Rousseau and Epenesa

Are turning into game changers. Rousseau especially, but don't discount what AJ is doing too.

everyone is freaking out about Von being gone, and it is a reasonable concern

however, everyone is discounting what he has likely been teaching these guys the entire time.

Rousseau impacts so many plays, not just rushing the passer. He knocked down a couple of big throws yesterday, due to his sheer height and reach.

Re: Rousseau and Epenesa

Really exciting to see both of them stepping up this year. And should note that creating pressure is not only on the DEs. We have a really exciting collection of defensive lineman across the board. None replaces Von Miller, but almost all of them are fully capable of blowing @$$^ up.

KC gave up 28 points to the worst offense in the league this week. You think they aren't worried about their defense? Losing Von was a gut punch, but we're still in good shape.

It is really nice to see. But Von had more than double the number of pressures anyone else had. Big loss

Love watching these guys bust their ass to make up for it.

Go Bills !!

Well, we can't go expecting Rousseau to replicate Von, that would be silly. You can't replace a guy like Von.

I feel like the football gods have one more gut punch in store for us. I think it's destiny that we lose another Super Bowl but this time to the juggernaut in Philly to complete the NFC East ownage of the Bills.

Rousseau definitely, but the real chaos starter on the DL is Oliver, that dude has been humming since getting back in the lineup.

What’s going to be interesting is how Rousseau reacts to be targeted by defensive coordinators going forward. Could open up some opportunities for both Epenesa and Basham.

And Ed Oliver too.

The added wrinkle is Groot is effective lining up interiorly as well. Keying becomes a problem

Oliver is a big cause of a lot of sacks/plays for a loss. On one of Rousseau's sacks (I think the first one), Oliver busted through the line and grabbed White, who managed to escape directly into Rousseau.

Ed doesn't have huge sack numbers, but he's probably the MVP of the D-line right now, IMO.

+1, he’s so disruptive. The front 7 controlled this game
