FireChans Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Let me start by saying that Edmunds is fine. He's a good player. But Milano is an animal. Sometimes he overpursues and gets washed out of run plays. He isn't perfect. However, Matty has FOURTEEN TFL's this season. One Four. 14! That's huge. He is a beast. To put it in perspective: 14 TFL's is good for 7th in the NFL among all positions. But more importantly, he is #1 in TFL's for defenders that line up without their hand in the dirt. Here are the players above him: Nick Bosa, Parsons, TJ Watt, Quinn, Donald, Garrett. So besides Quinn, those are all perennial DPOY candidates. Put it another way, in 52 starts Milano has 44 TFL's. Edmunds in 59 starts has 29. Even more stark, Edmunds has a total of 10 TFL's in the last two seasons combined. Milano is the straw that stirs the drink in this front 7. I think you could argue he is the consistent best in the unit. Edited January 3, 2022 by FireChans 5 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Milano will always be our best linebacker. Tremaine will be our best middle cornerback. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) He has been for a about 3 years now. I doubt you will find many that would argue with you on that Edited January 3, 2022 by Sheneneh Jenkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 He’s been our best LB since early in his rookie season. This has to be the 50th thread about it by now.. 🤦♂️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mynamemike Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I’ve said it before but we need the technology to put Milanos instincts into Edmunds body. It would be the perfect linebacker fir our system. Somebody get Elon Musk on the phone 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would sift out the crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YattaOkasan Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Wish he would get off blocks better. If a lineman gets his hands on him, he struggles. Agree on everything about instincts though. Would also note we’re back to elite TE defense after a a one year regression towards middle of the pack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Milano and Edmunds are both very good. That's really the bottom line. They have different roles. Both fill their roles really well. But there are some weirdos who have consistently filled these boards with their consistent needs to scapegoat a few specific Bills again and again. One of those is Edmunds. There's not much to admire about this group, but if you admire persistence in wildly ridiculous causes, you'll find a lot to admire with them. One example is finding many many creative ways to introduce new threads with the underlying theme being "I hate Tremaine and can't stop myself from saying it again and again."

Steve O Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) So Milano is our best Linebacker. Tried to resist the temptation to say in other breaking news the sky is blue, water is wet, and Princess Di is still dead, but I just couldn't.

Saint Doug Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I’m been thinking about it and think Allen is our best QB as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreboding Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Cool stat, thank you. I think we'd all agree he's our best LB, and has been for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I agree Matt is our best but i would like to see the Bills use Edmunds in another LB position maybe opposite of Millano i think his skill set could be better utilized & then find a really good MLB . As big as Edmunds is you would think he would be a beast but he just hasn't lived up to his draft status & every time i notice him he's just a little to late or getting pushed out of the place where he could make a tackle and they get extra yards but Millano even being smaller is usually in a better position to make the tackle. It could be because he has better instinct's it should be interesting to see what Beane does when it comes time to resign Edmunds but seeing as he's paid Matt we know exactly what he thinks about him !!

HOUSE Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Edmunds is to slow, no instincts and should be moved to the offensive line This is sarcasm. I now have to tell people this Oh, and my wallet was never locked in the car.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
