boater Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Per McD .. next man up. We will be fine. No need for dramatic midseason trades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Matt Milano missed four games in three seasons, plus one this season. He plays 110% every snap. I'd be surprised if he even keeps track of the score while he's playing. I'd rather have someone like Milano who puts himself out there than someone like Klein, who I'm quite sure is going to finish the season without a scratch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Cannot give big money to a guy that cannot stay on the field. Best ability in the NFL is availability as McD Says 24 minutes ago, No_Matter_What said: Can someone explain what week-to-week actually means? It sounds to me that it is some minor injury and it might me from couple days (i.e. he might even play vs Titans) to couple of weeks (1-2, or 3 at worst). But reading this thread it seems that you deem it more serious, mentioning even IR. Thanks. Well Considering IR is 3 weeks it should absolutely be talked about if this thing is week to week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Wouldn't surprise me if they put Lacey on the active roster and move Phillips to IR since Lacey has already been called up from the PS twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we were to lose him for an extended period, the bills are unbelievably fortunate when it comes to injuries compared to the rest of the league. So can't really complain. But he's our best linebacker that we don't have an adequate replacement for. There is a very noticeable difference when he isn't on the field. Fire up opposing TEs in fantasy. Zo coming back.

klos63 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Too bad O'Brien just got fired, probably could have traded for his top linebacker and only given up an aging role player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 1 hour ago, BADOLBILZ said: Dodson might be ok. Generally speaking MLB's either have that ability to mirror the RB and anticipate where the ball is going or they do not. People here once compared Edmunds to Brian Urlacher...........and then when he was awful against the run they tried to make excuses about how the 3 year college LB Edmunds needed time to learn the position. But of course Urlacher wasn't even a LB in college and was playing like an all-pro in the middle immediately as a rookie. You got it or you don't. Julian Stanford was just as good as Edmunds when he had to play for him while Tremaine was out with a concussion too. No drop off. He is probably clinging to the fringe of the Panthers roster they might be able to re-acquire him for a 7th or something. Required reading. I can’t agree more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on drafting Milano’s replacement. You might be onto something with going early for the replacement. We are seeing how important the position is to McD’s D.

BillzFreak Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) I know we brought Darron Lee in for a workout before it was announced he was suspended 4 games, it's been 4 weeks do we give him another look now?

You don't really see teams trading starting linebackers in the middle of a season . perhaps some team looking for a tear down? wonder who is out there?

purple haze Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, Chandler#81 said: Sadly, this brings us to what to do about a 2nd contract. I think Bills have to play their cards close to the vest because he’s not medically reliable. But other teams will entice him with big buck$$.. Not necessarily. Every GM and Pro Personnel Director sees the same medical reports/history. Milano is a good player who, unfortunately, misses time every season at some point. I don’t see a team breakIng the bank for him. His price tag is dropping. The question is if the Bills will find it worthwhile to even pay the lessened price tag. At this point, if Daryl Williams continues his good play, Beane might choose to put their money into him and Feliciano instead. And if Dodson, who flashes his athleticism, improves over the course of the season I’d say Milano is definitely gone.

Chandler#81 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Milano’s injury history presents a challenge to the McBeane mantra of Drafting and re-signing their own. When on the field, Matt is a key cog. But he’s off the field too much at this stage of his career, with a 2nd contract looming. I see the team offer being generous but not ridiculous, which will encourage Milano to see what other offers he may receive. Then, I think we balk..

I think they have to name their price with Milano and accept it if he gets a better offer elsewhere. I would say that due to his constant nagging injuries Milano's price point should be pegged at 7-8 million per year with a modest guarantee over the course of 3 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
