DCofNC Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 As a rookie in his first game, he was fine, the sad part is, he was the best we have seen across from Jerry in a long time and he basically graded out as a replacement player lol. He had some reasonable pressure, made one really great play on the run early as he forced it inside and shed the blocker to make the tackle for minimum gain. Really good to see those instincts and ability as a rookie. Overall, I see exactly why they took him. OTOH, Basham was invisible all day, it’s like he wasn’t even active 🤮 1 1

I'd give him a C on NFL debut. Didn't suck but more to come. Ed Oliver was the pick of our Dlinemen. He was absolutely excellent. Oliver was a beast. I can see him being an absolute terror as the season goes in. 1

I thought for a rookie he looked solid.

Number 2 picks have to be better, both should be high-contributing starters, at the least. 1

It's weird. 1

I thought for a rookie he looked solid. that a good point, with that wingspan and some spatial dara from metrics, those 2.5 second drops should yield some smaller arc-radius throws ripe to be batted away with proper placement, like a pass defensed...oh and note to cornerbacks when you are running for 3-4-5 seconds on those longer-than-usual routes how about a read - like a focus on the head of the receiver and when you see it turn - turn yours to the ball as well -huh - maybe ???

Dr.Sack Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Bills safeties could play wider if balls are coming out earlier. Typically the faster the pass is thrown after snap the less distance it will cover, especially Big Ben who throws jump balls downfield into one on one. Would be a good way to get some picks. Tua could be played very similarly as his arm isn’t a world beater.

And the pressure was when lined up inside I think. Haven't gone through the defensive snaps in quite the detail I have the offense but that is what it looked like on the tv view.
