Bryce Huff tied Quinnen Williams for team lead with 3 QB pressures yesterday

[AFJF]

And he only played NINE snaps.

More reps, please.  The kid has always won his one-on-ones but leaky secondary made it a moot point.  Better DB's could mean Huff actually picks up some sacks.

[CanadaSteve]

Not to be a poo-poo head, but I am looking forward to a time when we can see some statistics of getting to the QB, rather than players who lead the team in ALMOST getting to the QB.

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Lol. Hopefully??? Or you could just...make him active. 

[Darnold's Forehead]

“Hopefully” someone can remind Bob that he’s the head coach.  Stop playing JFM on the edge and Shephard and Thomas on the inside.  
At this point it’s a real shame JJ/Huff don’t get most snaps opposite Lawson.

[Sperm Edwards]

He had a couple - one I remember, or thought I remembered seeing - where he was held pretty badly, too, with no call. 

There was a 3rd & long where all the commentators wanted to discuss was whether or not there was defensive holding on Sauce. Huff would’ve had him. 

That’s in addition to the one they did call that we declined because Q got to him anyway & that made it 4th & 18, so we weren’t going to give them a chance to convert a 1st down after backing them up just 5 yards.

So those were 2 good plays he got credit for nothing or next to nothing instead of the pair of sacks he’d have likely racked up. Stats, shmats. He looked good rushing the passer without getting injured.

LOL...my first thought when he said that.  Just want a reporter to remind him that the decision regarding Huff's playing time is his and there's no limit to the number of snaps he can use him on.

[genot]

Suggested in a post last week to give him the snaps Lawson has been getting. Lawson has been awful. We don't lose any more in run defense with Huff. Gain a lot rushing the passer

[CTJetsFan]

Huff, Clemons and JJ give us a nice set of young, up and coming game wrecking pass rushers. If Lawson doesn't work out, we will still be ok at the position.

We need an explanation on why he was inactive the first three weeks, and this is not cutting it.

[bla bla bla]

Huff should be starting opposite Lawson with Q and JFM on the inside

[GreenFish]

He should be the main guy rotating with Lawson. 60/40

If it were me (percentage of total reps)

Edge: Lawson/Huff 60/40

Edge: Johnson/Clemons 50/50

DT: Quinnen/JFM/Rankins/Thomas/Shep 60/60/50/15/15

Martin is getting too many reps

[Chewy and the Jets]

I'm just concerned that the rotation they are employing means Huff won't play again until GB...

Explanation:  i play the veterans, so Lawson and flacco start.

Yes, but one could argue that the play that Picket threw the INT to Carter essentially costing his team the game was him backing up with 2 on coming pass rushers. Now that to me is better than a sack since most sacks don't result in fumbles and if he is sacked there maybe we do not get the ball back in such good field position at the 25 yard line and then go on for the game winning score. We just need consistent pressure from the DLine, that is what the 4 man line in a 4-3 is for. Huff and JJ seem to be getting it going helping the bigger name DLineman in Lawson and Williams. If those 4 along with some pressure from JFM and Solomon keep it up and we could develop a pretty decent pass rush already accompanied by a good run defense that is ranked 13th.

Can’t argue this too much. I think JFM has value on the edge but, with so many good edges on the roster, he should be playing more inside to give those guys snaps. I want to see more of the best guys playing, too. Not the coach’s favorite vet, or the GM’s expensive new pickup. I’m still fairly optimistic that they’ll figure it out with the scope of their DL rotation. The analytics will have to come into play. 

[Charlie Brown]

The problem as I see it is the team plays favorites and you can't do that with an average team at best and then expect to be immune from fair criticism.

he should get a t-shirt made up for his next go around in Dallas gym

Uh Uh. With both of them on outside, we'd get killed in the run game. Go with the hot hand on one side. Huff or Lawson.

I think you could roll with JFM or Johnson on the outside on early downs but in passing situations you pin your ears back with Huff and Lawson.

[slimjasi]

And he was on the field for 9 snaps? LOL

I don’t get it

YES

I don’t get why Huff isn’t on the field more

Stand Huff up at OLB, behind Johnson or Clemons on passing downs. Just a thought. I get your point, and it's a good one.

Hopefully,  he'll see more time now. They expected a lot more from Lawson, and haven't been getting what they,(and we) expected.

[Gastineau Lives]

Its not like this comes out of nowhere. He was unblockable in the practice and the green and white. It stood out.

The fact that Nathan Shepherd sees the field is baffling.

I know it's not as sexy and doesn't always result in a stop, but if you get enough pressures, you're going to impact some plays.

Certainly enjoyed Rex’s blitzes back in the day but, outside of the occasional CB/S blitz, Saleh’s whole defensive philosophy is based on getting to the QB with the four down linemen. That’s the point of his controversial DL rotation, to have all of their legs fresh and running after the QB all game.

I think Saleh, like Rex, is a little hard headed, and it will hurt him at times during the course of the season. You have to adapt, you have to do the unexpected. It what separates an average defense from a good one. A good defense from a great defense.

I dunno why he's even on the roster.  He's like 37.

[Spoot-Face]

So, what you're saying is, Bryce Huff should've been drafted in the first round?

Lawson will have to pick things up moving forward if he is going to be back here next year. 15mm is a big # when they will be looking to sign Quinnen.

Jermaine Johnson is looking good so far, hopefully Lawson is rusty from a year off.  When you look at his career sack totals I am thinking this is going to be it for him this year.

It would be disappointing re: the progress of some of our other guys if Lawson isn't considered expendable next year.

[RESNewYork]

Lawson is coming back from ACL. Doesn't it take playing time to get back to form?

How many true 3rd downs passing situations are there with no fear of the run. When you bring in a DPR. Maybe 9 a game? 

[RedBeardedSavage]

I like Huff, but is he not one-dimensional?

If he's truly that bad against the run, I understand him being deactivated for the Ravens and Browns' games... don't understand why he'd be out for the Bengals.

Anyway, does anyone else think JFM not only sucks at rushing but also gives up the edge way too frequently v the run? Lawson just does his thing every play and it's annoying, but he does get pressure. JFM seemingly does not apply pressure and is a liability on the edge v the run?

I cannot cite any stats, I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this or I'm just batsh*t crazy.

I'd like to see more JJ II and Clemons on 1st and 2nd with Huff seeing more third down plays.

My sentiments exactly.

With that said, Huff seems to have had an impact of sorts in his time on the field, enough to perhaps earn more time on the field this week, I could see that as valid.
