Orlando Buffalo Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 16 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: Epensea looks more athletic this year. I watched him a lot during the game and he’s developing a nice stutter step….gets the offensive lineman off balance. That is the word I was looking for- Athletic- he is simply quicker and more explosive than the guy he is going against. 1
TFBillsfan Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Super excited to see AJ and Groot having an impact. Ed had a very strong game along with Zimmer who just makes plays. If the DL stays healthy, I’d continue to expect Harry will be inactive. Also, Jerry H has been very quiet. 1

dgrochester55 Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 This is a great overall situation. In addition to this, Oliver is starting to come around, there is still a strong veteran presence with Lotulelei, Hughes and Addison, and more depth with Zimmer and Basham. This line may suddenly be one of the better and deeper ones in the NFL 4
Kwai San Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Let's not let this all get to our heads here....remember who they were playing.....The Fish are playing a JV OL at best.... 2
Nextmanup Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Both had monster games today, but the guy I am excited about is Rousseau. I have been saying this for a while now; I think he's going to prove to be something special. 1 1
Hebert19 Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 They were 1 on 1 a lot because the DTs were doing the job as well
Mikie2times Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Both are long and quick to finish. Really like the development from AJ this year. Groot was just a steal. Future pro bowler IMO. 1
DCofNC Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Groot is doing a great job shedding blocks and is fantastic at setting the edge, then taking down the runner, genuinely impressive for a young player, forget about the fact he didn’t play last year and is up against NFL competition now. He’s been a difference maker. AJE, looking really good, more flash than I expected this year, he’s LOOKING like he could be the best DE on the team for now (I think Groot will own that title), it’s an impressive transformation. Just being real Addison is looking really good early in the year, which he did last year too, hope he can keep it going all year. Edited September 19, 2021 by DCofNC 3

But, even with Star out, he only played 36% of the snaps last week. Zimmer saw 40%, Butler saw 50%, and Big Ed saw 62%. Obada had 26% and pretty sure I saw him playing inside at DT at times. I wonder if this is a "healthy scratch but not really" situation where he isn't on the injury report but is still needing to work his way back from the knee? Otherwise, it's looking bad for Mr. Horrible; either Butler or Zimmer or both have jumped him on the depth chart. Is he still banged up? I thought he got tweeked and feel like they are just giving him time to heel buy didn't want to IR him? I could be wrong. Either way the D Line is playing lights out. 2 minutes ago, DCofNC said: Groot is doing a great job shedding blocks and is fantastic at setting the edge, then taking down the runner, genuinely impressive for a young player, forget about the fact he didn’t play last year and is up against NFL competition now.

He really is like Groot with those long limbs 1
Big Turk Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Epenesa has just almost made am improvement that you can't even believe...he looked slow and plodding last year and he looks like he is shot out of a cannon this year... Reminds me of Merriman before he got hurt a little bit. Dude is just possessed right now. 2 1

HappyDays Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Epenesa was solely responsible for putting the Dolphins back in the game. That huge hit on Tua immediately gave them competent QB play. He needs to play smarter than that. 2 18

I hope Mia finishes with 10 wins again so they have a higher draft pick
Maynard Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Greg is so freakishly long that if he’s not doubled it’s a huge problem. I love his slide/swim move into the pocket. His long arms and huge hands allow him to pull that off very effectively. He’s doing exactly what he did in college at Miami, except against higher level talent. 2

Well, one commentator I heard after the game, I don't recall who, said that Tua's injury could open back the door for the Deshaun Watson talk with the Fishes. So his big hit could indeed come back to bite the Bills in the butt...
