Tyrel Dodson getting more snaps than AJ Klein

Klein was always best suited for MLB. Bad part is in this defense the MLB is in coverage. A lot. 


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.

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.

 

Yell this from the rooftops!

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

 

Dodson is effectively 4 games into his rookie season (cant clunt last year). He is doing GREAT for an undrafted guy a few games into his career. His trajectory is actually amazing, all things considered. I see why the Bills kept him around after that questionable incident last year.

LBs that can stuff a run then cover a 6'6" TE are hard to come by. Easily worth a 1st round pick.

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.

Well duhhh... Dodson is a better fit at WLB. Klein is a SLB. He only comes into game if the offense puts a FB onto the field. Or if there are multiple injuries.
