Milano led the team in tackles

[The Now Moment]

I understand that there was a foot of snow and the offenses were slowed down but Milano led the team in tackles today with 10 solo tackles and 1 assisted tackle.  The next closest on the team was Preston Brown with 6 and 1.  Another solid performance from him and more encouragement that he can solidify a starting position moving forward even into next season.  He continues to show solid instincts.  Hope he can continue that type of play down the stretch as we have some important games coming up.

I'm a fan. He made a couple mistakes but experience is the best teacher on those. He has the right mentality and talent.

[BigDingus]

He's a good player, albeit a bit undersized. I just wish we had some LBs that could put pressure on the QB too and make plays in the backfield more often (see Reggie Ragland in the KC game).

[Kelly the Dog]

I haven't been on the Milano bandwagon like a lot of fans have been but today I thought he had a very good game. Made a bunch of good smart solid plays.

he was s nice pick

[Maine-iac]

In a league that loves to throw he's got good range and he seems to bring the hit stick with him.  Like the saying goes, he always seems to be around the ball.

It's about time that we drafted a good player!  He's good!

[K D]

Much better than any other LB's they have. It's a no brainer to have him out there

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

He has been the best LB on our team for a month. He needs to be playing every snap

He did play almost every snap today...

[Fadingpain]

I think he's pretty much impressed everyone this year.

Absolutely no reason Humber should take another snap for this team

There were 5 rookies starting today. Dawkins, White, Jones, Milano and Peterman. That's some crazy **** right there.

not only starting, but playing well (for the most part). this gives me hope as to next year's draft and acquiring more "McDermott guys".

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Another solid mcd add. 

 

Trust it

Two things:

 

1.  Milano (and Tre White's) performance is even more impressive because he is past the number of games typically played at BC.  It may be because he was used sparingly early in the season (smart by staff), but no sign of hitting a "rookie wall" - kid is mentally tough; and

 

2.  One of the earlier posts says "I just wish we had some LBs that could rush the passer" -- anyone who happened to watch Milano at BC knows he is an extremely talented pass rusher.  It is one of the very best parts of his game.  He had 6.5 sacks each of his last two years at BC.  He is REALLY fast around the edge and instinctive rushing through tackle-guard gap.  Bills have not used him much as a blitzer yet, probably because they are so desparate for his speed in coverage.  I really like Lorax and Humber, both gamers, but they are not good in the passing game.  Do not get enough depth in their drops while Milano does.  Would like to see him blitz more next year, a secret weapon and I believe he would impress.

He will need to bulk up a little in the off season and study but I feel he is starter while Mc D is here.
