It's great, but honestly this feels like what we always applauded Hughes for. He gets so many QB hurries!

well i personally believe they're more valuable from the inside rather than the DE never getting home.

Against backup guards. He did what he should do. 

Yes!

and one of those back up guards was a turnstile before the Thanksgiving Day game

It usually takes 2-3 years for these young DTs to come into their own. Look at Q. Williams in NY.

And of course he wants to get paid.

All games Ed has played he’s been a monster all year. He’s an absolute stud

Saw a tweet from next gen stas that Oliver has the most pressures league wide over the last 3 weeks. solid.

 

He had a bit of Jerry Hughes syndrome going on for much of the season, getting a lot of pressures but not converting them into sacks or turnovers. Against the Lions he finally made a couple true game changing plays.

Wow tough crowd.  Even Oliver can’t get some compliments.

i'm definitely not part of the cult that died on the "pressures" hill for jerry. and now i'm even more irritated with his new found ability to get home after losing it here for 4 years... that being said, i believe pressures up the middle are more valuable than pressures elsewhere, so i've been pretty pleased with EO lately.

He’s looked like 2021 Ed the past few weeks

 

So we already forgot he had 3 TFL and a QB hit against Bitonio and Teller last week?

Don't forget the forced fumble and the recovery that went with it. Big game for him!

He's been wrecking people for 3-4 weeks now (just like he was last year when he was healthy) but nobody knows it until somebody in the media tells them so.

 

Yeah he’s played well but he never had this kind of impact on a game as he did versus Detroit.  He was arguably the best player on the field on Sunday
 

In the game he had:

 

1 sack

1 FF

1 FR

1 safety

He also had a Monster game against Dallas on Thanksgiving in 2019...give my man some Turkey legs *****!  He keeps getting robbed

Jerry never lost his ability to get to the QB.  What happened was when McDermott arrived, he instilled his discipline and Jerry, being a good soldier, played the position the way McDermott wanted - set the edge, etc.   That's why his sack totals went down.   He wasn't quite good enough to play within the system and win one-on-one battles to get sacks.   That's why Rousseau and Miller are there instead of him.

And IMO this is why Madden was so good.. He watched the game, loved the game, and awarded the unsung heros that won the game.  Now everyone just awards the QB and they get the praise regardless of what actually happens in a game.
