JerseyBills Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 The most underrated DE/edge rusher in the game So Hughes was 2nd in pressures in the whole league and first on the right side , where he's battling the LT , usually the teams best OL. He absolutely dominated the competition on that side though. 13 more than Garrett and 16 more than Clowney , both former #1 overall picks. For more context , Hughes was apart of a rotation and didn't have anyone else on the line that was elite at rushing the passer last year. Well maybe Lorax but he's only rushing the QB on a part time basis. When you look at these names , they are all considered elite and commonly mentioned on a national level for their pass rushing ability. If you were to mention Hughes in the same conversation as these guys , most ppl would look at you like you have 2 heads . He is criminally underrated and last year was arguably his best season to date! Jerry Hughes is a top 5 DE! I think the Bills attempt to trade up for the top edge rusher or DT on their board to get Hughes some help while he's still in his prime. I also believe he is re signed for a 3 year deal after this season. Such an Elite talent that consistently causes havoc in the backfield , I'd be so happy to see another elite DE opposite Hughes. 15 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Very good player. Not a great player, though. The great ones get sacks regardless of offensive scheme and regardless of who they line up with. He needs someone on the other side to bring pressure too, then his sack numbers will get back to double digits. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't had the sacks but just causes havoc in the backfield on a regular basis , with his sneaky cat like quickness . Off the top of my head I recall 3 separate plays where his pressure caused an INT. I gotta feeling they trade up for a DL , give Hughes another great pass rusher and those prrssures turn into more sacks, FF ,TFL and int. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he won't get so blatantly held this season and it not get called and those numbers will go up. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cle23 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'd like to see the total number and percentage if snaps from each side. I I will Garrett rushed mostly from the right, but moved around a lot too. Hughes is great though, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I hope he gets extended for a couple of years with a good bump. He’s certainly earned it and watching him, I see no drop off. Could certainly argue he’s the best player on the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard playing DE when the QB has a nice pocket to step into. 0 pressure up the middle. Also Officials that target him. 9 minutes ago, eball said: In another thread I was told Hughes is not dominant. So there.

Let's see some other supporting statistics such as number of snaps played, % of snaps pressure generated, number of double teams faced, etc. I don't think any GM in the league would choose Jerry over any of the other guys on those charts. 16 minutes ago, formerlyofCtown said: ....

No single defensemen can be great without others doing their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you clearly dont know what youre talking about. Anyhow...nobody is mentioning the fact that not only does he apply the most pressure from the right side...Im also sure he is the most HELD pass rusher from that side. And like his pressure numbers...its likely not even close 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Jerry definitely gets pressure on opposing QB's which is great & what we need, but how many times does he whiff on sacks due to over pursuing or having the qb slip off his arms? This isn't a hate post bcuz i love Jerry, but I still think Jerry loses control of his body sometimes while rushing. So i'd like to see that improve a bit, like he has improved on taking bad penalties & i think his sack numbers will only increase. But I'd have a hard time paying Jerry top end money for an extended contract extension due to his age getting in that zone where a dropoff is expected, coupled with his lack of sacks. Past 3 years he's averaged 5.66 sacks per year... even worse if you go out another year further. So whats that worth you know? Not top end money like what i've seen mentioned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
