Groot’s development


Toledo Bill

Recommended Posts

He's another example of Beane not hitting on his first or second round picks. 

 

That same year Miami took Jaelen Phillips. His impact is much greater. 

 

I dont know the issue overall but there are too many DEs on this roster making a lot of money to not impact the QB more. Last night was a perfect example. The fact we are having to blitz as often as we are says alot about where this group is at.

Bold prediction:  Once Linval Joseph is on the field more and Douglas is in at CB full-time, the rest of our DL will look way better.

 

This defense has been reeling from the injuries, AND playing against an elite QB like Burrow did not help.  Hosting Russell Wilson on MNF and then Zach Wilson seem like a great get-right spots for this D-line.

I honestly don't know what to think about anyone on this defense.  

 

When everyone is healthy, the defense is an absolute unit.

 

When we have injuries, or anyone gets dinged up, they severely underperform playing through injury and/or apparently need elite talent around them to perform at a high level - specifically on the DL.

Say what you want about groo, but last night in that last 3rd down for the bengals, if Groot was on the field over Von, I think Groot makes that tackle. Von sucks

 

Von needs to get back to IR.  He's not helping.  If the Bills somehow fall ass backwards into the playoffs maybe reactivate him so we can watch in wonder as he arcs 20 yards past the QB as we watch middling RBs run right past where he should have been.  You don't get to see that sort of talent just anywhere

The D Line seemed stout last night and other than the 1st drive they made Burrow uncomfortable.  

 

I feel the same about the D line....  then you look at the box score and the D as a whole gave up 397 total yards, 53% 3rd down conversions and forced zero takeaways.  They really are no match at the 2nd and 3rd levels for for Burrows quick release, accuracy and decision making.

I think he needs to be on the field more than he is already. 

I agree with this. We need our best players on the field as much as possible.
 

I understand going out for a play or two or three, but I would like to see Rousseau out there constantly.

Burrow is elite.  Considering how little our offense could stay on the field, it’s borderline shocking we didn’t get buried.
