We make the most head scratching moves at times.......we draft bene who is a good replacement for captain but then you stick a guy who's been playing safety for 6 years at nickel after a Achilles injury against teams fastest, quick guys??? I understand benes injured but come on Harper is a liability in the pass game if were going to sign somebody to help that's fine or are we going to keep trolling Lester?

Will say the same thing I've said elsewhere.

Harper is a different kind of safety than Godfrey was. He's a smart, wily veteran type who's generally in the right place, knows how to read a quarterback and doesn't get fooled all that easily. He lacks some in athleticism, but he's the kind of player who could absolutely feast on quarterback mistakes behind a high pressure defensive line.

We used to have that. This year, not so much :(

On the flipside, Godfrey was never especially cerebral as a safety. His athleticism was really the best thing he had going for him and that pretty much went out the window when he got injured. Truth be told, he probably never should have been switched to safety but John Fox thought it'd work (it didn't) and Ron Rivera didn't fix the mistake until after what could have helped him be a decent corner was already taken away.

Shame, really.

Again why did Harper suck and was losing his job in NO with a defense getting a lot of pressure as well?

      Bills predictions

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah it is nice seeing some improvement on the defensive side and the young guys.   I don’t want to think about the future much if Bryce doesn’t heal and we are kept in this limbo via an incomplete test. It is depressing  I don’t have quite as dim a view of the 24 draft class as you do   I have modest hopes for XL compared to none. I like CSW.  Am a little cooler on Sanders but at the same time realized this week that Morgan getting that future 2nd for moving down turned into Scourton. I think. Jackson is a real value in exchange for the guy we took with the 7th. I don’t expect anything from Brooks but Wallace seems to have improved enough to not bust. And Coker is in with them, but is giving us nothing this year. So far, and it is almost half over     I hope Andy still has enough to make watching the offense less of a claustrophobic experience. And there is a small chance we upset the Bills but just playing them tough and making it a fun game to watch will be enough.

      Bryce haters gunna hate.  Can't change that. Bryce has been pretty durable all things considered.  A couple minor injuries considering how much he was hammered year 1.  And he still takes hits.  Dude is tough. The play in question is a football play, poo happens.  That's ultimately what happened.  Guys running around, trying to stop Young and stuff happened.  Sucks but that's how it goes. For me, I'd rather see Young play.  He will either prove that he's the Dude, a JAG (leaning heavily right now), or an outright bust (some of you were there on draft night, lol)

      Seth Walder: Regrading 8 trades from the 2024 NFL trade deadline

      I think we need to let the 2025 class develop. Remember at one point early during last season the 2024 class was gonna be a killer. And we had all kinds of people chirping about how the 2021 Draft was the greatest of all time. Early returns are promising. Let's hope it continues.
