Special K Posted Monday at 11:09 PM Posted Monday at 11:09 PM Worst case scenario, he gets starter reps in these two games to prepare him for a starting job next season while resting either Rapp or Hamlin for the playoff push. Best case scenario, he improves and shows out in these next two games, and can replace Hamlin going forward. He has had his ups and downs, and his pass coverage needs a little more refinement, but he will be the future of the Safety position moving forward. I'm not sure if he is ready for the future to start right now, but I think it would be smart to give him these next two games to find out.....he is definitely the most athletic Safety on the roster.

Coffeesforclosers Posted Monday at 11:15 PM Posted Monday at 11:15 PM Agreed, especially if the Chiefs win next week and lock up the 1 seed 4 Quote
VaMilBill Posted Monday at 11:15 PM Posted Monday at 11:15 PM If your plan is to start him in the playoffs I say yes start him. But you need to get Hamlin and Rapp back in there when they are ready to get back into game shape before playoffs. Don’t want them not having played for 5 weeks entering the post-season 3 5 Quote
WotAGuy Posted Monday at 11:15 PM Posted Monday at 11:15 PM Agreed. But I’ll just step out of the room while he’s in there. 2 1 Quote
Andrew Son Posted Monday at 11:16 PM Posted Monday at 11:16 PM Problem as I see it is he’s better suited for Rapp’s position. Rapp is the clear best safety 1 2 Quote

Thoughts?? I agree with reps. I agree with resting Vets for Playoffs. I want to agree with you about the future ..Or at least very solid second year depth. Don't watch him closely unless he so using my educated faith on this Boards reporting on him since draft day 🤠 Quote

Thoughts?? I’d be fine with more reps but Bishop was targeted and was not very good in coverage on TE’s. In the first half he was beaten on 2 big 3rd-and-8 coverage. Then Henry beat him for a 3rd and goal TD. Bishop wasn’t a train wreck but a big reason why NE extended drives was because they went after him, Elam and Cam Lewis. He has a long way to go before he can be a competent starter in this defense. Edited Monday at 11:29 PM by JohnNord 1 Quote

And compensated for. But for sure why Bills defense struggled last week , those 3 . Bishop and Elam reps Cam if ya have too Quote

gonzo1105 Posted Monday at 11:54 PM Posted Monday at 11:54 PM They used him like they did in college yesterday. I watch him because I liked him a lot coming out of Utah and they ran more man yesterday. On certain scenarios he was covering Tight Ends, playing down in the box making tackles and they sent him on a couple of blitzes. Ended up being 2nd on the team in tackles yesterday including a TFL and was on Henry down near the goal line. A much better performance from him yesterday than what I’ve seen previously 1 1 Quote
Breakout Squad Posted Tuesday at 12:01 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:01 AM They need to get Hyde back in there. Quote

PoundingDog Posted Tuesday at 12:25 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:25 AM At playoff time, there is only one rule: play the best guy right NOW, that is, not the best guy in the past, not the best guy in the future. 3 Quote

He has a long way to go before he can be a competent starter in this defense. check out at 2:33 of this video. This is a great example of Bishop not quite having the reps yet to play with the right instincts and aggressiveness you need. He played way too deep here and let the TE basically get a free release and easy 10 yards before collapsing. By the way, watching these highlights, Dorian was abused in coverage by the NE tight ends.

Danger Mouse Posted Tuesday at 12:35 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:35 AM totally agree. hamlin is not the future. bishop was drafted high for a reason 1 1 Quote
