Sorry, that was the new guy.

I think everything that Dodson was, dude will do. Bills do actually use 3 LBers, unlike what many here claim, I just can’t find the numbers on it just how much.

1 in 2023 (834 snaps) 1 in 2022 (1084 snaps) 0 in 2021 (723 snaps) 3 in 2020 (728 snaps)

Hasn’t played more than 30% of special teams snaps since 2019.

Rapp is aggressive, but his football IQ has always been in high regard, dating back to even his pre-draft scouting. He knows angles and where to be, he just kills anyone who is there.

Hey, if the worst we do is an athletic, vet LB to backup, we had ourselves a good offseason lol

Tyrel Dodson was horrific in coverage as well.

I don’t think he had the coverage IQ that McBeane likes

The DL has got some love with DQ and AJ returning, there is still so much talent out there.

Besides, we all know what happens once this man enters the Domain of Bobby Babs.

Enough said lol

Whats the point of yours? Just repeating “he sucks” with no context or data that supports your claims. Most backup LBs can’t cover Kelce. Hell, we have one of the best coverage LBers in the league in Matt Milano and HE can’t even cover Kelce. I’m looking at this from the ‘replace Tyrel Dodson’ perspective, where this is a good pickup for that role. A dude who can play MLB in a pinch and come in when we need that 3rd LB.

Because he sucked vs us? I get this isn’t prime Bobby Wagner, but come on. Y’all are mad because we signed a cheap, athletic, proven solid LB lol This MB is wild.

I don’t know the exact numbers, but I also suspect they’ll be higher in 2024 than they were in 2023. It isn’t a question that we use a 3rd LB though, not all the time. If I recall, we used one more the second half of the season.

Agreed.

Morrow ran a 4.54 or something like that…

They do occasionally, and more teams are using heavy formations.

Crazy thing is I think Dodson is still a FA

SAM.

He takes Tyrel Dodson’s role. Primary backup to Bernard and comes in the game when we need a SAM. He will see plenty of snaps.

His stat line is pretty dang good and is a plus athlete 95 tackles 12 TFL 3 Sacks 5 PBUs 5% missed tackle 65% completion percentage (Not bad for a LB) Good 3rd LB/Sam

That means no more T-Dot

After the NFL screwed us with the 3rd, I really don’t care about comp picks.

I think it’s too much wear and tear on him. His 2022 final 8 games were slightly more productive than his 2023, but that is a great observation. He can still be a 85-90 catch guy, a true #1, but also not have 160 targets anymore. Get this man on a pitch count.

Social classes are real
