I keep reading how he is our best defensive player along with other Milano and White. Is this analysis based on the first games of this season or was this everyone’s understanding coming into the season. I would have thought in a preseason ranking Rousseau , Poyer, Miller, Hyde and Oliver were all viewed as more important pieces. Expand The defense effectively runs through Jones. He’s everything we wanted from Star Lotulelei and more. Last year he was incredible and you saw the impact when he was out one game, the Bengals playoff game. He effectively takes on double teams, can rush the passer, is fantastic in run support, and frees up our smaller linebackers. One could argue Groot and Ed are similarly important to the defense, but Poyer, Miller, Hyde, etc., are not as impactful, in my opinion. 2 Quote

Expand It's amazing to me these ridiculous internet doctors watching video are cited as actual diagnosis. I guess the advent of all the legal gambling has spawned them as a way to get an edge with info - but at its core it is just speculation and nothing more. Edited October 11, 2023 by stevewin Quote

T master Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 I saw him at one point of the game last night on the side lines talking to another Bills player . Wouldn't it be great if by chance he could come back & play even close to what he was before his injury . No one has given any updates as far as either him or Millano's recovery which is kind of weird in some respects usually they say something about how they are doing in a bit more in depth type manner but not really much on that front or i just missed it completely which is a good possibility .
