Greg Rousseau has turned out to be a complete slug.

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

The 19 year old that they hate in Chicago for the same reasons people hated him here?

I have to say this is one of the more interesting debates I've seen on TSW lately. Good points on both sides.

I don't know...

 

Of the 8 sacks the Texans got, only one or two featured reps where the DE absolutely whipped the OT and made a play. Most of them came after getting stonewalled initially, but the ball didn't come out and the OT disengaged to avoid a holding penalty.  

 

Meanwhile, the ball seems to come out on time against the Bills quite a bit, and if it doesn't the offense seems to anticipate that and has the back or TE chip/protect. There's also rarely pressure up the middle after the injuries to Oliver and Hoecht.

 

Makes it pretty impossible to get sacks if the ball is coming out quick and the pocket is clean.

And the crazy thing is if you put Groot on the Texans, I think he’ll look like an All-Pro!!! Some teams just know how to get the best out of players.

So despite the fact that he's beating people up on the regular, Greg Rousseau is a problem because 2 years from now the Bills might want to restructure his contract?

Good grief man, talk about borrowing trouble.....

 Not so much that they may need to restructure, but that paying Rousseau has to have SOME opportunity cost when it comes to building the rest of the roster.

 

you can think despite of all that, he’s earning his keep. That’s fair I think. I just think at a certain point, paying B+ players makes team building harder.
