From PFF.com via BuffaloBills.com -
-I believe we are seeing the emergence ofMarcell Dareus as a defensive force for the Bills, the way most people envisioned him when the team made him the third overall pick in the draft in 2011. Dareus is coming off one of the best games of his career against the Dolphins on Sunday. Playing 79-percent of the Bills defensive snaps, Dareus finished with six total tackles against Miami. The analytics folks at Pro Football Focus credit him with four stops in the game (they define “stops” as the cumulative number of solo defensive tackles which constitute an offensive failure ((including sacks)). This means tackles made 7-8 yards downfield after a gain by the offense are not counted as stops. For the season, PFF ranks Dareus number one in the league among Defensive tackles with 26 stops.
-Besides the interception return for the touchdown, Robey only allowed one pass completion out of his slot corner spot against Miami. That was a five yard Ryan Tannehill pass to Brandon Gibson.
Again, back to the PFF.com numbers—they say Robey has allowed just 0.54 yards per coverage for the snaps he’s taken in the slot corner spot, 2nd best in the NFL. And PFF says he hasn’t given up a touchdown yet—and opposing quarterbacks have a QB rating of 35.8 when they throw into Robey’s coverage. That’s the best in the NFL.
A lot of people on here agree the Robey pickup was a good one, but Dareus gets a lot of undeserved hate. Discuss.
