Stokes84 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Does not get the respect he deserves. Yeah, he dropped the pick 6 on Sunday, but he has been an absolute monster this year and should be getting All Pro hype. He’s been by far the best player on this defense so far this year. Annoys me that he doesn’t get the respect that other superstar players around the league get. 22 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 For sure. The guy has been an animal so far this year. He's playing more downhill this year and faster it seems. Greg Rousseau has been a terror too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramza86 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I think one positive about the game for the defense was making the open field and 1 on 1 tackles. It was really nice to see tackles not being broken for the most part. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 With Milano I feel his one on one tackling has gotten even better. The instincts have always been there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I think it’s fair to say the entire front 7 is playing pretty great. And they are all playing very aggressively. One of the baffling reasons to call the dogs off on 3rd and long plays. Let them attack. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 My Buddy who is not a Bills fan, but knows football, watched the game Sunday. His takeaway was Milano is the best LB he's seen this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Milano is great. He goes 100mph and hits so hard I feel like he will get hurt with every contact... or maybe even hurt a teammate by accident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 He has been lights out with 1-on-1 open field tackles so far this year. He is absolutely playing at a pro bowl level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 He is an absolute stud. My only ever concern for him is making it through a season without getting injured. He plays so hard but at his size, it’s going to be tough to not wear down. Also wish you could use him like a rb who gets a few series off but I know you can’t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Arguably the best player on the entire defense so far this year. I like Von's impact in that he's a good player plus he is elevating the play of Groot and AJ and Boogie. But as a player I think Milano has been the best. Jordan Phillips was up there too before he got hurt. Excited to see this defense at full strength (minus Hyde) at some point this season 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively I’d put Von Miller 1, Milano right behind him at 2 and then Poyer, Oliver and Rousseau would round out the top 5 in some order.

BearNorth Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Milano is rated the #1 LB by PFF, BOOGIE is rated the #1 Edge, Von is #2, Groot is #8. Diggs is the #2 WR behind Kupp. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the many frustrations that happened Sunday, that drop being one, Matt Milano is a standout on this defense and is some of the glue keeping them together during all these injuries.

TBBills Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Matt Milano is one of those players who doesn't get talked about a lot, because he happens to be one of the most consistent linebackers in the NFL. You know what you are going to get every time he goes out on the field. He is definitely respected by people who know football b.c when his name is mentioned people always start praising the stuff he puts out there on the field.

FilthyBeast Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Milano has always been a gritty player for this team but with all the injuries piling up I worry about him staying in the lineup since that's been his only real issue in his career here so far.

Full speed, with no guidance system. Blows up everything in it's path whether he intended to or not. Ask Dane Jackson. Milano is one of my favorites.
