A shout out to DaQuan Jones

[Simon]

He's a legit badass but he's not a loud or flashy guy so he doesn't get a lot of play around here. But for the last couple months he's been an absolute freaking rock out there.

After the Bills lost Oliver he quickly realized how important he was going to be to this team going forward and he's completely taken on a leadership role and been working like a galdanged demon.

That position is never going to show up on a stat sheet but he's taken on a huge number of extra snaps and if you watch closely you'll see he's been absolutely playing his heart out and has also been effective while doing it. I think that leadership and heart have been recognized by his teammates and because of it other guys, particularly the youngsters, are raising their games in response.

The Bills defense has had some serious issues over the last couple months, but he has not been one of them. And while it hasn't been pretty for the unit as a whole, it would be soooo much worse if not for what this dude has been bringing to the table every week.

Much respect DaQuan, you are a grown-assed man.

when people talk about the improvement of our linebackers they need to realize that is partially because of the improvement of our interior DL. specifically Jones.

[BearNorth]

PFF has been saying this much of this year. they have him ranked 7th among interior DL.

[BuffaloBill]

Yep, especially since Deone Walker for all of the early flashes has graded out as middle to bottom among interior linemen.  I am hopeful that an offseason program will lift his play but for now he is not looking like the monster we had hoped he will be.

[machine gun kelly]

Agreed Jones has been great and appreciate his consistency.  I don’t agree Walker has been inconsistent or invisible.  He’s been one of the most impactful players of this draft other than maybe Hairston if he gets to play more.  Walker can grow into a heck of a player or at least a chance and he’s 4th rd.  He’s doing better than his 2nd and 3rd rd players picked in that draft.

 

Enjoy the win Bills fans as it was significant.  Now we have the Rocky vs. Clubber Lang matchup next week, and maybe we get the movie result this time.

 

 

My feelings about Sunday,  “You Aints so bad, you ain’t so bad, your nothing”, “I’ll kill you”, “Yeah, I ain’t breathing heavy”.

 

I don’t care if it’s the division.  We need to put the fear of god in them for the playoffs, “they ain’t so bad”.  No more Elvis.

 

Watch Rocky 3  our Rock, JA.  Just win Rock.  No fear. No fear.

 

In my own young life, I don’t accept fear to bullies.  They surprised us.  Time to surprise them, and  let them know we are the AFCE champs.  
 

Make it so.  No fear guys.  Beat these bastages back into humility like the last five years.  Show them BUFFALO!  I’m sick of the fear and tenuousness.  We have the QB on the planet for years.  Let it out.

 

I hope McD goes for it early and often.  They are not perfect.  I can’t stand the armchair AB’s acting like they walk on water.  They are just another team to beat.  We don’t know today who we get back Sunday.  Bosa, Kinkaid a little better, ans wait til the playoffs with Oliver.  We’ll show them who is the champs.

 

No more fears.  Beat these guys and scare everyone else the Bills Mafia is back.

 

ok that’s my hype video for the week.  I don’t know about you, but I told my wife who didn’t know me as a youngin, when I was hit I didn’t get scared, I was pirsed.  Hit them worse.

 

This team is tough.  Time to not dissect everything, but get behind them.  Thefts my position.  You’re welcome to discuss yours as that’s your right.

Walker still show flashes. And to my annoyance, he often makes great plays on 2nd down so gets immediately taken out for 3rd downs. Yet, he is making plays. Leave the hot hand in. Only rotate when things are "normal"

My favorite pairing is him next to JP. I like our 2 big guys in there at the same time.

I saw I series yesterday when dj walker answered tj were all in the line at the same time.  Dj and walker froze the line of scrimmage and tj can down and made the tackle for the loss. 

[finn]

I noticed DaQuan, too, ironically because I expect not to notice him. It's like, "Wow, nice play. Oh, it's DaQuan--again." He's playing with so much energy, I keep thinking it's Walker, a much younger guy. 

[MarlinTheMagician]

Love Daquan, really like Walker.  And, like Scuba Guy,  swear I saw TJ Sanders make a play yesterday.  Thought I got the number wrong!

That's a fair assessment. 

 

I will admit, I don't see him that often during the game. I focus on the EDGE rushers more than anything. And of course, that position never pops on the stat sheet.

I love seeing JP make big plays for us just because of how much he truly loves being a Buffalo Bill.

Both 6'6" plus and 340. 2 guys demanding double teams in the middle plugs things up good. Agree on Jp. I'm kinda surprised we haven't seen Shaq at all.

I bet he too would give 150%

[Haslett_Stomp]

I haven't become used to seeing Phillips as #52 and keep wondering who that is on the field.
