Greg Rousseau has turned out to be a complete slug.

My brother has been saying the same thing. Hope that you guys are right. While I didn’t like the contract, he has had a knack for making big plays. 

I mean sure he's not absolutely horrible 

 

He's probably between 20 and 32 for an inside linebacker in the NFL 

 

Probably a 5 to 6 million a year player we gave him double because he had one good year... And we were pressing because we let our pro bowl middle linebacker walk who was actually top 10

 

He makes some plays... Not consistently anymore and he's always hurt and slower

I am a firm believer that smaller players get injured more often.  I have no data to back this up but it makes sense.  We tend to prioritize small defenders with the idea being they would be faster.  Problem is our small defenders are also slow.  
 

small slow and injured is no way to build a D

We live in a time when you can research pretty much anything.  Hey I would have agreed with you but the human brain lies all the time. 
 

No, smaller NFL players do not necessarily have more injuries

; in fact, some research suggests larger players get hurt more often when controlling for position, though running back is a notable exception where smaller players are more injury-prone. Injury risk is more strongly linked to factors like playing time, usage, and position-specific demands rather than just body size.

I know it wasn't sustainable but when Oliver went out he was on pace for 17 sacks and 40 tackles for loss 

That’s a Kyle Williams/Marcel Darrius Stat line combined from their best years.  👏👏

Even still.  Two players who are both CBs and one is 210 and the other is 180, who holds up better to a full season of tackling and all that?  Who is more likely to have thinner ankles and roll them more? Or smaller bone structures? 
 

Milano has clearly carried too much muscle for his frame and had multiple muscle injuries.

Taron Johnson!!!  (Always dinged up)

 

Terell Bernard.  (Same)

 

Dalton Kincaid. (Will he play against Pittsburgh?)

 

At least Sam Franklin (who plays harder than anyone on the team) hasn’t gotten hurt.

 

An interesting fact and hypothesis.  He was signed right before the season started.  He did not have time to be indoctrinated into the Bills lackadaisical training camp and culture all offseason. Instead he just came in and balled out.  
 

McDermott has taken  the McNasty out of our team!!  A little more each and every year.  And this is what we are left with.
