Punching Bag Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Klein is a sound tackler and good run defender. There were a lot of missed tackles against Mijami. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, Limeaid…yeah, he really. A world beater and all star? Of course not. However, I like having him around as insurance for the post season.

Blank Stare Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 About the best you’re going to get at this point. At least Klein knows the system and has fresh legs. Good run defender. Play Spector and have Klein up as insurance and ST. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I swear they just keep AJ locked in a broom closet. Let him out when we need an extra linebacker here and there. Maybe he does some team laundry in the meantime to earn a meal. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good run stuffer, allowed 80% completions in pass coverage 😬 I like him in his role: coming in on 3-LBer sets on obvious run situations. It’s not like he can’t play the pass, it’s just not what he’s consistently good at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 6 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: I don’t think he has is my point. Yeah I know the 90 grade from PFF gets referenced a lot. But when people say he’s played well, I can’t remember a ton of specific plays he’s made this year. Bills have been “good” against the run, but not among the Top 5. And I don’t remember much against the pass. He did “sack” Achane on Sunday night. It must be a matter of he doesn’t miss the tackles that are there, and he gets in the way enough on passing plays. 3 minutes ago, BuffaloBillyG said: I swear they just keep AJ locked in a broom closet.

As long as he has continued to work out and stay in shape for 2-down run stuffing work. That’s what we need, because he’s been coming off the field on 3rd downs to drop Poyer in the linebacker spot.

I see him whiff in the open field far too often. I don’t know where his grade comes from. At least once a game he dives and completely whiffs on a tackle. Good against the run? Again, I don’t see it.

Am I correct in assuming it was the play where Dodson came in as an out-of-control human missile and was lucky he missed the pile or else would have been flagged for helmet to helmet or even worse, paralyzed himself, but instead went spinning off the pile? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was Rapp coming into that pile at first too! Rapp still injured the guy which sprung Harty's punt return. Looked like he injured Hill on the 2nd last play. And then injured HIMSELF on the game-sealing INT. Classic Rapp! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 These signings are almost always an indication of the health of one or more of the players at the same position on the active roster. Klein signed to practice squad because Dodsen will likely miss this game, so Klein takes his roster spot and provides veteran guidance and to Spector/Williams and a "break glass in case of emergency" presence if those two struggle. Ankou is the one who loses his practice squad spot because Jones is now back fully healthy at DT, lessening the need for another depth body there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 When Dodson went down, I expected this move to happen. It makes all the sense in the world. Klein knows the system and has played OK in spots. And he was available. I'd rather have Klein than a guy with more athletic ability who doesn't know the system. He was not signed to be a developmental project. He's insurance and might just suit up this week, given the fact the the opponent is likely to run the ball this week and the Bills are down 2 LBs (if you include Milano along with Dodson).

Punching Bag Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 4 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: I thought spector did well this last week I thought so too but depth replacement is needed and while Klein does not know the complete defense he knows most of it and has a lot of experience playing for Coach McD. Tyler Matakevich might even get snaps and in one game he played a lot he looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
