ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Greg Rousseau started the season with a three-sack game against the Cardinals. Since then, the edge rusher has totaled just 2.5 sacks through nine games. Despite the stats not showing Rousseau's effect on the opposing offense, his presence and ability to impact the game is felt on the field. Rather than focusing on the outcomes, Rousseau takes a different approach. "You can't be result-driven. You've got to be more, at least for me, I try to be more process-driven," Rousseau said. "So I know if I'm doing everything right, if I'm hitting the quarterback, when am I rushing, that's what it's all about. The sack numbers come, you really can't control that." Rousseau's development hasn't gone unnoticed. Sean McDermott recognized just because the numbers don't show the level of production of the edge rusher doesn't mean he isn't contributing on defense. "You can have a great game and not see the production on the stat sheet, but you still played a great game in terms of your rush, your technique. It's just that sometimes the quarterback gets the ball out," McDermott said. One area Rousseau has noticeably developed is using his advantages in length and strength. A stiff arm to the inside shoulder of a tackle has become a dependable winning move. "It's definitely a go-to, whenever they kick out too far, being able to just be aggressive and not try to pitter-pat with him and go outside and work moves," Rousseau said. Bobby Babich has also seen Rousseau's improvement as the season has progressed, even with a lack of stats. He gave his defensive player credit for figuring out what works for him. "I think he's finding the things that he does well, and like I've said before, he's finding what his fastball is and what his changeup is and not trying too many pitches," Babich said. "I think the more you can try to master a couple different things, as opposed to a thousand different things, you have a good shot at being pretty good at it." Playing to his strengths without a focus on outcomes, Rousseau said his process-driven approach helps him mentally. "I don't like to put numbers on things, or, 'I've got to get this,' because then it's like, you kind of fall short," Rousseau said. "I had three sacks in the first game. If you look at it like that, like, trying to get three sacks every single game, you're not going to be satisfied. That could, kind of, decrease your confidence." Rousseau is an example of trusting the process over stats, something McDermott instills in younger players. He gives them this advice: "Don't tie yourself to short term results," he said. "Master the mind, and then you can keep growing."
