Paul Costa Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) If Groot lives up to expectations and develops into any of these comps we have an all pro DE on our hands. If Von continues his high end play for two or three years watch out!! The key word in each sentence is if but I think it’s very likely they both happen. 😁 Edited May 24, 2022 by Paul Costa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll have at least 2 other DEs with 5-7 sacks, excluding Von (8-9), and maybe 3 DTs. They could be a lot like Minnesota last year, no one with double-digit sacks, but second in the league overall. This is my thought. Have six guys getting 7-9 sacks and then one guy hitting 10+. Overall have great sack production but not one guy getting elite sack numbers. Edited May 24, 2022 by atlbillsfan1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babulator Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Groot said he packed on a few pounds of muscle, and it's showing imho. He's looking pretty diesel below, I'm excited for his development! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of hope for him this season as well When I saw Groot's college highlights, the talent was evident but I didn't believe he had the strength to play successfully at the NFL level. To a degree, I felt the same way last season. The extra muscle is very good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much general success for linemen (O and D) simply comes down to being super strong relative to most of your competition. These guys all look like monsters, but strength doesn't work like that. I can guarantee some of them are a LOT stronger than others, and that strength (if you have it) has to be an enormous advantage. I always think back to Reggie White. The guy was a bull of a human being, and had to be as strong as anyone on the field in that era...on top of his general talent he already had. Players used to talk about Joe Klecko, too, as being unusually strong relative to those around him. He was said to be just unusually strong, even by giant NFL linemen standards. Incidentally, here's a photo of me doing some weight training back in May... Edited June 1, 2022 by Nextmanup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting to see how he does next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I have to think that AJE is also excited to be part of this defense. He could become the forgotten man to a O Coordinator and end up with 12 sacks with the real catalyst of 10 of them being the rest of the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I tend to stay away from radical predictions. Rousseau should improve year to year. He was very young and very raw coming out of college. He had lots of room to develop technique wise, and plenty of growth potential in terms of muscle development. It should be both fun and interesting to watch that development bear fruit this season, but I'm happy to let it happen as it happens rather than force a prediction on to him.
