A career as a rotational/backup DE is respectable. The problem is taking a player like that in the second round. If he was a fifth round pick he’d be well liked and fans would want him kept around to be DE4. But alas….. Sure what he’s shown so far is not enough to be a starter and you would want to upgrade. but I think he’s got a bit of growth he can achieve. 13 hours ago, newcam2012 said: I wouldn't get too enamored with the 6.5 sacks. He will show a flash here and there. He mostly is very inconsistent and definitely not reliable. He's shown us this for years. We all want him to breakout but it's just not going to happen. The guy isn't anything but a role player. Plenty of them everywhere. Many fans have been saying this year after year without success. AJE isn't that good, not reliable, and inconsistent. The Bills need to do better. As a fan, I'm tired of the AJE hype. I won't be disappointed when he's not in a Bills uniform. He won't get 10 sacks. Showing flashes is what will he get him a contract though. I wouldn’t scoff at 6.5 sacks. Additionally he has not shown that level of production before for so long. Agree he had some great games and then disappeared for a most the season. He’s now registering more good games as he gets more consistent.

BullBuchanan Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 If he never suited up in another game, but no one told you, how long would it be until you realized it? For me, I'm not sure they day would ever come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Every season we’re looking for this guy to be impactful. Sadly he can’t get consistent pressure rushing the QB and his tackles are also lacking in the run game. He’s got speed and has been injury free. If he doesn’t emerge this year he’s got to go.

To go into this year with Floyd, Groot, Shaq. King Jonathan, and AJE, they’re going to be relying on him to play significant snaps again this season before the return of DE1 AJE was anywhere from 20%-60% of snaps throughout the regular season last year, with being consistently in the 45ish range the last few week of the regular season and into the playoffs. I expect that number to remain pretty consistent again this year, especially early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par73 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Keep hearing about the Bills depth on the D-Line. Unfortunately, it is all mediocre (other than Miller)--- lacking in quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 They should have let him stay bulky. I feel like his strength was a large part of his game and they tried to make him into a speed rusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how they believed in Spencer Brown. The list goes on and on. The fact that "Bills Brass" believes in someone doesn't equate to success.

He's not elite, he's not a game changer, he's average at best, and he's replaceable. I have no issues with him not being in a Bills uniform. I would assume 100% of our 4th string pass rushers (behind Miller, Floyd, Rousseau) will be replaceable on a rookie deal, great in free agency, all a matter of price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that crossroads, he’s a good player making fair contributions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) The guy seems to have some decent production each year, sure he's not a Von Miller but he is a threat to get to the QB we have had much worse pass rushers than him . If he makes another jump this season from his what 6 sack season last yr to say 8+ i won't think of him as some do here which seems to be not very good .
