Most DTs don't get a lot of sacks because they do the dirty work inside occupying blockers, enabling the edge rushers to get the sacks.  Pass rushing DTs like Oliver are exceptions which is what makes them so valuable.

 

Yup...and then you have the unicorns like DaQuan Jones that can do both well which are worth their weight in platinum. and that's a huge mound of platinum.

Confusion...So people are trolls for wanting the Bills to make a move for a guy like Joseph. But then the Bills sign Joseph the people that wanted him are clueless trolls? Makes no sense...

 

BBMB "Troll" - The Bills need to sign a guy like Linval Joseph 

BBMB "non-Troll" - The Bills dont need to do anything. This roster is stacked and I trust Beane. You are a clueless troll. 

 

Bills sign Joseph...

BBMB "non-Troll" - Great move by

Beane. I hope this shuts up the clueless trolls. Beane knows what he is doing.

 

I think Dablitzkrieg was being sarcastic.

I feel like its really hard to get a ton of non-clean up sacks as a 1T.  Not only do you have to likely split a double team, but you're right in the QBs face and he's likely to try and escape since its the first thing they'll see.

DaQuan was very good at forcing the defenders back into the QB and flushing the QB right into someone else like Oliver or Rousseau or breaking free and forcing the QB to try and get away from him which led to bad plays...sacks, throw aways and INTs.  Dude was a pass rushing force from the inside, had one of the highest pass rush win rates for an interior DT. He got some sacks but a lot of sacks other players had were basically DaQuan doing 80% of the work.

I think Beane realizes this roster took a step back with the 3 big defensive losses. As a fan who never expected him to be aggressive. and then watch him cover  2 positions with proven quality, I am appreciative.

We don't know if this is all going to work, but credit to Beane for taking the swings and not punting on the season.

We could really use him & Douglas against the Bengals. It will be interesting to see how much both play, if at all.

 

This is such a key game for the season.  We have left little margin for error with bad losses to the Jets & Pats. Now, the pressure is on to beat the better teams on our schedule.  Feels like we have to win 2 of 3 out of Cincy, KC & Philly..

I just have one thing I wonder about.  How comfortable will he be if the Bills play him versus the Bengals?  Yes, I read the post about him coming in and playing right away last year at Philadelphia, but I don't know how similar the defenses are.  Is Buffalo's defense pretty similar to what he's played in the past?  At his age, I imagine the Bills would view him as a rotational player.
