Yep, on pace for 0 sacks, right?

Last year was his ceiling....he's still disappointing.  Burning two 2nd round picks on mediocre pass rushers will always hurt. Hopefully Groot explodes this year.

His knock coming out was, "lack of game experience" if memory serves me, correctly? 

 

All of the physical attributes were there, essentially 

 

Well, it looks as if his development is going as planned 

 

I get Jason Taylor vibes when I watch him play 

 

One can hope....

He's on pace for 51 sacks. Anything less will be a disappointment now that we know he is capable.

 

Great start!

 

If he keeps this up he's on pace for one hell of a pay day too !!! 😆

They played him like a top edge defender. Hopefully his snap count stays above 75% all year.

While I have predicted a monster season for Rousseau, it must be said that RT Jonah Williams was injured early on and only play 36% of the snaps on O.  
 

was good to see them move Rousseau around.  Seemed like von played mostly on the left side but I could be wrong.

He’s always been a solid all around DE. But man if he could become a double digit sack guy, that’s a game changer for this defense.

Greg is going to have a monster year (if he stays healthy) and be a very rich man soon.

Five sacks all of last season.

Three sacks this year, going into game two.

He was a game wrecker. I think he has the potential to become one of the top five edge rushers in the game this year. I know that's saying a lot, and I know people get sick of the "he's so young" argument because of Tremaine Edmunds, but....Groot is 24. His body looks night and day different than it did when he was a rookie. He has grown into his frame, learned the game, and....look out. He could be a VERY good one.

 

Good point, Edmunds wont be 24 for another 5 years

Very optimistic about Groot & Von's season. Not so much about Epenesa.

Epenesa will block some passes.

Oliver was doubled a ton yesterday. He ate blockers and did his job.
