It’s great to see Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer back together for their seventh season in Buffalo. Their chemistry and experience in the Bills' secondary have been a cornerstone of the team's defensive success.

Key Takeaways from Their Comments

1. The Bond Between Hyde & Poyer is Stronger Than Ever

• Hyde was out for most of 2022 with a neck injury, while Poyer played through multiple injuries but still made a huge impact.

• Poyer, despite hitting free agency, chose to stay with Buffalo, signing a two-year, $12.5M deal.

• Their on-field communication is instinctive—Poyer noted that they barely need words to know what the other is doing.

2. Poyer’s Toughness & Determination

• He played last season through a crescent tear, elbow injury, and foot issues, but Buffalo went 13-1 when he was active.https://www.pinterest.com/pin/866661522045402883

• He admitted it was the hardest season of his career, but he wouldn’t change it because it showed him what he could endure.

3. Living in the Moment

• Both Hyde and Poyer recognize that their careers aren’t endless and are focused on making the most of every opportunity.

• Poyer emphasized the importance of trusting his teammates (Milano, Tre'Davious White, Taron Johnson, Dane Jackson).

What This Means for the Bills in 2024

• A healthy Hyde-Poyer duo is crucial for Buffalo’s defense to stay elite.

• Their leadership and experience will be key as the Bills look to make another deep playoff run.

• Poyer wants to play 100% of snaps—if he and Hyde stay healthy, the secondary could be one of the NFL’s best again.

Buffalo’s defense has been built on continuity and trust, and having Hyde and Poyer leading the way again could make all the difference this season.
