CorkScrewHill Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 When Milano went out, Tyrel came in and not AJ. AJ has been pretty invisible though he was the person burned on the Jason Witten TD. AJ is still listed as the starter but had only 8 snaps while Dodson had 19. I suspect AJ will be one and done in Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Klein is visibly slower than any other person on the field outside of the DL and even some of those guys look faster. He's a liability at this point. Playing Dodson is the right move. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassgixxer05 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I remember sceaming at the tv twice on big plays and it was Klien in coverage. The less he is on the field the better. Id rather see another db out there in his spot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I agree. That Witten TD was far too easy to execute. AJ is or should be one and done with the Bills. Klein is 29 and i cant imagine he has much room to improve while Dodson is only 22 and has a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Klein came in for a bit, but was so bad he got benched for Dodson, who did much better. Klein is def not the answer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvbillsfan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Dodson not Klein is the guy that will replace Milano next year. Can’t pay everyone unless your the Chiefs or Saints I guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 They need to draft a MLB and move Edmunds to the outside. Edmunds gets pushed around inside and can't disengage blockers. Plays upright and looses leverage. His body type is wrong for the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I just don’t think he is a good fit on the outside anymore. He is to slow in coverage and I think you are seeing him replaced outside with Dodson. Maybe he is more suited to the MLB position at this point. We will see once DelShawn gets back - if he and Dodson are ok on the outside - I could see Klein deactivated and let go in the off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with some more time he can improve that and at least be serviceable when he is called on to play. In the meantime Dodson has a good chance to keep improving!

I think the Bills were hoping to use him as part of the Zo replacement- strong side - limited snaps - more run stopping than coverage. A lot like they tried to utilize Zo the last couple of years. Zo was a liability in coverage - so the Bills tried to protect and use him situationally. The difference is Zo was still a play maker and Klein just seems slow and he has been getting pulled into coverage. LV did a nice job formation wise - playing big (2TEs) most of the game. That gets Klein on the field and then they attacked him. My take away is the Bills learned something and made an adjustment and now we will see how they move forward - especially in regards to Milano’s injury. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I would actually like to see a combination of Dodson and Milano for a bit. I don’t know if Edmunds isn’t healthy or what, but he looks terrible right now. Give me 58/53 out there for a bit and let’s see how the Unit plays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 It is not going to happen and I am not even advocating this...but honestly on two days notice a retired Lorax could come in here an replace Klein, straight up. ...I really don't even care if they play the same LB position or not.

John from Riverside Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I def think this is where we should be looking with that 1st pick in next year's draft......we are going to be drafting late so its in the right area as well Klien is just not the4 answer....Dodson provides plays here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is doing GREAT for an undrafted guy a few games into his career. His trajectory is actually amazing, all things considered.

Or if there are multiple injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
