I don’t expect the front to regress from this. (and yes, of course I’s rather have Milano and Miller!). The secondary is somewhat more concerning, IMO. But that is a different thread. Williams should be fine. I would not trade Milano for Von Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I hope he plays well enough that people start to spell his name correctly. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Matter_What Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Just now, without a drought said: I hope he plays well enough that people start to spell his name correctly. I doesn't matter how well he plays. AJ Espinoza is playing out of his mind this year and people still misspell him all the time... 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Dodson will likely get the start but I wouldn't put it past them to get Williams some meaningful snaps in. I think Williams missed some tackles coming in for Milano. I think he showed dam good speed and instincts out there but he might need more seasoning before taking on a bigger role. Whereas Dodson against the Jags mostly made the "ordinary" plays and showed to be decent out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just for different looks. Rapp played ZERO snaps. When Johnson was hurt I expected to see Rapp on the field some. it is interesting that Rapp did not play at all, he played really well against the Dolphins. And we had heard in preseason that the Bills were practicing a 3 safety look. Maybe we’ll see it this week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Remember when everyone thought we were screwed when Edmunds left and how the middle of the field was going to be wide open? Bernard might turn out to be the better player of the 2. Not saying he’s even close to Milano’s level bc that would be blasphemy, but he showed some a lot of promise which was ultimately forgotten about bc of the big fat L we took.

His college program has actually been on a huge upswing. While BC remains pedestrian at best. The point is who cares where he went to college? The bigger point is he did not play well against Jax but he has talent. Can the Bills develop him? I think yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not trade Milano for Von Miller. Absolutely would no NFL GM currently trade Von for MM. MM is at top 2 LB and a top 5 D player in the NFL!!! Von is a very good 10 sack DE.. in a spot where Bills have great depth. 8 hours ago, billsfan89 said: Dodson will likely get the start but I wouldn't put it past them to get Williams some meaningful snaps in.

Bills won’t fall off the map, but MM is next level. Jones at DL is almost as big a loss… unless Ford steps in that’s a similar situation… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like he made some plays made some mistakes, so kind of hit and miss, which wouldn't be terrible for a rookie kind of thrown into his first game. More misses as he did get pulled. Too raw.

In Summary Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Glad the Bills insisted on bringing him in as an OLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a full week of practice I think expect him to look alot better Sunday night. Are you telling me that he was not prepared for the job? That is against McDermott's philosophy. Go Bills !

PFF says he graded out at 86.. 3rd best on Bills D. Thought he played pretty well. But nobody replaces MM. And sometimes the grades by PFF are 🤷🏻♂️ 5 hours ago, Doc said: Dodson was outstanding?
