Still, looking at the names on that list, not many of them turned into DE #1's. Here is the original Tweet: i know those two slackers Frank Clark and Chris Jones. Slackers! Well be fine. In Beane we trust.

Here is the original Tweet: Understood. I think there is a lot that goes into those numbers, such as how many snaps the player gets and whose playing in front of him. I imagine most of those listed didn’t get the majority of snaps their first year thus contributing to limited number of sacks. Since our leading sacker last year only had 5 sacks if Rousseau gets 4-5 sacks he’ll look like a steal.
ndirish1978 Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Clear member of a rotation, I don't see a problem with this. Even when Rousseau becomes a starter he will still rotate in this defense, only with a higher snap count. Basham has a more intriguing trajectory to me as I see him playing off the edge and a lot of 3 tech, possibly being a challenge for Oliver, we'll see. 1
skibum Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Training camp will reveal all, but I have to say this pick reeks of Aaron Maybin. Here's hoping that's not the reality that unfolds. 1
Chandler#81 Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 He’s a rookie with 1 year of experience followed by a full year off. Don't y'all think your standards a little bit high?😳

Don't y'all think your standards a little bit high?😳 He had almost as many sacks in one year as Maybin did in his two years in college. He will be a bit like Edmunds out there in that he’s very easy to find....he’s the BIG ONE. He keeps his hear up and seems to have a knack for making plays. I love where his ceiling might be, and I’m thrilled we don’t need him to change our team overnight. But mostly, I’m excited because he was drafted by MUCH brighter football minds than the tire fire that resulted in the Maybin pick. There are no sure things, but I’m excited to see what he will develop into. 1

He doesn't have to be a pro-bowler, just really good. These higher picks need to "hit". If Ford doesn't solidify himself as a starter and AJ doesn't get regular rotational duty...😬 I know you Dollars. Ch. 29 at I think 6 pm back in the day, and Donuts was saying *****, I’m a womanizer not a doctor. Bones, wait that’s my line.

Mat68 Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Buffalo having a high grade on Rousseau tells you they dont agree with the internet scouts that label him a project.

Here's hoping that's not the reality that unfolds. I dont see the comparison. Rousseau is is skinny at 260. Maybin blew up to 240 at the combine and I dont he ever played over 230 in the NFL. Maybin got his sack turning the corner around tes and Rts in the Big 10. Rousseau had more variance and ability in 1 year at the position. I get you see those videos at rookie camp and he looks small. Hes 6-7 260 plus. He is prototypical size. He has elite get off. Thats the best thing. Watch JJ watt sacks. 90% of his sacks are what Rousseau did. 1
machine gun kelly Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 After six pages, here’s a crazy idea, how about we trust McD and Frazier, and they get now a more normal off season so OTA’s, Pre-Season games, training camp, and if he picks up quickly he moves from 5-10% snaps, to 20%, then maybe 40% by mid year. Everyone knows McD is a rotational guy for his linemen so at most he’s going in for half the time. He’s competing on rotation with a 34 yr. old, who before last year was getting 9.5 sacks in avg., for five years and dropped preciously last year. Rousseau will get every chance to get put in the lineup. It’s up to him after that and if he’s good enough he’ll see time. If he needs more development like Epenesa in the beginning of last year, he’ll get moved in a bit slower. for me what’s important is Epenesa taking the next step, but the same goes for Oliver and even Ford on the offense. We have some aging players so it’s more important our year two and three guys are now in stride like H. Phillips. He had a tough road with his knee injury so this year we need to see a big H. Phillips year. Im a relatively patient guy so instead of fretting over guys not even in camp yet, I care more about the other I mentioned they now breakout. 1 1

BigDingus Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Don't worry, with our luck he'll suffer a season-ending injury helping an old lady cross the street. Redshirt away!

You mean the four jokes I made with Donuts and Ridge with Star Trek, etc. until this one. My point was simply what I said. I trust the defensive minds and they’ll figure out how quickly to weave him into the lineup. My above serious point bout these second and third year guys is more important in next steps.

I would always so wish my father would be distracted or not want to watch the news so I could watch Star Trek. ...The show was off the air for 4-5 years when I believe I started watching and now it is 55 years old and Captain Kirk just turned 90. I...am...well, let's just say it would be nice if I was a little younger! 🤣 Edited May 20, 2021 by dollars 2 donuts 1
BrooklynBills Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 He's going to be the 5th DE/backup interior rusher this year as he adds weight. But he is a freak athlete so he realistically could be at 280/290 by training camp. 1 1 1
Ramza86 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I love him on 3rd and long and guaranteed passing drives. Opted out last year, so hes got a lot of work ahead of him. I agree with the part where he really has no technicals. Hes going to get mauled early on. Needs to hit the weight room and work on his craft for sure.
