prophrox2 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 He may not be great yet, but he sure does get to the quarterback. Glad he is finally getting another chance!!
RevWarRifleman Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 He may not be great yet, but he sure does get to the quarterback. Glad he is finally getting another chance!! I'll agree w/ this title.
John Cocktosten Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 He really has a nice speed rush. Why did it take Merriman getting injured to notice this?
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 He really has a nice speed rush. Why did it take Merriman getting injured to notice this? Because they are paying Merriman a sh*t ton of money. Just sayin
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 This is the first time, in a long time, I have no complaints about the Defense!! There was a PASS RUSH.. They STUFFED THE RUN.. They did NOT MISS TACKLES.. Totally happy tonight and pray this team can do this every week.. GO BILLS!!! BTW... Sorry.. I should have said this first.. Moats is an Upgrade... Go Bills!!!
Glory Bound Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 He really has a nice speed rush. Why did it take Merriman getting injured to notice this? I noticed it when he knocked out Lord Pevre & ended his streak.
maryland-bills-fan Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) I think they were giving Mermaid a chance to get back to being an all pro player. Didn't happen. Move on. Edited October 30, 2011 by maryland-bills-fan
bbb Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I haven't really seen or heard much love for Moats today. I thought his early pressure started the ball rolling......Why was he ever moved inside and there was even talk on this board of him being cut in camp. He seems like a natural pass rusher to me. I forget what play it was where somebody else got the sack, but it was in part because Moats beat the lineman, then beat the back who tried to pick him up.

I'll preface this with, Beck at QB and injuries on the Skins OL, but I thought this was a coming out party for the guys picked in the last 2 years. Moats, Dareus, Batten, Carrington, Shep, and even Troup made an appearance. The Ralph is going to rumble next week! Edited October 31, 2011 by TPS
Maury Ballstein Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I am with ya.....Moats is solid.....I have no problem with him and Sheppard being out there......Moats always brings it.
Billshank Redemption Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 hes a good pure pass-rusher. What i was most impressed with was how well our secondary held down the fort today and it was nice to see byrd get a pick as well he hasn't gotten much but his overall play has been night and day

Loved that corner blitz he did.....I can't believe how he made tackling go from a weakness of his to being about as good as it gets.

I forget what play it was where somebody else got the sack, but it was in part because Moats beat the lineman, then beat the back who tried to pick him up. Agreed. He's very skilled rushing from the outside. He was also tough today on the stunts (Bills ran a lot of stunts today it seemed).

I forget what play it was where somebody else got the sack, but it was in part because Moats beat the lineman, then beat the back who tried to pick him up. That play was on one of Dareus sacks. He beat the LT, forcing Beck to step up to Dareus arms. This guy will be the next James Harrison without the sheer stupidity.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 He really has a nice speed rush. Why did it take Merriman getting injured to notice this? Um, 'cuz one of the D's big concerns going into the year was shutting down the run, and Moats wasn't so good at that last year?
BillsGuyInMalta Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Moats needs to be a focal point of this Defense. I just re-watched the game and he was constantly getting into Beck's face. His stat line may not show it, but he was a huge reason why our Defense played so well yesterday.

Does that mean that he couldn't play on obvious passing downs? Um, think before you speak. Edited October 31, 2011 by John Cocktosten
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I'm actually okay with the (attempted but failed) decision to try Moats at ILB. I think the staff loved the idea of getting Moats and Merriman on the field at the same time. It didn't work, and with Merriman gone, we're getting to see Moats shine.
