jwhit34 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Admittedly it seems a bit blasphemous to pose this question. Add up Von Miller's performance, mentoring, leadership and the attention he draws from the opposition and he is probably the slam dunk answer. However, Greg Rousseau has played very well in the first four games: 4 sacks (Miller 3), 5 tackles for loss (Miller also 5), 15 total tackles (11 solo, 4 assists, Miller 7 solo 0 assist). My guess is Miller has more QB pressures. It's not just a stats question of course. So far, so good, Miller's playing very well and Rousseau has made a nice leap so far this year, partially thanks to Miller. So I'll say it's Miller, but Rousseau is pretty close. Honorable mention to DaQuan Jones, he's been pretty darn good too. And I can't wait to see what happens when Ed Oliver is back in the lineup... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I would be curious to see how well our defensive ends have played when Von Miller lined up opposite them vs someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait till Oliver and Phillips come back. Von helps, but Rousseau was already heading there. He is a better player than Von right now, but we will see as the season goes along. Miller is clearly here for the big games. Rousseau is what you expect when you draft a DL in the 1st round. Growing pains in year 1 and in year 2 they take off. Rousseau and Edmunds are living up to their 1st round hype. Edmunds took a little while, but it is much harder to play his position that Rousseau's position.

This defense will be disgusting if we can get those guys and Tre White back without suffering additional injury casualties. It's already the best in the league, but they have a chance to be absolutely dominating when healthy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNutHawaii Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I think the Texans "Have The Bills' Best D-Lineman So Far." Jerry Hughes, he's currently 5th in the league in QB sacks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 It might actually be Da'Quan Jones. He has played a ton of snaps..70% last game while holding it down for Oliver and Phillips and has done a tremendous job of taking on blockers allowing Milano and Edmunds to roam free. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technical league and NFLPA stuff by nature. Von is right, Rousseau is going to be a STUD. An All-Pro stud. I loved his size, but it seems he’s got more bend than last year. Is that just my imagination? He seems more athletic. . Edited October 5, 2022 by Augie 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Von Miller. Greg has been very good. But watch the blocking. Von is doubled up pretty much every play. This allows Greg to eat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 The von Miller effect is a real thing. Just like we say Allen was going to be elite regardless, Diggs just helped the process speed up. Same thing for Rousseau and some of the other young guys. Von has just helped speed up their development. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
