    I have to start a thread on this kid. Is it just me or is he special?
    You could see the defense turn flacid when Bailey replaced him.
    I hope hes ok with that ankle.

    Did you see that tackle on that sweep at the 1? Lol .......and many other beautiful tackles.

    I agree. But I hope he not injury prone.

    What happened that caused the injury, do we know? Seemed like that was a pretty major turning point-- Amendola started making plays after that

    Glad to see Pryor living up to his draft grade, at first I thought the news about him playing out of position was just a BS excuse, but it really seems like this is his natural fit. Now it seems like Rex has a lot of players out in Buffalo playing out of position as well.

    Chandler fell on top of him and put a lot of pressure on his knee.

    I don't know if he in particular is special, but the entire secondary is pretty special when it works together. It is nice to finally have some safetys to pair with the shutdown corners.

    He's a good fit in this role. He's like an enforcer back there. His coverage skills do lack though.

    He's looked great in coverage so far. Overall the player we see now is exactly we had hoped he'd become when we drafted him and he's not even close to hitting his ceiling yet.

    He looked confident. He's comfortable, and has a strong presence now. He looked great.

    I thought it was a high ankle sprain...IDK tho....sucks :(

    He was having his best game as a pro yesterday. The D changed when he , and Skrine , were forced out.

    Also had that TD saving tackle at the 5 yd line. Thought the RB for sure would score there and Pryor somehow closed in on him like a missile and got him down.

    Remember the tackle where he fought off some straight arms with his hands.

    He looked liked a martial artist going in for the kill. I'm not gonna get crazy but wow

    He has a sprained ankle according to Rich C. We probably won't have him for the Raiders game.

    on the bright side, Mangold is listed as "sore neck".

    There's a bunch of people out there that wish we'd taken Carr. And they are probably right. But SS was a gaping whole for us for years. I am glad we picked him up

    He looked pretty good yesterday however there were a couple of plays where he didn't even make a play on the ball. He's all about making the big hit and plays very physical which is great but he needs to improve his ball skills considerably.

    I really liked Carr, I didn't like Tedy, if they took either I would've been happy. I just pretty much knew Idzzy wasn't gonna do that.

    But the bs over Pryor is downright laughable. There was still people looking to trade him just a couple of weeks ago for a kick returner, lmfao

    Pryor tweeted: "The road to recovery starts now" and "One day at a time"
