find talent that will be with the team for an extended period of time and represent an upgrade over the talent being replaced.
BrooklynBills Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Still many good vet CBs out there: Alteraun Verner Morris Claiborne Brandon Carr Prince Amukarama
Magox Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I watched him LIVE. He gets lost when eyes go in backfield. Which is exactly why he has Ball tracking Problems. He will struggle in zone concepts because he gets lost when eyes go in backfield. So your anecdotal amateur opinion is of more value than this guy who makes a living out of it? Got it
Pirate Angel Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Going back to the 4-3 should allow more pressure on the qb without blitzes and less confusion then Hex had...Also McDermott runs more zone coverages lessoning the need for a big physical corner like Gilmore...Not like he played all that physical anyway
Magox Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 No I'm as critical as anyone of the Bills, but making off the wall statements that don't even mesh with his scouting report is beyond me. Plenty of things to be critical of, I don't need to pretend I was watching Darby's eyes at FSU while he was in zone coverage. Clearly MAJ was paying close attention to Darby, because he was so highly touted and all and he observed every single football player he has ever watched in college football. Of course it is weaker. There is no debate. The Bills lost their #1 Corner. You can say that the Patriots overpaid but you can't dispute that the Bills just lost the hardest piece to find in a secondary. #1 Corners don't fall from the sky. There is reason teams pay $$$$ for them in FA. Can we wait until at least preseason to form our judgements?
xsoldier54 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I don't think many GM's or coaches in the NFL would trade Stephon Gilmore and Aaron Williams for Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. Williams was never going to play again and Gilmore was not worth 14 million a year. Hyde was listed by ESPN as one of the best signings of the day. Neither will replace Gilmore. That will come in the draft, but either one is better than Williams right now.
Dr. Fong Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 It is weaker. But luckily for the Bills the season doesn't start tomorrow.
SoFFacet Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 It is weaker on paper. But unless they shelled out for Gilmore or magically healed AW's neck, that was inevitable. They will almost certainly pick DBs at the draft as well. What matters is how they come together as a unit to execute the new scheme. Because they were **** at the old scheme.
HappyDays Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I loooooove seeing this. hahah the best team, a coaching staff in the NFL believes he does. I'll go with their perspective over anyone's on this board. we will miss Gilmore. This is such a lazy mindset. The Patriots have made and will continue to make bad moves, it is not like they are infallible.
nedboy7 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I'm not sure about the backfield but it seems the fan base is getting more and more annoying.
Chandler#81 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 LOW HANGING FRUIT BOBBY! Stay down there for awhile get and your credibility up. Didn't your Momma teach you its not nice to speak poorly of the recently departed?... So your anecdotal amateur opinion is of more value than this guy who makes a living out of it? Got it
