Klein has been playing well and he’s great against the run. Probably very prudent to sit Milano but if he is ready I would dress him in case things go sideways during the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 On 10/9/2021 at 9:31 PM, Hapless Bills Fan said: True, but they can be slowed. The Chargers held them to 24. First game last season we held them to 26. We can't expect to Donut them, but we also can't expect to win if we let them rack up a 40-burger on us. Buffalo 38, KC 20. And here. Above in this thread, I predicted that we would see more Siran Neal/Dime with Milano out. From Skurski in TBN: Quote 2. Siran Neal had a big role. The normal backup nickel cornerback was used on 33 defensive snaps, mostly in an effort to defend Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Neal had played just 20 defensive snaps in the first four games combined. Kelce finished with six catches for 57 yards and one touchdown – a solid showing, to be sure, but not one that was back breaking for the Bills. "Siran is a hungry guy," McDermott said. "Comes every week, kind of a chip-on-his-shoulder type approach with me against the world, which is made him who he is. And I think he did a phenomenal job last night balancing special teams and defense." I just want to come back here and show my receipts 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedbuffaloblue Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Assume we will get some type of update on Milano’s status tomorrow or Thursday. Personally I hope they keep him out this week and don’t play him until after the bye. Make sure that hamstring injury is fully healed so he doesn’t have any setbacks. If they can dispose of the Chiefs like they did without him I have to believe they can do the same to the Titans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Stare Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 He’s one of our best players. If they say he can go, then you play him. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) I see 0 reason to play him if he's not 100%. Let him use the bye to get (hopefully) fully healthy. Titans don't have any good pass catching TEs or RBs to worry about. Henry is the concern and Klien is actually a good run stuffing LB.

cDAVIS Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) If he's healthy, play him. Ensure we get another bye week later in the year. Also, the Titans are a good team. Can't take that lightly. The jets loss is an outlier so don't factor that in. Edited October 13, 2021 by cDAVIS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Milano has been great, but you have to expect him to miss games with his his injury record. AJ Klein has been great in relief and extremely physical and active. Milano should play after the bye. Edmunds has stepped up and we play 2 lbs mostly.

I have to believe that the weather will play a role. Right now the forecast for next Monday in Nashville is good - low chance of rain, light winds, probably about 60 degrees at game time. If the forecast is for a slippery field in any way, expect Milano's hammy to get another week of vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that, if there was ever a game to want Klein in there it would be against a power running team. I’ll trust the staff to do the right thing, but with the bye week following, Milano should have plenty of time to get back to 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I mentioned in another thread that I thought AJ Klein was a good matchup vs Derrick Henry. Milano's certainly the better LB. He does everything, and can be all over the field in coverage, blitzes, run D, etc. But Klein is playing really well. He's fast, and plays mean. He's been great stopping the run-- that really is his wheelhouse. And he has 20 pounds on Milano. And Henry is the biggest threat on the Titans. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Yeah it's smart to start Klein and have him face Henry than Milano with a still gimpy hammy. And the Titans don't have a stud TE like the Chefs do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous that we have to go all the way back to the Miami game to have both those conditions (or better) show up at the same time.

benderbender Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I know this will sound paranoid, but in 2020 Milano injures his hamstring in September, then comes back in October and has a pec injury against a strong RB.

Magox Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 28 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: This idea that is being thrown out by some to arbitrarily have Milano sit to rest his hammy is nuts. The decision should be based on whether or not he is putting himself at a medium/high level or risk of aggravating the injury. In other words, is he healthy or not? If he's healthy, you play him. Tennessee is a team when they are playing well is one of the better teams in the league and this is a big Monday night football game against a conference foe who whooped our butts last year on the road. Milano has been playing at an All pro level this year, the Bills could use him in this matchup. 4 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
