Buddo Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Congratulations to AJ. Well deserved for not just last week, but the previous couple of weeks as well. Â While I didn't jump on the bandwagon of criticism, I would have to admit having been decidedly unimpressed with his play previously. Â Credit, and some annoyance, should go to the coaching staff for actually now putting him in a position where his strengths are being used. The annoyance is for it taking as long as it did. Â I think there's a genuine case to be made for having all 3 LBers on the field a lot more, when Milano returns, particularly against run heavy teams, where Milano could be dropped into coverage when the play calls for it.

Â Absolutely. And I'm eager to see how it shakes out when Milano is back (in terms of how and when they use Klein). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Congrats to him. He is playing much better than he was early in the season. Credit the coaching staff for changing the way they were using him. They are playing more to his strengths and are trying to hide his weaknesses.  Make no mistake about it, though......if Milano is healthy and ready to go, he plays and it isn't even close. A good team with good coaching could easily find a way to exploit Klein as he is still below average in terms of athleticism. Not knocking him or his improvement, though. It will be good to have him and use him and his positives in certain situations, though.

Only winners get awards. Maybe there's a second place ribbon lying around somewhere. It took awhile but Frazier finally figured out that AJ is best suited as a "seek and destroy" player and not it coverage situations. He's been awesome in Blitz packages and keeping plays in front of him. That one sack last game when he side stepped the blocker on his way to the QB was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 He's a ferocious blitzer. I'm convinced his turnaround and the D as a whole came when Edmunds got fully healthy. I want to say it was the Sea game where I noticed Edmunds looked way different 10 minutes ago, CSBill said:  First thing Rex got right about Defense and Bills in 6 years.

machine gun kelly Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Happy they found a way to get him used to his strengths.  Now that Milano is practicing, they may be able to use Milano in a pitch count to ease him back this Monday so we can try more base defense against Pittsburgh.  A good problem to have, but I wouldn’t expect sweeping changes as the abills strategy has been all along to have a nickel defense.

Doc Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I think making him into LoRax 2.0 would be the smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor26 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Glad that Frazier and McDermott decided to change the scheme to play to his strengths. Dude looks like a beast coming in on the blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
