Props for AJ

[BillsFan619]

Because of the overall play of Bernard in the Commanders game (well deserved), not really seeing the love for AJ.

 

This was an awesome play. Give AJ his props. Go Bills!

Thicc Six. My favorite play in football.

Why doesn't he do this every week?

AJE has definitely flashed at times. He was the right guy to keep over Boogie and he's shown improvement as a pass rusher each year in the league IMO. Teams need guys like him that can step in and give you some snaps a game.

 

That all said, I'd still like to see him improve in the run game at setting the edge. But as far as a backup DE he's good.

Are we going so far as giving him flowers too or just props? Flowers is one step above props, right?

Yes he was the right guy to keep over Boogie. He'll be a nice #4 rotational pass rusher after Groot, Floyd & Von.  He still has to develop his pass rush moves.

Brings something a little bit different.  Seems to play with a bit more of an edge and physicality.  

[SCBills]

I like AJE and think he still has more potential.

 

TBH, I hope we let Gabe walk, and focus on (if it's possible) extending Floyd, Jones and Epenesa.   Bring back Lawson and Phillips on cheap deals and draft a space eating DT.  

 

Through three games, it looks like Beane finally got the DL right and we're seeing how incredibly important that is. 

 

AJE is showing to be a splash player off the edge that brings consistent pressure for a rotational guy.  His length and athleticism, along with Floyd and Rousseau "could" be a game changer against Tua and that quick rhythm passing attack.

I think AJE will be key to this weeks game.

 

Tua gets the ball out so quick I believe the best way to attack him is to bull rush and get your hands up. Taking it wide and you’ll be ineffective.

 

I believe he’s our best DE at doing just that.

It's because McD just insists on that D-line rotation. We will also never have a 20+ sack guy because of this!

[WotAGuy]

That’s not even AJ Klein in the video. Fail. 

[JJGauna]

With the stiff arm to add insult to injury lol, great play!

[Rc2catch]

I was just watching his hit on Tua a couple years ago where Epenesa broke him. He was in sooooooo fast 

[Nephilim17]

If the dude can hit 8 sacks this year, and he had 6.5 in 2022, I'll be happy. He's not going to be a star but he can be a solid player.

[Big Turk]

It's almost like every dude that was underperforming last year under Frazier is performing at a much higher level this year...Oliver(for the most part), AJE, etc...

 

Kinda like the Granato effect with the Sabres where the good players suddenly became good again and actually reached new heights in their careers...

Flowers > props for sure

[Success]

It's not a play or 2, either - he's very noticeable on a lot of plays now.  Looks like the guy we thought we might get when he was drafted.

 

[Low Positive]

I hate it when a guy that we draft "figures it out" in his contract year.
