Rocky Landing Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I’d like to see Evans get more returns early in the game. I’d like to see more of Mimms. I’d like to see Ed Oliver perform at a higher level than he did last week. I would love to feel confident that he’s worth his contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 No injuries. A sign of life from our “upgraded” depth wr’s. At least average play from our OL. Discipline and lass mistakes or penalties than last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of calling defensive plays, Williams looked solid when he played versus the Colts. Since we only play 2 LBs...technically there really isn't a MLB. So...I think Williams and Milano reflect the two most athletic LBs. If possible, have Poyer or Hyde call the defensive plays. On 8/14/2023 at 3:53 PM, Herb Nightly said: Not the way it works. I think this season he backs up Milano and has to play special teams. Exactly what Herb Nightly said. They aren't going to have him play exclusively at OLB for all of Training Camp of his Rookie Season and then just before the season starts, switch him to MLB. Not to mention, he's pretty much the only other OLB on the team besides Milano. He'll be needed when Milano needs to sub out and/or if he gets hurt.

This game will ,as is the "tradition", most likely feature starters. Most of the guys you mentioned won't get as many reps as you hope.

With one complete cut down day for rosters I think “traditions” are out the window. Really, you need as much tape on unknowns as possible. At least that would be a logical analysis and one I think they adhere to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a firm believer of putting best 2 players out there. And after seeing Dorian play he is probably our second best linebacker. He was all over the field. I know he is a rookie and you have to learn way more as a MIKE compared to the WILL. Im just surprised we didnt move Milano over to MLB and start Dorian at WLB. Milano is by far most experienced linebacker we have and i would feel most comfortable with him having play calling duties. If it were to happen they would have had to do it way before now but i think thats the route they should have taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a long-standing tradition at TBD of having people observe a player's success at one position, and deciding they would be just as successful at a very different position. Milano is a top linebacker - as an off-ball linebacker. He has zero, zip, nada, no experience at MLB. He would have a learning curve there.

Balls players knows how to succeed with whatever a team asks of them. Milano being in the system for as long as he has been would definitely help. Honestly there is not much difference between Mike and Will in our system with only have 2 linebackers on field.... i think he could definitely make the transition in a single offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is he is NOT the most experienced linebacker at playing MLB. He has no experience playing at MLB. Maybe he would adjust, maybe he wouldn't, but in the meantime you are substituting a learning curve at 1 position for a learning curve at 2 positions.

If he plays at all, and this goes for Allen, Cook, and Diggs and Davis as well, I hope it is only for a series. I certainly do not want to see any formations and plays they might want to run against the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) - It would be pretty awesome to see Khalil Shakir go out and just dominate. Win on routes, catch the ball, no drops, convert a 3rd down or two, maybe catch a TD. I think the coaches were hoping he'd step up and seize the WR3 role, and he certainly has not done so to this point, allowing Harty and Sherfield to catch up to and maybe surpass him. A couple big preseason outings could change the narrative. - I'll echo others in saying that I hope the 2nd and 3rd string OTs have good games. With Shell retiring and Spencer Brown having another up and down Summer, it sure would be nice to feel a bit better about our tackle depth going into the season. - Kaiir Elam: It's your time, buddy. You were a first round pick. You have all the physical talent in the world. You supposedly have an elite work ethic and burning desire to be great. Your moment has arrived. Go beat out the 7th rounder and the 6th rounder and stake your claim to the CB2 role once and for all. - Justin Shorter vs Tyrell Shavers in the annual battle to see who will be the "height/weight/speed specimen WR who is only really useful on special teams and can't play WR very well, but gets the fans hyped anyway because he's 6'4" and fast, so everyone is perpetually convinced a breakout 1,000 yard season is coming", aka the Marcus Easley Award.

Beast Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If my memory serves me correctly, Josh Allen played 1 series last year during the pre-season and it was in the second game. Look for a repeat of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolute madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
