That includes putting young players in position to succeed, and regulating playing time. I would lean toward that being the case here. Some “fans” have such a narrow view of how “it” all works that they post things that are for the most part just plain silly, and happily ignorable, this is one of those cases. Go Bills!!! 1

As Aj improves, his snap count will grow. That is what my crystal ball is telling me. I don’t see any of our DEs playing 80% of the snaps. Maybe ever. McD likes the rotation to keep bodies fresh and healthy He cannot see the forest thru the trees, nor does he appear to want to, as the saying goes, a lack of a flexible thought process is what we are seeing, and inevitably this will keep his snap count low…, 😁👍 Go Bills!!!

You see all this open space in front of the QB and then suddenly Rousseau explodes into the picture and pulls him to the ground. It takes incredible athleticism and instincts to play that style, and Rousseau has both. I think that will work really well against Mahomes too. Drop Rousseau into the window where Kelce would typically sit, and if Mahomes tries to run out of the pocket chase him down. We may have hit on a really special talent at DE and I don't think it's fully sunk in for Bills fans how important that is. I agree. Rousseau closes on QBs faster than they anticipate with his length. The play you pointed out is exactly how I think they envision using him and he's known for "clean up" sacks anyway so it fits him. The nickname is perfect too. Groooooot 2
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 Isn't there an AFC defensive rookie of the week award? If so, Groot has a good shot at it this week with two sacks. 1
Bobby Hooks Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) I love how Groots sacks are magically not good because they’re viewed as Johnny on the spot sacks. Dude has to be there, he obviously has a good feel for the game, I’ve never been bummed when a guy gets a “clean up” sack. If he wasn’t there, the play would continue. I’ve seen many plays that turned into huge gains because there was no one there to actually end the play. How many times did Hughes get to the qb first only to have the qb escape the sack and make a good play? It’s a bit like a safety that has a nose for where the ball is going. Groot kinda has a feel for where the qb will end up, that’s not a bad thing, that’s a huge plus. Especially in today’s nfl where more and more qbs have scrambling ability.

njbuff Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 Epenesa had 9 pressures Sunday. Is that even humanly possible for one game? 😁 4 1

What a motor, speed and power. Can’t wait to see what’s to come. Rousseau ability to quickly close distance is incredible…. What a great Duo of young ends we have! 2

I decided that I’ll be getting a red Epenesa jersey this year. He’s looks to be our best pass rusher. Sorry Jerry. Rousseau was certainly impressive. Almost had 3 sacks. Looks like a future pro bowler. Versatile and more athletic than I thought he’d be. that said……the Dolphins are starting 5 Feliciano clones along the OL Sorry bu there’s nobody on that Dolphins OL who’s even close to Feliciano’s level , he would be by FAR their best OL- man 1

Feliciano, until he plays well against a good DT, is crap to me. Prove yourself. He was the smallest man on the Bills biggest stage in 27ish years. I’ll hold that against him until he shows otherwise edit: sorry guys……rolling your eyes doesn’t make Feliciano any better. He was the worst player on the field 2 out of our last 3 games.
