Couldn't tell you but in-game I could see why they would do that. Will be interesting to see how they play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 As a side note, I've been reluctant to subscribe to the Athletic, but a dollar a month for six months and cancel anytime? Tough times for online content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough times for online content. I last got a newspaper in my driveway............. Hard to say. I’ve never heard anyone say the Athletic isn’t worth the minimal cost. So far, I’ve just been too lazy to check it out. SO MUCH out there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's starting to get comfortable again. I felt he was playing like our best DT prior to inury last year. Yes he was. Now he's getting his game shape on, and playing confidently. He trusts his knee now and he's kicking ass out there. Remember how unsung the 1 tech job can be, he might not get his number called as much but thats just fine.

Sherlock Holmes Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 4 hours ago, Doc said: Yeah but injuries can and do change things. And it wouldn't be permanent. Yes it would, Kuechly is sliding in come playoffs, Leighton Vander Esch would round us out once recovered if Milano is injured come that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) I agree the changes helped, but that doesn't explain everything. They were embarrassed by the Rams and played like they had something to prove. I've always preferred Milano to Edmunds, but I'd rather see Klein on the field than Dodson. Klein is a shade below average, but still much better than Dodson and has more experience. Edited October 8, 2020 by GreggTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an expert, but those who would be considered "experts" such as the people who break down film constantly not to mention the Bills coaching staff strongly disagree with this opinion. Are you right? I don't know....but I will side the aforementioned "experts" who seem to think Dodson is doing a remarkable job. To the original post: this makes a lot of sense as to why it was improved. Moreover, while it was pointed out about Horrible Harry's conditioning and return from injury in particular, I think the whole Defense is just starting to get into game shape. Whenever the next game is played I think we continue to see incremental improvement. Vegas game showed signs of positive improvement, if it's the Titans I think we see some more, and if it's KC, I think there are flashes but it will be difficult to gauge against the top Offense in the league. Bills are close to KC at this point, but not quite there yet (IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 A rotation is good to help guys stay fresh. But I think you can also get to cute with it. If you have guys that are clearly better, I want them on the field more. I think we are our own worst enemy sometimes by forcing guys in the game. Last year it was way, way to much Gore. Oliver and Philips are young. Rest here and there is fine but I don’t need them out 50% of the game. Put the best guys on the field at least 80-85% of the time please.

Dodson > Klein Pretty sure McDermott and Frazier have it written in stone that Edmunds is Their Guy at MLB as they should. As we have seen when front four do their job Edmunds is perfect good vs run and a perfect physical specimen at middle linebacker in this defense .
