I thought Star had another nice outing today.
I know he's fodder for good jokes right now, but he's looked very, very good in his first two games so far.
You know he led the team in tackles today right?
I'm not saying he is great or even that he had a good game, but some of this criticism is badly misplaced.
I don't think he's a good enough ballplayer to sink a bunch of cap space into, but that doesn't mean he's terrible.
I thought they got better as the game went along for sure, and by the second half that pressure was indeed consistent.
But I also remember thinking to myself at one point during the first half that I thought the Wash OLine was holding up surprisingly well.
I thought they played well for the most part; interior pressure was a problem for Washington for much of the day. They also did so without a lot of help from scheming or extra rushers. And Heinecke took some serious bruises in the process.
But they weren't so dominant that I'd call people clueless that happened to not see it that way.
I don't think that's really fair. I thought the D-front played pretty well, but they weren't soooo dominating (especially at the Ends) that there is no room for disagreement.
I will say that for the second week in a row, the Bills D administered a physical beating to an opposing QB. That dude is getting some tub time this week.
Yeah, that was big. Props to McDermott for trusting his offense to operate from its own end with only :26 to play with.
Also interesting that the very next time they touched the ball after that, they ripped off a 90+ yard, 17 play TD drive.
