Thrivefourfive Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Fine for this game. But if you haven’t heard, we already beat the Steelers and it’s on to KC. In THAT game, Espenesa and Rousseau need to tackle Mahomes and push him into Oliver/Jones/Joseph in the middle. Can’t be letting Pat run around those edges.

He has really small arms relative to other d lineman and that was the one red Flag for him coming into the NFL Yea Ed's arm length is below the ideal for a Dlineman. He isn't Calijah Kancey, who has sub 30 inch arms or anything but it is on the smaller end. Ed is 31.75. Aaron Donald is also on the smaller end at 32.5 compared to someone like Chris Jones who is 34.5. I do think it has probably cost Ed half a dozen sacks or so over the years where he has been right there and just not had that bit of extra length to drag a guy down. But he has still been a disruptor inside. Outside when backs are trying to run at your outside shoulder those long arms matter way, way more. And that is why Groot is so good in those situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 14 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: I must admit I haven't watched much of the Rams. But Donald is playing some DE this game. Some with a 4 man front some with a 3 man front. Two questions... 1. Has he done this a lot in the past? 2. Any chance McD is watching and we see Jones and Joseph at DT with Oliver at DE? That puts our three best run defenders on the line. Not sure if McD has ever thought of it but i have always wanted to see the Bills put Oliver at DE just for few plays a game to keep the opposition guessing & with his great first step i bet he could raise some hell out there ...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 13 hours ago, Buffalo716 said: He has rushed from the outside occasionally over 4 years... I think he's even landed a sack He's usually better stunting around the tackle from the three technique spot though Yeah. Basically, we can do that. However, with Rousseau and Floyd already in place and needing to replace Oliver with Poona Ford in the middle the situations where it's useful are limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
