Kirby Jackson Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I haven't seen a lot of talk on him so far this year but he has been dominating. It appears as if he is being asked to anchor more and be a run stuffer. The Bills run D has been phenomenal and the man in the middle (along with Schwartz) deserve a lot of credit.

The opponents have reportedly been all double-teaming him. He is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been excellent. If KW is going to miss games, the Bills will really need Dareus to continue to play at a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 He has gone from a talented rookie, to a struggling sophomore, to a pro bowl player to one of the best in the league in 4 years. Outside of McCoy I don't know if there is another DT that I would rather have (including Suh, Richardson and Atkins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I really liked his appearance on the John Murphy show where, when asked about the D's performance to date, he said "I'm not impressed". Maybe the kid is growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of McCoy I don't know if there is another DT that I would rather have (including Suh, Richardson and Atkins). I would probably take Suh and Richardson over Dareus - they're more consistent and more disruptive IMO. That being said Dareus has certainly been a force for us this year and in the past. He's a free agent in 2016 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a team with few authentic impact players he is an impactful player. Having an interior lineman who can push the pile and create inside pressure is a luxury that most teams don't have. He has been a pleasant surprise after a tumultuous offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXBILLSFAN Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 That was one hell of a top half of the 1st round draft, wasn't it ?!! 12 of the 16 have made a Pro Bowl, legal troubles aside, some incredible talent that year!! 1-Newton 2-Von Miller 3-Dareus 4-AJ Green 5-Patrick Peterson 6-Julio Jones 7-Aldon Smith 8-Tyron Smith 11-JJ Watt 14-Robert Quinn 15-Mike Pouncey 16-Ryan Kerrigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Dareus and Kyle are the key to the defense working. I love watching both of those guys play, and while Kyle is one of my all time favorite Bills, Dareus is one of my favorites to watch. He's always having fun, always making plays, and continues to improve each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Dareus performing admirably His offseason wasn’t the kind that any NFL player would want to have, but coming off his best individual game this season this past Sunday, Dareus is a full month into the season and his commitment to the straight and narrow has left his head coach encouraged.
