He's tiny but supposedly quick. Sure. ? If everyone else that has been playing DB for the past 3-4 years (such as Johnson, Hamlin, Neal and Lewis) all get hurt, then there is a chance. He is not “tiny” for a safety. He is actually bigger than Milano at LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No long term commitment needed. Somehow they can make it work with the cap. I definitely trust the FO and coaches with our secondary and think we can make it work with what we have but I do love me some bates. He was a beast at WF (oops thought it was UCF at first lol) and wanted us to nab him back then, he’s got some ball hawking skills like a center fielder. I’d be down with him coming here for the year to win a SB Edited September 24, 2022 by NeverOutNick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if we see a big name S come in. I imagine they will add depth to the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Collins is a coverage liability and one of the key tenants on the Bills D is the safeties be interchangeable so it makes it impossible to know what both will be doing pre snap. So I guess it makes it pretty unlikely they sign him unless they use him as a better version of Siran Neal.

Johnson, Hamlin, and Lewis have been in this system awhile so I see them giving their guys a shot first before considering a different move I’ve watched JJ Jaquon Johnson for a few years now and I have full confidence in him. I think he has elite anticipation. Damar Hamlin has been here two years and I’m not so sure about him. Both are lessor athletes to Poyer and Hyde, but I don’t think it will really matter that much….we’re talking split seconds here… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par73 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 With the two rookie CB's, I felt the Hyde/Poyer combo was a big key to stabilizing the secondary this year. Wish they had signed a veteran CB in the off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Lets see how they go. I got faith in the the young guys and Johnson. Probably a little more conservative than they would want to be. Benefit of being a deep roster. Bills still favored in Miami. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays safety he would be better in Hyde's role. Lol what? Bernard too small for safety? He's 30lbs bigger than Poyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Think we play it out till the trade deadline. If FO thinks we need to add someone to the room they will make necessary move to fill hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
