He has not even started a full season's worth of games. ....initially had doubts because he's smallish, but this kid is a damn gamer.......the 5th round delivers again (HINT" Meatball)................

Jpsredemption Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I hope they let these guys fly around and make plays. That was great to see. Hope I'm wrong about Edmunds. They looked like they were thinking less and playing fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTbills Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The whole kicking the ball to himself while laying on his back thing was pretty cool. Kids a helluva playmaker. Some guys just have that, and it’s something you can’t teach or coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Wow, what a performance. One of the best LB performances by a Bill that I can remember. To think that I called him our biggest problem during the preseason is embarrassing. I salute you Matt Milano. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 That guy is the definition of gamer. Very quiet during all of preseason, but plays well when it matters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Milano played well yesterday, really everyone on the defense played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) He might have had one of the best games in Bills history in regard to linebackers. Sack, fumble recovery, INT, two pass breaks ups and 12 total tackles in one game. That's insane in the mebrane (insane in the brain) Edited September 24, 2018 by Royale with Cheese 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Milano showed more of what he was last season in games such as vs OAK. The D as a whole can take a bow after this one. With all the stuff you hear about a trap game and taking a team lightly, I’m not buying it. MIN has plenty of talent up and down their roster and had 55 minutes to wake up and get their head out of their posterior. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) In college at BC, Milano was the "viper" in DC Don Brown's defense. The viper is hybrid linebacker/safety position that is the key to Brown's defense. He usually puts his best athlete in that role. I think that BC's defense was #1 in the country Milano's senior year. Brown left BC and went to Michigan, where Jabril Peppers (Heisman finalist, 1st round pick and starting safety for the Browns) became his next viper. I was really excited with the Bills drafted Milano and it is great to see him fulfilling his potential, as he did in college. Hopefully, he can maintain this level of play and have a successful career. For a 5th round pick, the returns are looking pretty good right now.

Victory Formation Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Meh, no worries! Every mistake I've made has made me into the man I am today, no regrets!!! DONT BE SORRY! Just try and keep an open mind on Josh Allen next week if he plays like a rookie, bout all you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Matt Milano makes plays. I don't want to hear the old school nonsense about "holding up against the run" etc. In this day and age, you need linebackers and edge players flying around the football. Milano is the lone young player who does just that. Seems to me they made a calculated decision to be more aggressive overall and it worked. They need to keep that up. Sitting back in zone and playing safe defensive football does not work anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 i watched him all through college, and didn't think he'd translate well to the pro game. i was very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I too was nervous about Milano during the preseason. I'm not nervous anymore. He's been all over the field in every game, including the Baltimore game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
