As if we needed more proof, this post absolutely, positively proves that you have no idea what you're watching.

He was disciplined with his gaps, pushed the pocket, and generated a good amount of inside pressure on Darnold. Bell could not get going early in the game (before his injury) and Darnold could rarely set in a pocket or step up, he was often forced to reset side to side where our DE's could pressure or sack him. Sack stats are nice, but I think he played the responsible way we need our interior DT's to play in this defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Junction Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said: Sorry you are just showing how little you know about the situation with this post. First of all, who the heck cares where a player was drafted. Once you get to the NFL, you are in the NFL and its what you do on the field. Darryl is a ST ace, and one of our most important guys on ST. When you are talking about the 4th depth spot, ST is a major factor. The sheer fact you are disparaging Darrlys value based on his draft slot just shows how off base you are. He’s also disregarding that Johnson likely slipped to the 7th due to playing at a small school and not doing drills at the combine due to injury. I wonder if his sentiment would change if Johnson had been a 4th or 5th round pick instead of a 7th rounder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nester Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 He played a great game, collapsed the pocket, added pressure and protected the interior. Did awesome imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, I have highly reduced the amount of time I spend on the boards in the offseason, so I'm not up to date on what individual posters say that often. People get really sensitive if I criticize ANYTHING Allen related, but since I know you since way back on the official Bills boards, I'll take your word for it. There's things Allen deserves critiques on, but there are certainly people who will take any opportunity to dismiss anything he does well just to prop up the negatives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralonzo Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Rocky Landing said: Ed Oliver may not have looked elite yesterday, but he was by no means a weak link, or a liability. He played really well-- the entire line did. (That includes H. Phillips, IMO, although he didn't really see the field very much, IIRC.) Saw that wide load #99 collapsing the pocket on numerous occasions and no mentions of it... was wondering if it was a mirage? But, Phillips was mentioned in the OP as not playing well, which by transitive property with the Ed Oliver comment, you can logically deduce that he must have actually played well after all.

How nice to enjoy a relaxing Sunday and roll into work the next day all happy and energized. You, a genius: If you took away some of our points and gave the Jets some more points, the Bills would have barely even won, which is actually the same thing as a loss. Also, one guy on the defense didn't have non-stop SportsCenter plays which means he's probably a bust. At this point our only hope is to tank for a better draft spot. I pretty much hit the nail on the head with some of these posters in the "Josh Allen takes a step" thread. It really is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerlyofCtown Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 7 hours ago, JustWinPlease said: Yeah, it is...given Darryl Johnson, a 7th rounder, made the active roster ahead of him. Anybody who says they're not concerned with our top pick being benched is kidding themselves. The media has even said he did absolutely nothing in training camp, except one rep where the guard and tackle tripped over eachother. I'm not concerned at all. This isn't Rex Ryan's and Whaley's Bill's. This team has depth. If you thought any DL that wasn't a top-10 talent was going to play over the likes of Hughes, Murphy and Addison you were kidding yourself. Some are going to break out the pitch forks but those who believed Murphy was going to get cut were even more insane than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I dunno. I thought Oliver put guys on roller skates all day. That interior pressure we have been lacking for many years. I also thought Phillips held up really well for a guy who has had such a long layoff. Zimmer had the splash plays, and i like him, but Oliver was a beast in there.

I had a mother feel it was necessary to interrupt my coaching to complain that her son was not in the game. I turned to her and said, Stella, (that was really her name) I would like to draw your attention to right field. That kid throwing grass in the air. He has been in the game the last 2 innings and has been struck out and hit by a pitch. In fact he even slid under a tag at home plate. Thats your son Stella. Now go sit back down and pay attention to the game. I would like to offer you the same advice. Sit back down and pay attention to the game. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
