Twitter: Osa Second Amongst DT’s in Pressures

[JohnsKey19]

Didn't he get injured, which slowed him down?

Probably physically just wore down. Forced to play more snaps than expected as a rookie due to injuries at the position.

Damn salary cap is gonna wreck it!! I hate that crap....but, I'll enjoy as long as I can.

Gotta get Emperor Jerry Palpatine to convince the defense they only play well when they're together, otherwise the force is weakened.

No , i Think he hit the rookie wall around 12 games

The Cowboys have played 3 teams in the top 4 in sacks allowed (Bengals, Rams and Commanders) and the Giants who are 8th in sacks allowed. Not taking anything away from the Cowboys pass rush but statistics can be misleading. This week is an important week for Dallas's defense.

we've seen a game or two like this from him before. lets see if he can keep it up.

He had a really solid season last year and he’s building on it
Just like Armstrong, it’s not an over night thing with most players. You have to have patience
But both show potential to be really solid players

Part of that is because they played us though
And some is bad olines

its so nice to actually WANT to see the defense on the field

Run stop seems to be the biggest weakness on the line, in my opinion. If we can solidify that this defense will be ridiculous.

Osa started great last year too and then faded quite a bit. Let's seecif he can sustain this year.

That's not unusual for rookies. Hopefully a year in an NFL conditioning program makes a difference.

The one sack he got due to other around him. Hill is the superior DT.

Nobody has liked your post or agreed with it. Hill is playing better than he ever has, but Osa is still better. By a lot.

You probably believe PFF’s grade about Diggs that he is terrible. They are not the de facto standard. Hill is a more compete DT with ability to create pressure and stop the run.

Completely disagree about Hill v Osa but either way, I am happy to see Hill making an impact. I don't follow PFF's rankings at all so try another argument. What is nice about that play is that it was all backups on the DL except for Parsons...Williams, Golston, and Hill.

Yes, he's another one of Risens JAGS. LOL

 

[Knotamus]

Played really well this week, excited to see him build on his interior pass rush potential.

Not trying to bust bubbles here because this defense is for real…

As far as Osa and Watson, let’s keep things in perspective..

The Rams interior OL was their weakest links.. playing with a 3rd string C and back up G’s..

I’d love to expect this from them every week, but I’d bet it won’t. That said, he’s still been playing great all year. But I’m not going to think he’ll wreck the Eagles OL. (Fingers crossed that I’m wrong)

Dude you basically made him 2nd coming of AD after one sack. Your statement would have been valid if you said Tresten Hill.


“Funny he is 2nd to Donald...the guy he reminds me of. Obviously not nearly as good but he has that type of game...he just needs to get home more but Micah and CO are stealing a lot of sacks from him haha”

I literally made this comparison in the offseason if we want to be exact. He has a few traits....namely his explosion. He isn't nearly as good as him but i predicted a pro bowl for him this year.

Sorry this hurts your feelings so much.

I worry about the run D still

The Eagles will be a stout test. If we can limit their run game, it will ease one of my big fears.

We get enough of a pass rush as it is; I am more worried about how he plays the RUN.

It's hard to have "enough" pass rush. You sound pretty high on the hog making that statement. Lol. Good for us, it's a beautiful thing having these guys terrorizing qbs all game.

 

[Cebrin]

Next Gen stats had Micah with 9 pressures yesterday.

Maybe they count the choke holds he receives every game.
