Rookie defensive end Greg Rousseau leads the Bills with 3.0 sacks and is tied for the team-lead with five quarterback hits (Jerry Hughes). He has been named to the Pro Football Focus All-Rookie midseason team. Here's what the site had to say about Buffalo's defensive end: If only Rousseau could play the Dolphins' offensive line every week. He's racked up 13 pressures in two games against Miami, compared to only three pressures in his other five outings. Rousseau has the length and get-off to be a genuine pocket-collapser at the NFL level.

FilthyBeast Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Really hoping Groot develops into a true beast and game changing player for this team. Either way early returns are promising and would love to see him finish the season close to double digit sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 He has been very good but c/w the stats he has disappeared for games. That may be the rotation, the fact he is a rookie, or just randomness. Hopefully he keeps it up and the rotation keeps him fresh beyond the rookie wall.

Either way early returns are promising and would love to see him finish the season close to double digit sacks. It depends on if Sean and Leslie cut him loose or not. We play different teams completely different. Groot got all those pressures on Miami for two reasons. One, Miami's line in weak. Two, we aggressively pass rushed a lot. I don't think we played like that vs. anybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FieldGeneral Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Was it PFF that had both Greg and Boogie on the most likely to Bust list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Never read PFF and couldn’t care less about their ratings and such. But it’s nice Groot is getting some recognition. Bills fans know he’s playing well. I do wish Boogie would get on the field more, I think he’d have similar impact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Congrats to Groot, but also congrats to Beane. Great "left-field" pick (although it wasnt that far out of left field). We've now played 2 games against the Dolphins, and Groot has made impact plays in both while his former team mate who was drafted much higher, Jalen Phillips, hasnt done squat that I've noticed. 13 hours ago, Apocalypse Nuts said: Has anyone else noticed a significant lack of whining about the defense on these boards lately? Brother, for those of us who have been on this board for 15+ years, there is a significant lack of whining about everything lately. And it is glorious! Go Bills!

Brand J Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Haven’t watched the two rookie Chiefs OLineman play all that much (Humphrey & Smith), but apparently they’re doing extremely well. Glad the rest of that team hasn’t matched their level of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF actually raved about Greg's measurables and talked about Boogie's inconsistency - not a PFF fan, but not going to make up reasons not to like their staff writers and analysts. It was Chris Simms who was not that much a fan: https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2021/07/2-bills-among-chris-simms-potential-busts-from-2021-draft-class.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
