Sal said they're 5-2 with him in the lineup. I don't think it's a coincidence, but I'm not sure what kind of impact that he would also have on the run D? Expand I read somewhere else that was all Dareus...

Clyde Smith Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 I've been saying this since he went down in Cinci game. That's why turnovers went down and we started getting gashed in the run game because he was a sure tackler that wasn't on the field. With him in the lineup Qb's makes more mistakes, which amounts to more takeaways.

That seems more likely than his tackling, which is sure, but shouldn't matter that much for runs up the gut. I doubt he would have been in the middle of the field for all those (25) run plays against NO.
BillsFan130 Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Gaines is a free agent next year, right? The positive is he is a good player, the negative is he is always hurt. Will be interesting to see his contract

He is banged up quite often but when he's on the field, you can see why they traded for him. He's a great zone CB. If he can stay healthy and consistent I think him and White can be the top corners for the future. Expand Shows you how good these guys are at finding players that fit their system. Just imagine how much better we will be when they add the players they need in FA and the draft next year.
The Now Moment Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 On 11/28/2017 at 9:52 PM, TPS said: I was thinking the same regarding CBs: Tre, EJ, and LJ; then draft another somewhere in rounds 2-4. Expand EJ and Leonard just seem to fit the scheme perfectly and play well when they are healthy. EJ is only 25 and Leonard is only 27. White being only 21, Hyde only 26 and Poyer only 26 as well makes me excited for this group over the next few years if they all stay. They could have a really nice secondary soon if they add another corner to that young group.

SaviorPeterman Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Bills are 5-2 with Gaines in the lineup. But the big issues is obviously keeping this guy healthy and in the lineup. Will be interesting to see if we resign him but obviously still need to address the position either way because guys like Shareece Wright aren't the answer.

NewEra Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Stud. Sucks that he’s so brittle. Wonder how these contract negations will go. 7-8 mill a year?
26CornerBlitz Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 Would be great to keep these two together and healthy into the future.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 Who has helped their team more so far when on the field? EJ or Sammy? The fact that it’s not an incredibly obvious answer is a good sign for us.
Magox Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 Gaines when healthy has proven himself to be a valuable player on this defense. I hope they extend him, I'm guessing he'll be around the $6-$9m a year range.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 I agree that E.j has played well . This team would do well to sign him to a multi year deal . They need to add another one with one of the their early picks with or with out him , having him and another good young corner would turned the position to a strength for the next few years
