Beerball Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Somebody give his performance a grade. He was dominant week 1 so even I noticed him from start to finish. I expected more of the same yesterday because of the Jags middle, but his presence wasn't so eye catching. Those of you who keep an eye on these things during the game or those who have watched replays...how did he do?
marauderswr80 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 B- Just a tad bit better then a C+ He was ok, but not dominate. Im sure the heat had something to do with it. We came away healthy thats all I care about.
dib Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I saw 1 play at least where he was hit by 3 different O linemen on the same play
BillsFanForever19 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I'd grade him at a B While he wasn't as productive in solo situations as last week, he still managed to deflect two passes. I was also watching him and he was disruptive enough at the line to free others. Like the Kyle Williams sack at the end. The Jags had to use to lineman on him during that play (and pretty much did all game).

The Jags had to use to lineman on him during that play (and pretty much did all game). That's what I thought. The Jags double teamed him all day. He really did his job, exactly what we brought him here to do. They over-compensated for him and the result was, they got 66 yards rushing.
Mike in Syracuse Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Stroud was fine, Aaron Schoebel is the one that worries me. Has he made a tackle in the last two weeks or is he just content with making massive 45 yard crescents around the QB?
VOR Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Come on, people! Stroud gets an A. He was constantly double-teamed (and held at times), helped with half a sack, and tipped 2 passes, one of which was INT'd.

Has he made a tackle in the last two weeks or is he just content with making massive 45 yard crescents around the QB? I noticed that too. Huge circles around the QB. No forward pressure, and his speed rush isn't getting to the QB

John from Riverside Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 He is doing exactly what he is SUPPOSED to be doing.....freeing other guys up to make plays. Our defense is playing lights out....nobody is running on us.... Whats the problem?
bills44 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I noticed that too. Huge circles around the QB. No forward pressure, and his speed rush isn't getting to the QB He also completely whiffed on one sack attempt.
Beerball Posted September 15, 2008 Author Posted September 15, 2008 He also completely whiffed on one sack attempt. Truthfully, he dint wiff, he kind of slid down Gerrard and was left grasping air. Course Mitchell didn't do any better if we're thinking of the same play.

I was also watching him and he was disruptive enough at the line to free others. Like the Kyle Williams sack at the end. The Jags had to use to lineman on him during that play (and pretty much did all game). Plus on that play Stroud was standing right in Gerrard's line that he couldn't throw the ball away.
Lurker Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 A. The 'eye candy' plays (sacks, etc.) are fun to watch, but Stroud's real value goes way beyond that. The Jags RBs had 66 rushing yards combined. Say what you will about a banged up JAX O-line, but it's still the NFL..there were very few runs up the middle, which was the Bills' achiles heel last year.

Has he made a tackle in the last two weeks or is he just content with making massive 45 yard crescents around the QB? This place would B word about the sun coming up....JAX had zero (count'm, zero) plays over 15 yards yesterday. That's great team defense for the second week in a row.
Bill from NYC Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Somebody give his performance a grade. He was dominant week 1 so even I noticed him from start to finish. I expected more of the same yesterday because of the Jags middle, but his presence wasn't so eye catching. Those of you who keep an eye on these things during the game or those who have watched replays...how did he do? Beer Man, I think that Stroud was robbed by the scorers of .5 of a sack. Youboty made the play and had Garrard wrapped up, but it was the absolutely crushing hit from Stroud that took him down. Does anyone else think that he should have got credit?
Cornerville Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 That's what I thought. The Jags double teamed him all day. He really did his job, exactly what we brought him here to do. They over-compensated for him and the result was, they got 66 yards rushing. Bingo.
Steely Dan Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stor...332379084.shtml Great article thanks. Stroud won't see a lot of stats but his value is priceless.
Stussy109 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 He forced double teams and batted several balls at the lOS one of which led to the McGee pick in the endzone. He did fine. More often than not you dont notice DT's. Another factor is that the RB's were held under 70 yards rushing.
