Not really. I'm keeping my eye on a bunch of OLB's this year to see who would fit our scheme because Milano leaving is a very real possibility.
The biggest thing is going to be $$$. Unless Milano takes a hometown discount then he won't be here. We are facing a decreased salary cap due to Covid and have to plan accordingly. $12,000,000-$14,000,000 for Milano is not in the cards I don't believe.
It's only a small sample size this season, 2 games with the Wake game being PP, but he looks stronger without having lost any speed after putting on about 15lbs in the offseason. I want to see how he does against Louisville, BC, Pitt, UNC, and Clemson though. It's a tough schedule this year for the Irish playing that ACC slate and some pretty solid rushing attacks on deck. Milano is only listed at 221lbs and at this point JOK is listed at 216lbs, though they say he is 220lbs. One thing I have noticed about JOK is he plays with solid gap integrity, has instincts that you can't teach, and doesn't get caught up in the wash. In coverage? You said it, the guy is outstanding in coverage.
