Secondary: Bills biggest strength

I agree that that the starting 4 in the secondary are the strength of the team.  EJ Gaines has played very well when he's been healthy.  The problem is that he's often injured and hasn't shown the durability to play an entire year the past two seasons.  If I'm the Bills, I'd still sign him.  Outside of that though, the Bills could use better depth.  Leonard Johnson is not really that good.  He can tackle but leaves a lot to be desired in coverage.  The rest of the crew is nothing special.

 

Also to the dude that said Gilmore looks really good, I'd tend to disagree.  He's at the same level with New England as he was in Buffalo.  He's a good CB but not elite or a "lockdown" corner, despite the huge contract he was given.  He still can't tackle and stays away from contact vs. the run and gave up some catches in Pittsburgh 

NE will regret taking that Gilmore contract on, just as Jax will regret taking Dareus contract on

For all the complaining about the offense, front 7, general lack of talent, what's giving us an edge over teams?

 

This secondary! I really think they've been the heart and soul of this team. Hyde's clowning on Landry, Tre's dancing, these guys have an attitude. It's fun to watch. Excited to see them show up for Gronkvenge next week.

 

Honorable mention to Shady ofc. You got to give credit to our stronger position groups if you don't see much on paper, but have a record showing otherwise.

The team isn't that bad dude. Taylor has Dynamic running ability and is a mid middle to your quarterback they have a Hall of Fame Dynamic running back to 6 foot 5 wide receivers Zay Jones still developing but has talent Charles Clay as a top 10 tight end really play Big Time football offensive lineman that can play really well Jerry Hughes is a poor man's Von Miller Adolphus Washington is getting better each game in a developing pass-rusher Buffalo Bills start the 98 Vikings are 2007 Patriots but they got some decent players dude sound like they suck

The secondary is filled with talented, honest- hardworking individuals.

 

plus McD and Frazier played in the secondary. They know how the coach them up. Cant forget gill byrd too.

Certainly one of the positive surprises of the season.  Now if Gaines could just stay healthy.

REMARKABLE RESULTS FOR BILLS BRAND NEW SECONDARY

Buffalo's secondary had new additions at each of their top five positions this season. In their first year together the results have far exceeded expectations.

If we get a couple of guys to ratchet up the pass rush , our secondary will control most games.

I agree with most of what you are saying and am an optimistic fan...Jerry Hughes is not a poor man's Von Miller this year.  Maybe when he was snagging double digit sacks but this year, he's dipped.  He's more of a broke mans Von Miller that's only comparison really is his size this year.  Also, Adolphus has had some moments where he's looked decent but in no way is he a starting guy.  He may be kept as a backup or a rotating guy but not a guy who should get the majority of the snaps.  He gets blown off the ball a lot especially on run plays. I think he can keep developing into a rotational guy but that's about it.  

 

That being said, we do have a lot of nice pieces.  Hopefully this offseason we will cut the fat and keep adding some really nice pieces.

Dom Capers probably didn't recognize his talent, and it worked to our benefit.  There are probably plenty of poorly coached teams from whom we can poach unrecognized talent.

He played all over the field for them last year.   I think they didnt know where to play to him.  Thought he was a jack of trades but not a 1 position starter.  More of a utility man instead of starter.
