YoloinOhio Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) It's pretty crazy that he's the "worst" player on our DL. Can't double team everyone. Edited July 10, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a look back at some of his best plays from the game. Great post thanks for the review. For the first time I noticed Thomas after the fumble score. He's in the middle of the field looking very disappointed and thinking the play was dead. His hands are on his hips; he's shaking his head; and thinking about how he just got beat again (and called for his third holding penalty). Meanwhile Jerry is making the strip, picking up the ball, and starting to run towards the endzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Nails Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I just bought a Jerry Hughes jersey. Love his game and am pumped to rock the 55 to the opener when he reminds his old team what they gave up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's so cool to have a Def Line where the weakest guy got double-digit sacks two years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hughes was amazing in this game. The strip, fumble, TD return while being held was one of my favorite moments of the year. I'm glad they found a way to get him to stick around. St. Doug, this is for you. (and for the article, Ryan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasBillsFan1 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I live in north Dallas area and saw Jerry training first hand at a facility ... just last week. Got to meet him and shake hands when he was done. He's training hard and looks to be in great shape. Can't wait for this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ko12010 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's so cool to have a Def Line where the weakest guy got double-digit sacks two years in a row. I think it just makes more sense to say that there simply is no weakness on our starting DLine. All of the guys are essentially on the same level.

1billsfan Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I just bought a Jerry Hughes jersey. Love his game and am pumped to rock the 55 to the opener when he reminds his old team what they gave up on. I think this serves as a cautionary tale as to why fans and media shouldn't give up on EJ Manuel after only two seasons. Jerry Hughes was considered a 1st rd bust with the Colts. Was it the coaching? Was it him needing four years to come into his own? Both? Not sure. But Bills fans would have packed Hughes' bags for him if the Bills had drafted him and got the same 3 year very low production that Indy did. Call me crazy, but I still think that Manuel can clear the bar and make that huge jump in production just like Hughes did. He's got two years of seasoning and now has new coaches, it could actually happen almost the same way for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While in theory that is true, and I actually hold out hope for it, pretty much everyone thought that Jerry Hughes was a top talent pass rusher coming out of college and had all the ability in the world to be a good pro. There are a lot of people who thought EJ just didn't have what it takes to be a good pro despite size and arm and athleticism. The jury is still out. But Hughes was put in the wrong defense and was behind two top notch players. Just because he was considered a bust I'm not sure we can equate the two. I'm hoping EJ actually does have what it takes. Just not sure at all and wouldn't bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Is there some kind of TBD contest going on to turn every dam thread into an EJ discussion? I thought I was safe in a Hughes thread but noooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure at all and wouldn't bet on it. Hughes was drafted 31st overall and seen as kind of a project type of player. He wasn't predicted to become the scary OLB he's turned into, if he was he'd have been a top 10 pick. Granted, Manuel did not have as much of the scouts' backing as Hughes did, but there are similarities. Enough so that I certainly would not count out Manuel developing into a franchise QB along the lines of getting to a "Flacco" franchise QB level. I think the huge key here is seeing how Manuel does with these new coaches. If there's a drastic improvement in Manuel's play then we can all start to get excited about where this team is going.
