ziltoid Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hamstrings are typically in that 2-3 week range, if they are not severe. Edmunds hopefully can tough it out, but LBs need functional shoulders. Wouldn't surprise me if they're both out for a couple of weeks. It's a long season.

I don’t think he’s had many nfl snaps at LB Matekevich is probably on the same athletic plane as Klein so it really doesn't help. I wouldn't be surprised to see Marlowe on the field giving us a 3rd in the box type Safety on the field this week tbh, especially if Edmunds is out as well and Dodson has to man the middle.

Edmunds just get's absolutely owned at the point of attack on runs at him. He would be a devastating all time outside lb'r in this league, but he is overwhelmed at the run stopping point. They need a MLB and all our LB'ing woes go away IMO.. i have been saying this since he hit the field, built for OLB and being used as MLB, it’s mismanagement at its finest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, just to be clear: the HC who has made this Defense one of the best Defensive units in the NFL consistently since he arrived 3 years ago has no clue how to use LBers but your infinite wisdom has, with Nostradmus-esque like knowledge and foresight, seen that Edmunds cannot play MLB?? This, might be the height of hubris. People dumping on Allen I've accepted because it's a slow growth process and we're 20 years overdue for a good QB, Daboll's questionable game plans and play calling I've understood at times, and certainly the first year's terrible STs come to mind with at least some "reasonableness" to their observations but this just boggles the mind. Game day decisions has been a growth curve for McD, but evaluating Defensive talent has not. He and Beane have nearly nailed every single Defensive decision since they arrived. You might be swinging for the fences at Fenway with a wiffle bat while blind and suffering a stroke if this is your attempt at stepping to the plate.

My guess is between Dobson, Milano, and Edmunds 1-2 are going to be ok to go, then none of these are serious injuries anyway. He’s a beast? Lol.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Just let them heal. I have a good feeling our offense turned a corner this year and they'll be able to hold their own when called upon to do so this year more often than not.

GreggTX Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 It's one thing to come out of a game with a few bumps and bruises, but when you're looking at several guys getting banged up in the same position group, that is a real concern. I really hope at least 1 of our starting LB's can make it back next week. I was a little disappointed with Edmunds anyways. He missed another tackle he definitely should have made and Crowder turned it into a 69 yard TD. I just don't see how a guy with those long arms and athletic ability can miss as much as he does.

Thank You. it's 4-3 MLB traditionalists that have a hard time realizing that Edmunds is in the perfect position for how they (our defensive coaches) like to play defense in their (most downs) 4-2-5/5-2-4 scheme. Linebackers always need to be good tacklers, etc. of course but the most important trait they require in their LB's in this defense is range , intellect and coverage ability. Just watch how we play defense. A quick look at the 1st couple drives of yesterday's game will show you that either of Edmunds and Milano can be found 15-20 yards down field gluing to a man or defending a zone. They know its a passing league first and foremost. The run fits are certainly still important and Edmunds still over-runs plays at times but he's solid enough vs. the run and INSANELY AMAZING in man and zone pass coverage and coordinating the defense that it works very well for the Bills. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills shouldn't pay a guy that can't stay on the field. What is the perception that Milano is Mr Injury Prone? He missed 1 game last season and was probably diminished in effectiveness for 2 more (but played). He played 100% of the defensive snaps except in the game where he was injured (74% in that) He missed 3 games in 2018 when he broke his leg - stuff happens!

Milano has missed 4 games in his 3 years in the league: 3 with a broken leg, 1 with a hamstring injury. Whether or not he started, he played in all 16 games as a rookie. What is there in missing 4 games (3 with a broken leg) in 3 years that make a guy "expendable" due to unacceptably frequent injuries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
