ShakAttack Posted March 20 Posted March 20 This thread proves that most of us can be talked into liking just about any signing. Pretty much everyone would have preferred Blackmon before this signing, and some still do, but it is only a matter of time until we are enamored by his 2 SB rings, impressive stat line despite only 28 career starts and the fact that he “would have” been a starter had he been on a different team, he’s cheaper for the Bills (oh and he hasn’t torn an ACL / Achilles yet either) ….. and therefore he’s a better signing than Blackmon. Just wait. 2 1 1 1 Quote

Was Hamlin not inactive for most of the season while Lewis was? Did the Bills not just give Lewis a new 2 year deal. I'd say hes more in their future plans than Hamlin. 3 Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Just now, Shaw66 said: Cover One says Bills liked him at Senior Bowl. The Bills usually sign guys they've followed for a while. They generally know what they're getting. They must like him as a sleeper starter. As another poster referenced, he has 8 INT, 5 Fumble Recoveries and 4 TDs in 28 starts. Bonus 3 playoff INTs. 7 tackles and a Pass Defended in KC SB win He can line up at FS, SS or Nickel 4 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 20 Posted March 20 He was on the lower end of available starting safeties. I don’t think this prevents another safety added at some point. But having Rapp and Edwards gives us 2 younger capable safeties to develop. 1 Quote
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted March 20 Posted March 20 42 minutes ago, JerseyBills said: 8 ints and 5 Fumble recoveries in 28 starts is actually very impressive. Remember Poyer before coming here was considered depth n turned into an all pro. McD is a DB whisperer and he clearly has some potential to work with Elam must be hard of hearing then … the whispers aren’t registering 6 Quote

Mat68 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Coming off a good stretch of play. I think he starts. Time will tell. An interior Dlineman and interior olineman and you could turn your attention to the draft for the most part imo. Quote

Still, only a one-year deal, so he will be competing for a job. 4 Quote

ColoradoBills Posted March 20 Posted March 20 3 minutes ago, MJS said: If there is a position I trust McDermott with, it is safety. If he thinks he can make it work with Rapp and Edwards, that works for me. But they may also draft a guy. We'll see. I see a 2nd or 4th round rookie safety pushing Edwards and Rapp for a starting position. Hamlin having to fight off competition for S#4. Hope Beane double dips with a 5th-6th rounder to compete.

Dillenger4 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 You guys kill me. All humour. Edwards AND Rapp start. Case closed. We have our Safety tandum. LOVE IT!!! dude can ball. He hits hard like Rapp, and can cover ground. Now move up in draft and get us the DE we need! LATUUUUUUUU Also - the little birds are chirping... Hyde might come back to Buff. Veteran presense - but with Edwards and Rapp we good. 1 1 Quote

Roundybout Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Younger rising talent. Fine by me. Still would have liked Blackmon better. Quote

Warriorspikes51 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 not a single post mentioning the inside info we can gain from the Chiefs Defense! Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Since I said whatever safety they sign is my breakout player then Mike Edwards is my breakout player next year. Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 (edited) Looks like Poyer. Arm brace, number, movement Edited March 20 by Warriorspikes51 1 Quote
