nice to see stats backing what the eyes have been seeing for the past few years - Poyer's contract will surely rank among the top steals in all of football

Kinda wack to go off gross stats over the last 3 seasons when Thornhill only played one and Minkah played 2.

 

Other big issue with the passer rating stat is ignoring CB play. Hyde and Poyer have Tre. Chung and McCourty have Gilmore. I’m not even sure who Smith and Harris have? Is Xavier Rhodes still playing. 

 

Hyde and Poyer are good. I would have them arguably in the top 4 S duos in the NFL.

The NFL loves stars. Since neither of these guys is a true star, they don't get the appreciation as a duo that they deserve.

Excellent duo, but they do miss a lot of tackles.

I think they get recognition. Especially Hyde.

I mean, I think you can agree that Hyde is not regarded as a "star."

He's a "superstar" in Madden (not that it means much).

 

But I'm not sure either of them deserve to be considered stars. They are both solid starters that work well together. With them it's kind of a "the sum is greater than the parts" kind of thing.

 

As a tandem they are great, but I don't think individually either of them are star potential.

Don't tell "DJ Johnny Rich" how to do stats!

Shocking a podcast named “Built in Buffalo” named the Bills safeties the best in the NFL...

I thought Poyer was one of the better safeties against the run.

[GunnerBill]

The best duo they have ranked @2. Hyde and Poyer are up there though, for sure.

They both do miss tackles, but they are still good nonetheless.

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Love me some Poyer and Hyde 

 

after Tre’ of course 

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Yes, but Harrison Smith is the best safety easily since Weddle is retired now.

PFT did a draft of best safety tandems last week and never mentioned BUF.

Yet they MADE far more tackles than any other duo. Look again at the numbers.  Every team/player misses tackles. Very pleased with them.

I think the next day they apologized for overlooking them, admitting they messed up.

As long as Frazier and McD are happy with them, why should any of us care what some marginally competent number jockeys (PFT) think?
