Chandler#81 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 I’ve become a closet super fan of Matt Milano and little -if any seems to be said about him outside of Buffalo. Case in point, not a sniff of PB consideration last season where he may well have been our best performer. These 2 guys did their homework before the interviews and McBeane were up to their challenge. Great stuff, good finds. Thanks! 1 1
cage Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Excellent interviews! Its great to see reporters ask some good, in-depth questions rather than jumping into the normal line of questioning that just gets standard talking points. I went and bookmarked Rotoworld in my browser!
Don Otreply Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Good listen, as said above, it is nice to see that the interviewer actually did some background work, and knew about the team, it’s nice to not get the canned questions with every interview. Thanks for posting them. Go Bills!!! 1
fansince88 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Great post. Interviews were great to listen to. Definately adds to the quality of this page and discussion of the future of the Bills. Edited February 29, 2020 by fansince88
JinxedBill Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Man, when you have good professionals at the top level of an organization it really makes you feel good about the future.

Following up on Sean’s assessment of Milano -played QB and DB, Vosean Joseph, imo, is in this category. Extremely athletic, very quick and a nose for the ball. Last years set of LBs clearly shows what we should expect for the duration of McDermott in Buffalo regarding LBs. Edmunds & Milano are cut from the same cloth and LoAl provided a multi-dimention, jack of all trades specialist. Replacing him with one guy seems unlikely, so how they go about that role without giving away their defensive intentions will be fascinating to watch. 1

I do worry that the size might make him struggle with staying healthy. But it’s a great pick. as far as him not getting league recognition, I think that’s more of his position. How many fringe pro bowl OLBs do you know in the league? I love the nfl but there are some guys in that category I wouldn’t hear of. 32 minutes ago, NewEra said: Me too. Think he’s gonna get 11 mill a year? Man, that would be a tough decision. I love him but if I’m being honest, I don’t love the idea of paying him that much. That’s a position that can be filled fairly easily if you have a good d line. 2
jamiezzz Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Great interviews, and they did their homework. Most importantly, unlike wgr, they respected them both in not trying to pry information out for the draft. Not sure who these guys are, but props to them.

Great production from where he was drafted, but he is not a top 30 linebacker in this league. Let him play out his contract and move on. There will be bigger names that will need extensions. If there is any doubt just remember this play. 1

The one ding is that he's not the strongest LB at the point of attack, but he makes up for that (and them some) with excellent coverage skills and run game awareness. The defense has not looked the same in the games he's missed. My favorite player on the roster. Edited March 1, 2020 by LSHMEAB

Horrible moment for Milano, but I think we've all seen that play as much as we'd like. Once was enough for me. 1

Once was enough for me. it was dumb luck. Two guys sandwich Watson and so he miraculously stays upright because of the impact from either side. If either Neal or Milano hit him alone, watson would have gone down. 1
