Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Thoroughly enjoyed this. Something I haven't seen for a while: Bills earn enough sacks to warrant its own video https://www.buffalobills.com/video/every-bills-sack-against-sam-darnold-week-1 Crack a cold one, sit back, and enjoy! 2 2
whatdrought Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I love sacks on 3rd in long cause it shows the whole D is doing their job- it's also incredibly demoralizing for the O, and a huge moral boost for the D. 2
Marv's Neighbor Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Hopefully next week's will have an intermission. Those are great! 1 1
Bookie Man Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 H-U-U-U-U-G-H-E-S. And Poyer is a sneaky good blitzer off the edge. 2
clearwater cadet Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 It might just be me, but i tend to think Darnold hold the ball a bit to long. They always talk about the qb having that internal clock in his head. I think he's a good player, but maybe something he missing.
Cripple Creek Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I'm not certain of the stand alone threadworthiness of this topic, but, I'll go with it. If Eli starts on Sunday you'll have 1.5 times the sacks, minimum. He just can't move and Oliver is going to make Hughes's life so easy.
Prickly Pete Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Darnold looked dorky. He is not very athletic. 1

So he was either holding it, or throwing it to his first read. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 The clip replayed the 4th sack at the end, but I didn't mind one solitary bit. What a refreshing change of pace to previous years. However, I'm asking for some INT and/or fumble recovery clips also for the D please! 1
dollars 2 donuts Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Everyone talks about Hughes today (as they should), but let me tell you The Lorax is going to have one hell of a final season. 1
thebandit27 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Watching that again, Ed Oliver was absolutely fantastic.

What a consummate professional and has absolutely bought in to what McD has been trying to build here, with a motor to boot that Father Time has had just as much trouble corralling as Marcia! Class act! 1

MDH Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) 1st sack - Jets double team Oliver leaving everybody else singled up. Millano does a nice spin move to beat his guy from the front side. Darnold sees this and moves to his blind side, right into Hughes' waiting arms. 2nd sack - Jets double Star while the Bills send a 5th rusher - Poyer. Poyer comes totally free from the right side. Hughes also beats his man cleanly. Poyer gets there first and notches the sack. 3rd sack - Darnold actually has plenty of time here, over 3 seconds to find somebody. Eventually Shaq comes free, followed by Alexander. Shaq chases him down and notches the sack. Secondary obviously did a fine job on this one as Darnold should have been able to find somebody in the time he had. 4th sack - Jets have 3 blocking 2 in the middle vs. Oliver and Alexander. They start out doubling Alexander before switching it up to Oliver. This leaves Alexander one on one. Despite double team Oliver still pushes the pocket. At the same time Hughes pushes his guy right back into Darnold's lap. Darnold tries to find a place to get away to and ends up right in Alexander and Hughes' grasp. Hughes has to be loving this. He's seeing single teams now. I'd imagine at some point in the near future we're going to see them slide help to Hughes side and it will be on Oliver, Murphy and Star to get the job done. One thing is obvious, teams are giving Oliver a lot of attention. Edited September 9, 2019 by MDH 1
HappyDays Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 The only difference this year is Oliver. I've been saying all along he will immediately make the pass rush something respectable. With Oliver collapsing the pocket, Hughes doesn't have to try to chase QBs across the entire field. He had Darnold rattled all day long. Eventually he'll figure out how to finish on his own, and then look out.

One thing is obvious, teams are giving Oliver a lot of attention. The 4th sack where Oliver and Zo lined up at DT is the Bills specific pass rush package that they worked on a lot in camp according to Astro and others. Teams are gonna have to pick their poison when the Bills send those 4 - Murphy, Zo, Oliver and Jerry. 1
