Up until last weekend, he hadn't really played any meaningful football in a year-and-a-half. Need to give him some time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milanos Milano Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Going to give AJ a shout out as well, his sack today was bad things! Just straight up activated Pamplona mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he needs some time, but if he starts playing a lot of minutes and he continues to rely on that one signature move, opposing teams are going to spot it, and the offensive line coach is going to drill his offensive tackles on combatting that move, and Rousseau's effectiveness is going to decline quickly. I'm sure the Bills' defensive line coach has him on a crash course in moves to add to his arsenal. It just takes time and hard work.

Yes and no, there are things that you can know are coming and still not stop.. a dude that punches you before you can get your base is hard to deal with, knowing it’s coming or not. Does he need more? Yeah, for sure. Will he be able to have success without it, yeah. Plenty of guys have been good with nothing more than a bull rush. For this season, I don’t think you will see a lot more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Wingspan has to be part of "the process" the Bills use at DE. Rousseau was 9th among DE's in this years class with 34.75 inch arms, that would have been good for 3rd last year. Instead, last year Epenesa was 3rd in 2020's class with 34.50 inch arms. Reach allows ends to keep separation from lineman. It's a fundamental advantage if you have it. Doesn't mean you will be successful, but it helps if the other skills are present. Rousseau also shows closing ability, leverage, and power. He's also not exactly a poor athlete. He ran Sub 4.7. I think Esenesa will be much improved this year, but Rousseau eventually taking more snaps. He's just more talented. We will rotate a lot anyway. Good problems to have. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie2times Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Another interesting tidbit on Rousseau, he has the 13th biggest hands ever recorded for a DE. It goes back to 1987. So he has elite extension and hand size that you see once about every 3 years. I think he uses both to maintain control over his opponent.

It would be amazing if he could become a 10+ sack guy I'm hoping for like 15+ honestly. He almost got Dalton a second time today with what was one of his signature shoelace sacks back at Miami with his big mitts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if we can get him to put on 10 lbs. of muscle, he could be a serious threat to any opposing offense. The other guy I’m having so much fun watching is AJ. He looks very powerful out there. Everytime he gets a sack, they have to play the "I am Groot" audio clip at the stadium. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
