Itโ€™s really not dumb

If someone is consistently pressuring the QB and forcing quicker throws or throwaways thatโ€™s absolutely more valuable than a sack every once and a while

Do you know how many players end up with sacks off other players pressures due to the QB stepping up in the pocket or scrambling?

You should just quit having such staunch and arrogant opinions on things you donโ€™t have a clue about

Great
Pressure the passer AND sack him once in a while

Bc itโ€™s ABSOLUTELY INARGUABLE that 3rd & 18 is WORSE than 3rd & 8

No, heโ€™s not
Heโ€™s not even โ€œgoodโ€

Heโ€™s an alright player whoโ€™s good at times
But lacking as a #1 pass rusher

Just ask Mahomes, heโ€™ll agree

I'd rather pay Milano and do absolutely nothing about the D-line then lose him and sign some 300lb run stuffer.

I swear people are nuts- 13-3 AFC championship game, with an amazing passing offense and good pass defense, so let's go get RB's and D tackles instead of continuing to help pass protection and pass coverage

- sbroads24

Well Star was always coming back, and they can't pay Feliciano, Williams and Milano, so pick your poison

Just a little info if anyone cares, some players I was told are unhappy with Ralph and his in game coaching due to him not having much structure with the players and his game plan. Apparently also, he has had some " words" with Joker.
- SABRES 89

The man literally has admitted he isn't doing much coaching.

It's like Pegulaville's "Run and stop the run" argument personified in human form and coaching an NHL team.

And he did what against Mahomes?

Using a grading system that gives points for pressures is great
But he had 2.5 sacks in 15 regular season games
Thatโ€™s just not good

Pressuring the QB is great
But the good ones can still make plays when pressured
They canโ€™t when theyโ€™re sacked

I know the post season is more important
But itโ€™s a 3game sample size
His regular season was lacking, as always

Why canโ€™t a guy who gets so many pressures get more sacks?!

Sacks are a terrible way to solely evaluate pass rushers

Hughes was great this year

Was ranked #2 in pass rush win % in the entire NFL

He did his job

- sbroads24

Don't be surprised if he gets another extension, push the can down the road a little bit.

You mean 4.5? And 3 in the post season.

Pretending he isn't "good" is could not be more wrong.

But you won't move off of it

Again, wrong.

Hey Michah Hyde had just one interception. What gives? He must've sucked this year, right?

Take out the Jets game where he had 2 sacks
That leaves only 2.5sacks in the other 15games

Again, pressures are nice
But good QBs still make plays when pressured
That donโ€™t when theyโ€™re sacked


No, sacks are not the end all be all,
but they are important
And i expect more than 5 or 6 sacks from my starting DEs

Just bc you donโ€™t value them,
doesnโ€™t mean they arenโ€™t valuable

Hard to do a job when you aren't qualified for it whatsoever.

This organization refuses to pony up for an actual coach. Babcock, Gallant, Boudreau and we have a honk-nosed soccer coach who "doesn't do much coaching" and wants his modern NHL players to "play a defensive system" and then plays career fringe-NHL players 15 minutes a night because they're "responsible in their own end".

I'm almost completely done with this team.

Mostly fair points, which i AGREE with
Just saying,
thereโ€™s a big reason why Ralph IS here
Having the support of your โ€œfranchiseโ€ player give him latitude
So does having a guy like Hall sign here specifically just to play for him

At the end of the day,
weโ€™re gonna have to deal with his decisions (like them or not) bc Eichel & Hallโ€™s support have given him that latitude
