Great instincts and great hands. He’s smarter ‘n Hell, faster ‘n Hell and plays Hellbent. Has from the beginning. Only a series of injuries has kept him off full national recognition. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Since Milanos rookie year, our defense is night and day different when he’s out there vs when he’s not. (If you didn’t know) And someone asked which of our 2 young LBs was highly drafted and which one was taken in the 5th round …it might be hard to tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I mentioned once before, but Polian was on his weekly radio show spot at night, and a question just before the season came up on Buffalo’s defense last year, and how they at times looked fantastic, and others struggled. He pointed right at Milano, and stated given McD’s scheme, Milano is a critical piece to its success with his skill sets. He told the other host, Alex Marvez, watch how the team performed when he was out there vs, when he was injured. He said he was one of the most under the radar exceptional LB’s and deserved the contract he received. Looks like he’s right. In the scheme if things, his contract wasn’t even what Spotrac measured his value. He took $11 mil. Per., and Spotrac had his value at one point $13+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN polled some execs and came up with a top ten list…. Matt Milano, ILB, Buffalo Bills The Bills were smart to lock up Milano to a four-year, $44 million deal back in March. The linebacker market is only growing, and Milano will look like a steal by year's end. Milano has done a little bit of everything for Buffalo, posting one sack, four tackles for loss and one pass deflection through the first two weeks. "He's a three-down player -- can run, cover and is smart," said an NFL scouting director. Former first-round pick Tremaine Edmunds is undoubtedly a top-end NFL linebacker, and defensive tackle Ed Oliver -- a top-10 pick in 2019 -- is coming on in Year 3. But Milano embodies Buffalo's largely overachieving defense. Among its best players are a fifth-round pick (Milano), a seventh-round pick (safety Jordan Poyer) and a fourth-round slot corner out of Weber State (Taron Johnson). 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I was kind of on the fence about resigning him but Milano has been a monster and if he stays healthy and keeps producing at this level he's on his way to an all pro season.

Jerome007 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 IDK about PFF's ratings or how other LBs league wide are performing but Milano is a BEAST. Last week he was the best Bills player for sure. He had to make up for the fact that the Steelers game was the Bills first loss when he plays since 2019 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
