Kelly the Dog Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I think most fans knew who he was and were happy we signed him in FA. And Poyer made more highlight plays and Tre White got a lot of well deserved pub, too. But Hyde has been tremendous against the pass and run. And his obvious highlight plays will be discussed a lot. But he makes a lot of other plays as well. We have yet to give up one bomb in four games. He made two tackles on long runs that were hard tackles in the open field that are touchdowns if he misses them. He doesn't see to miss assignments or tackles. They put him back to be a reliable PR returner. He's been lights out, even with other defensive backs being lights out. And he's probably been the best overall player on defense. Many have played well.
WhoTom Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I watch a lot of Packer games, and when Hyde became a FA, I was hoping the Bills would get him. He's our best FA pickup this year.
Buffalo716 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Yep but PFF has him graded as like the 50tj best safety in the league lol He is a boss and our best safety by far. He wants an all pro

Many have played well. Not to take anything away from him, but I just can't definitively say he's the best defender so far. I don't have an issue with someone saying its him because I think there are 3 guys who each have a legit case for that. Poyer, White, and Hyde all have a legit case. The exciting thing is that coming into the season the secondary had the most question marks on D. I loved the signing and he has definitely exceeded even my positive expectations.

The exciting thing is that coming into the season the secondary had the most question marks on D. I loved the signing and he has definitely exceeded even my positive expectations. I agree with that. White and Poyer have both been terrific. White made a play today that few rookies ever make. He jumped the pass when it came toward him, went for the pass defense with one hand, missed it, but used his other hand to tackle the receiver who made the short reception and the guy went no right down. That was tremendous. But little plays Hyde makes haven't been given enough play. He's such a sure tackler.

You very rarely see Hyde unless he is making the play because teams DONT TARGET HIM He is a ball hawk and teams respect him
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Can't even begin to say how impressed I have been with both Hyde and Poyer.
GunnerBill Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Have ways been a fan. Loved the pick up and defended him all offseason from one particular poster who insisted he was a "backup level" player.
Doc Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Have ways been a fan. Loved the pick up and defended him all offseason from one particular poster who insisted he was a "backup level" player. Same here. Poyer OTOH has been a major surprise.
swnybillsfan Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 he definitely had himself a game today. i have been impressed with this defensive backfield as a whole this season, but i think he is the leader of the pack, so to speak. i am definitely happy with this signing. and it makes me feel good that he is a guy they identified, went after, and signed.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 @BuffaloBillsPR #Shoutout: @buffalobills safety @micah_hyde is making quite an impression during his first season in Buffalo
papazoid Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) jairus byrd 2.0 he's an outstanding ball hawk poyer outplayed him in first 3 games happy to have him.....he's NOT our best defensive player and probably never will be. Edited October 2, 2017 by papazoid
Nanker Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 QBs have trouble seeing him because Micah Hyde's in the backfield. I'll be here all week folks... drink up! Try the veal - it's the best in the city.

If you think he has only been a ball hawk you just haven't been watching.
Buffalo716 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 jairus byrd 2.0 he's an outstanding ball hawk pover outplayed him in first 3 games happy to have him.....he's NOT our best defensive player and probably never will be. Poyer appeared to outplay him because he was targeted a lot more and got more chances to make plays. Hard to look good when the play doesn't go your way... Hyde is all around by far our best safety
BADOLBILZ Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 If you think he has only been a ball hawk you just haven't been watching. Made a shoe string tackle to prevent a long TD run too. He's good. As high profile as he was at the end of the season for Green Bay as they went on a tear to defy the odds and make the playoffs yet again...... it was kind of a surprise he wasn't a hotter commodity in FA.
QB Bills Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Hughes has my vote, but Hyde is right there. What a surprise he has been.
njbuff Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 He brings a much needed winning attitude to this team, which desperately needed it. if that was his greatest contribution, that would have made me happy, but he is a LOT better than I gave him credit for. Let's hope he keeps it up.
