Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The two most important players on this defense are Tre White and Matt Milano. IMO, they were the 2 biggest keys to this franchise’s 2017 turnaround. It has become a thought that Milano will leave once his rookie deal is up. I’m here to suggest, we pay him and move him to MLB. Make this guy the Kuechly of the Bills. The difference Milano makes in our defense is immeasurable. Paired with the struggles of our current MLB....I say, pay Milano and make him a career Bill. When it comes time, you let Edmunds go. Build the defense around 27 + 58. Go Bills! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Your two step plan has one good step and one bad step. Milano in the middle of the field would get washed out even worse than Edmunds does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Milano is already small for his current position. As a MLB he'd be WAY undersized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billzgobowlin Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I don't think Edmunds was as good as people hyped him up for this offseason but he also isn't as bad as people are making him seem right now. The defense has some warts right now and I believe the run game is because of line play more than LB play. Milano can make up for some of it by his attacking nature Just now, MJS said: Milano is already small for his current position. As a MLB he'd be WAY undersized.

Plus you think he's injury prone now? What til he's asked to absorb MORE contact attacking the LOS. Personally I don't think he gets retained, at least not to a lucrative contract. He just can't stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 The league has been trending towards LBs that can run for a while now. You don’t need your MLB to be big anymore. It’s not 1975. The nfl is almost 7 on 7 now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam727 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I think Lorenzo Alexander said there isn't much difference in this scheme between MLB and OLB.. just that MLB calls the pre-snap reads etc. I'd pay Milano, let Edmunds walk when his contract is up if his play hasn't substantially improved by then, and look for a replacement MLB.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I think Milano and Edmunds would be a better fit for a 3-4 ILB. If we stay in a 4-3 both should be moved to OLB. Milano is better at hitting the correct gap but neither has the tackling ability to stone wall the person running through the gap. I am hoping that we transition to a 3-4 base defense in the off-season. Belicheat goes both ways, why can’t McD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. K Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Draft MLB rd 1 and move Tremaine outside. Use the rest of the draft to add CB/DL/OL. Nothing sexy but anything would be improving if they cant turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Hooks Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I’m a little hesitant to pay Milano. He’s excellent when he plays but the guy is made out of glass. Worried if we pay him he’ll have no real reason to go in if he’s not feeling 85% and that’s almost never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I totally disagree with investing big money in Milano and I'm especially not depending on him even more by giving him the lead at MLB. He misses too much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginiaMike Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I think that the problem is not so much with the the linebackers as it is with the D-Tackles allowing the O-linemen to get to the second level. We need the D-Line to occupy the O-line and then you'll see the linebackers making plays. just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I did something today I've never done before. When the Bills were on defense, I spent the entire game focused on watching one player--Edmonds. And he continued to disappoint. He was clueless in the first half, making only one positive play vs. 10-15 negative ones. In the second half, it appeared the defensive coaching staff essentially schemed around him (bringing up a safety, more zone bliting and disguises), which was a big reason for the turn around in effectiveness. As has been the case all year, he remained totally useless vs. the run and only mediocre in coverage. And I can't see where it has anything to do with playing hurt--he made the wrong read, down after down--which has nothing to do with his shoulder. I guess we're stuck with it, given our lack of depth. But until he proves otherwise, I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed that the other 10 can get it done...
