    One of my Favorite Bills right now....

    I have to say I didn't think this player would or should have made the team but he has quickly become a favorite of mine.

    Drayton Florence.

    This guy is ripped for one, he has an awesome physique for a CB.

    Second, he has been our best CB this year. The guy is all over the place, tipping passes, making tackles behind the line and generally getting blanket coverage on WRs.

    Im glad this guy is signed for another year because if we can generate more pressure next year on QBs he is going to be a force.

    I think we have the best secondary in the NFL period. A healthy Byrd and Whitner at FS and SS respectively with Florence, McGee and Mckelvin as our top 3. Not to mention Reggie Corner who has stepped in admirably for McGee and Lankster who is up and coming.

    Whoever inherits this team is getting one heck of a unit.

      Spencer Johnson is just another player that was misused by this team. This guy is way more talented and stout at the POA than Kyle Williams yet he rides the bench week in and week out.

      Disappointing. He and Stroud could have been a solid tandem all year.

        Yes, Florence has been spectacular all year. Sweet pickup!

          I agree on Florence, he has been great and he can hit.

            It really is not surprising that the defensive backs would be one of the stronger units on the team given the number of high draft picks the team has invested in that unit.

            How many defensive backs have been drafted in the top 15 picks in the draft in the last ten years? Probably less than 20 and the Bills account for two of those.

              You mean the guy that everybody wanted cut in the preseason? I totally agree with you and was one of the few who actually thought he shouldn't have even been mentioned as a possible cut in the preseason. This guy has played extremely well and is a very good player.

                I think he could play end in a 3-4 if the team wants to go in that direction.

                    What about Chris Draft? That interception may have actually saved us the game. I realize that it was extremely early in the game when he made that play, but going down 7-0 at that point may have drained the Bills of all confidence and hope of winning that game. He read that play perfectly.

                      Let's not forget BillsWin who broke the news of Drayton Florence signing hours before rotoworld/espn. lol But in all seriousness, nice pickup by the Bills.

                        Chris Draft played so well, he almost deserves his own thread!! Seems we found a LB better then Mitchell, and we found him bagging groceries!

                        OK, you're right, one game at a time.
