This was an awesome play. Give AJ his props. Go Bills! Did you "search" here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I saw the title and wonder what on earth Klein had done to deserve props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Besides the pick six, AJ also had one sack, a tackle for loss, and 5 QB pressures. And one of those QB pressures led to the Micah Hyde INT. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Semi-related, but one thing I noticed while re-watching the game this week was how Floyd gets upheld so fast, but not too far upfield to be completely taken out of the play - he's always aware where the ball is and seems to be in position to set the edge/contain. This I think has been AJs biggest weakness - there are times where he takes himself out of plays and loses contain by just willy-nilly going upfield 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think AJ is a little on the smaller side to call it a thick six tho lol There are linebackers around his weight in the league... A d tackle bringing it back is a thick six Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 AJ looks pretty fluid with the ball in his hands. Almost looks like a tight end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Had a nice even stat line. Hit through the cycle. 1 tackle, 1 TFL , 1 sack, 1 int, 1 td 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tua gets the ball out so quick I believe the best way to attack him is to bull rush and get your hands up. Taking it wide and you’ll be ineffective. I believe he’s our best DE at doing just that. Completely agree. AJ is actually a pretty tall dude. He and Groot… respect the run and get those hands up. That can really impact this Miami offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills have him listed at 260 And the 2023 average size of an NFL linebacker is 240 lbs.. which means they're certainly are some 250-260 lb linebackers running around I usually start the weight rating for a thick 6 at 285-290 Edited September 28, 2023 by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideNine Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I have given him some grief on this board for not setting the edge when he is on an island out there taking an inside rush, but you can tell he has been working hard on his craft. Teams used to do the same with Hughes run or roll outside when he would take himself out of the play with that inside move and get pinned in the scrum. With Hughes it also helped that offensive linemen could literally headlock him without drawing holding calls. His beef with the zebras had consequences. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope McDermott drills that idea into the heads of every defensive lineman.

That's why guys like Hill need to be disrupted at the line, just to throw the quick release timing off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By playing them physical they are risking a huge play. If Tyreek breaks free then he’s gone. Usually i HATE this philosophy, but Buffalo needs to play slightly back and keep everything in front of them. Let Tua dink & dunk his way into field goals. Send an occasional blitz their way. This is only assuming the front 4 is playing good. At least this what I think McDermott is planning to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowers is one step above props, right? Just props. I'm pretty sure a thread already declared Tre White was getting flowers this week. There are only enough flowers to go to one player a week or else we will have another Dutch tulip crisis on our hands....ain't nobody got time for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
