GreggTX Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 It's one thing to come out of a game with a few bumps and bruises, but when you're looking at several guys getting banged up in the same position group, that is a real concern. I really hope at least 1 of our starting LB's can make it back next week. I was a little disappointed with Edmunds anyways. He missed another tackle he definitely should have made and Crowder turned it into a 69 yard TD. I just don't see how a guy with those long arms and athletic ability can miss as much as he does.
bobobonators Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 At least Miami’s offense isnt the Ravens - we can afford to sit both LB’s next week id think.

Expand Thank You. it's 4-3 MLB traditionalists that have a hard time realizing that Edmunds is in the perfect position for how they (our defensive coaches) like to play defense in their (most downs) 4-2-5/5-2-4 scheme. Linebackers always need to be good tacklers, etc. of course but the most important trait they require in their LB's in this defense is range , intellect and coverage ability. Just watch how we play defense. A quick look at the 1st couple drives of yesterday's game will show you that either of Edmunds and Milano can be found 15-20 yards down field gluing to a man or defending a zone. They know its a passing league first and foremost. The run fits are certainly still important and Edmunds still over-runs plays at times but he's solid enough vs. the run and INSANELY AMAZING in man and zone pass coverage and coordinating the defense that it works very well for the Bills. 3

The Bills shouldn't pay a guy that can't stay on the field. Expand What is the perception that Milano is Mr Injury Prone? He missed 1 game last season and was probably diminished in effectiveness for 2 more (but played). He played 100% of the defensive snaps except in the game where he was injured (74% in that) He missed 3 games in 2018 when he broke his leg - stuff happens! He played >70% of offensive snaps in 4 games and >90% (usually >95%) in 9 games He missed 0 games in 2017 What is there in that injury history that makes him "expendable"? 3 1

Their offense pretty much had their way with our defense for more than half the game.

Like i said, i like the guy, but if he misses significant time, the Bills defense shows it's cracks. Expand Let me rephrase my question. Milano has missed 4 games in his 3 years in the league: 3 with a broken leg, 1 with a hamstring injury. Whether or not he started, he played in all 16 games as a rookie. What is there in missing 4 games (3 with a broken leg) in 3 years that make a guy "expendable" due to unacceptably frequent injuries?
