Michael Hoecht Achilles Injury (Confirmed torn Achilles out for the year)

Wonder if Javon Solomon gets more reps.

Mr. Brightside sez: when you sign a player like Hoecht, you hope that he's responsible for adding a win or two by making pivotal plays.

Hoecht made a difference in two games, and without him we very well might've lost yesterday.

He was a monster for us yesterday and last week. Bosa get's through because of Hoecht.

This is a massive loss for the Bills.

 

Lets pump the brakes a bit.

 

He's a guy whose best year was 6 sacks. Really nice player, would have helped a lot. A LOT. But lets not act like the Bills lost 1992 Bruce Smith here.

The way some are talking about this guy is absolutely lunacy

 

Keep in mind the Chiefs Oline hasn't been good in two years and was missing starters again yesterday

Probably not even Bryce Paup either.  In all seriousness, he was a really good fit for this defense and brought a lot of energy and versatility that they are going to miss.

He’s 26 years old. Only has one full starting season (last year) which was his highest sack total (6.) He was definitely trending upwards. Now we’ll probably never know.

Of course he's out for the season... Happens every year then we go into the playoffs with a depleted defense and lose every time... when do we catch a break??

Well, if it's worst case scenario, that would not only knock him out for this year but would wreck his next season as well. 

 

Confirmed

Dre’mont Jones on the Titans, he was a monster for them today playing in a very similar role.  On a one year $10M deal, not sure how they’d be able to structure it.  But he would be a viable replacement.

Welp - Ravens just got him for a 5th.  Would’ve been perfect.

Unless Landon Jackson comes back...

Can he technically come back if he never actually arrived?

[MAJBobby]

Ok where this will be noticed is he rushes from the inside for Oliver. 
 

now maybe Groot takes this and you get a de like Solomon or Epenesa.

I'm not an X's and O's guy but the difference in the Bills pass rush before and after he left the game looked noticeable to me. If someone here has compared him to Bruce by all means call that person out. In the mean time I'll be thrilled if I see the same pass rush going forward without Hoecht
