Bosa ? we forget about him so quickly.

 

 

Yes, I forgot about him, simply because we know he won't be healthy for a significant portion of the season.

yea. Most folks predict that.

I am not one of them. But he is a blue chip player regardless

Pro Football reference ranks the Bills DE's as Bruce [GOAT Bills D-Lineman], Schobel, Hughes, Hansen.  Would be happy if he was the next Schobel or Hansen.

Pretty sad when Hughes is considered a top 3 defensive end in Bills history. Only two seasons with 10 sacks, zero pro bowls, zero all pros. The Bills don't really have a great history of pass rushers outside of Bruce Smith. Schobel was pretty darn good, though.

Bryce Paup should be on the list.

Probably because he only played 3 years with the Bills.

Yes, he fell quite a bit there…..literally. 

With multiple tumbles and misfooting I can’t help but wonder if he had the wrong cleats for whatever the turf or conditions were.
Was that a trend in real game action throughout his college career?

Man Wade Phillips had an eye for talent, but jeez just put the head sets on, so frustrating🙄

I’ve only watched college highlights, so of course there was none of that. I hadn’t thought about the cleats, but that could have been an issue. It reminded me of Chop Robinson getting his weight too far in front of him and Dawkins (for some reason unbeknownst to me) got penalized for taking advantage of it by simply pushing him to the ground. 

 

I like his motor, but they’ll have to coach that out of him.

I hope this post ages well.

I hereby bequeath upon our young lad Jackson the entirety of bad attitude that made Bryce Paup the bad man he was  ....19 sacks helped.

More i watch tape, the more i love this pick

I think the Bills are looking at some changes schematically and it began last year. It started with selecting Soloman in the draft, a much smaller quicker pass rusher than what they typically go for. Then there is the fact that the Bills began playing more man coverage throughout the year. And now drafting a CB with off the charts speed that can play man. Also, drafting another 3 tech DT when everyone thought it would be a 1 tech. The Bills still like their scheme, but it seems they are gradually mixing things up and we are going to see more of that this year.

 

There is a lot of conversation about how other defenses have adapted to stop a Josh Allen led offense. With the way Buffalo's defense performed last year, perhaps it has become clear that offenses have found ways to combat a Bill's defense. I'm just speculating, but I have a hunch the new additions aren't just replacements for a specific defensive scheme. It seems to be about scheme diversity. These additions allow the Bills to mix up not only types of coverage but also defensive line rotations with guys that have different skill-sets. The potential is there for the Dline to wreak some havoc by mixing up the scheme and the type of player on that line. Not sure how they intend to do it. It does look like they can be more flexible now though. To me Landon Jackson is just another piece that allows for a diverse rotation.

To sum it up...It's about Damn time!

He is Uncle Festers son!!!

I just think people need to stop looking at him like a big time sack threat. After watching more & more on the guy, it seems very likely he's there to help on run plays first & foremost.

Also, Greg Cosell said Dorian Strong is mostly a man cornerback. I love the idea of a diverse defense that can adjust on the fly, change things up, and surprise offenses. The constant zone, especially with a fading Douglas, an overmatched Hamlin, and a tepid pass rush, was just asking for teams to attack.

At the beginning of last year, I think they thought the pass rush would be better than it was and that the back end would be better too. It wasn't. That is why the scheme was adjusted. Some of those adjustments worked and now they are going to implement some more changes. The game is evolving and the Bills must also or get left behind.

I have a very very good feeling about him. He’s got star quality for sure. Obviously not the first thing you’re looking for but…. Very recognizable guy.

I'll be disappointed if he's Shaq Lawson.

I disagree. I think he has all the tools of a pass rusher. But I think he can be good against the run as well.
