Revisiting the Tre White to Safety thread

And yet - we haven't had a 300 yard passer since the cleveland game.  And that was almost half in garbage time (they were down 3 scores).

 

Hard to play outside technique and break up a pass inside.  Mediocre throw, maybe you can get there, but on a good throw even if you make a play its probably a TD.  

 

They tend to give up a lot of short stuff early in games too as they tend to play off early.  

Plus Taron J probably out at nickel.   Think of this backend:   Jacquan J (molasses), Siran Neal (but hey, great against the run...), Cam Lewis (just a risk all the way around), Poyer and Tre on 1 leg each.   This is as bad as it can get.

Might be enough against McCorkle.  Won't be good enough in the playoffs.

Is TJ expected to miss time beyond a week?  

 

Buffalo is 8th in NY/A surrendered this year.   18 pass TDs allowed, which is 6th in the NFL.  14 interceptions which is tied for 8th.  

 

And they have missed hyde for most of the year.  White missed a ton of time.  Poyer, Edmunds, Milano, Benford, Elam have all missed time.  

 

We also don't have the benefit of some cupcake schedule either.  Of the top 5 passing offenses by NY/A they played 3 of them across 4 games.  

 

The team has been banged up ALL year - and i would not bet against them.

Tre does what Tre does really well when fully healthy.  I'm just hoping he reaches 100% soon.

 

I don't think Tre can do what Poyer and Hyde have done so well: play FS and SS interchangeably.  Though I suppose it's not too crazy to say desperate times require desperate measures.  Hyde's out.  Hamlin's out.  Poyer's playing on a torn meniscus...

 

Lady Luck can be a b*tch.  Our four best defensive weapons against the pass (Poyer, Hyde, White, Miller) are either out entirely or playing hurt.
