dayman Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) I've googled him since and am almost ashamed that I didn't know who he was, but the truth is I didn't. I don't know, maybe I've heard of him and simply forgot...I don't typically retain what little LA Rams information I receive (through only the most general of NFL media consumption). Anyway, Eric basically said he's the best player in the NFL. He said he's like JJ Watt, but that JJ Watt blows assignments leaving holes wide open (when he's not blowing assignments getting tackles for losses or sacks), while Donald is every bit, if not more, disruptive but does so within the scheme, always getting back to his spot, and is going to be a superstar in the league for years to come. He said if Bills fans don't know who he is, they should find out. The host commented that this guy (that I don't know) was the best rated player by PFF for all of last year (as a second year player), and that he is the highest rated player by PFF so far this year through 4 games. So yea...Aaron Donald...apparently #99 for the Rams is going to be tough on Sunday... Edited October 5, 2016 by dayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 10-3: ERIC WOOD ON WGR (18:21) @WGR550Eric Wood on WGRWood- "I tell you being in that locker room in Foxboro getting the win was a lot of fun. But it is right back to work."Wood- "We were able to control the game. We possessed the ball a lot in the first half, and a lot of that has to do with the defense."Wood- "All we heard through media is NE don't even need Tom Brady they are so good. Now keep that same perspective that we beat em."Wood- "There may be an investigation into the pregame scuffle so I was told not to talk much about it on the show."Wood- "Any kind of pregame hype like that might last for a series or two, but then you go back to the same player that you always were."Wood- "I don't know exactly what happened, but I believe they were running through their drills and that's what instigated it."Wood- "Deep down you're saying we need to get back to 2-2, and it feels good to be there."Wood- "The Rams have a guy named Aaron Donald, if you don't know his name you will. He's going to be a star in the league."Wood- "I have to familiarize myself with the Rams more than I do our normal opponents." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Watt's injured and now on IR. That is irrelevant to the fact that Wood criticized watt for getting himself out of position by his aggressiveness whereas Donald is aggressive within the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 He's as good as Watt? Good thing EJ isn't starting.. and pray to god Tyrod doesn't go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The Bills can't let him blow up the game the way they allowed Fletcher Cox to last season at Philadelphia. I was thinking the same thing. Their front four is very dangerous, Donald (their Kyle Williams) and Quinn (their jerry Hughes) can take over the game if we're not careful, they can change the game or swing momentum in one play. Brockers (1st rounder) and Easley (ex Pat) are good depth players. I think both offenses will struggle Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, he is probably the best DT in all of football and easily one of the 10 best overall players in the league. He's an absolute beast and freak.

Fixxxer Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I wanted the Bills to draft Brockers and Donald so bad the years they came out in the draft. I remember wanting to draft Donald to eventually replace Kyle Williams. You can't never have enough fat guys that can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I remember wanting to draft Donald to eventually replace Kyle Williams. You can't never have enough fat guys that can play. i also thought he reminded me of KW when he was in the draft. A little undersized but technically sound and so quick off the ball. Gonna be a tough day for the OL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 He had a good amount of pre-draft hype. I remember him being featured by ESPN. Actually lived up to the hype and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
