Andreeson started the game and from the jump looked like the other white linebacker we have who just tore his bicep. It was honestly insane to watch.. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a guy come from nowhere and play that well against an opponents 1’s and 2’s. Bills will have to figure out if he can be that guy we saw and maybe he’s another Christian Benford, under the radar gem, or if he just caught a heater and played out of his mind. I feel like I'm waiting for the bubble to burst. Can he really be another Milano? I doubt it. Quote

Since 2022 the Bills have been developing LB's. Bernard was a 3rd round pick he's developed into a quality starter, Dodson was undrafted and played well in spurts and got a decent contract in Seattle, Spector looked competent as a back up as a 7th round pick, and Dorian Williams is a recent 3rd round pick whose flashed potential and we will see what the Bills have in him. I don't see why Buffalo Joe can't be a role player in the NFL? Can he be a Milano like All-Pro? I doubt that's going to happen but can he be a special teams ace and a quality backup? I think that's very realistic. I also think if he can stick for a couple of years as a special teamer he's got a chance to develop into a starter possibly. He is probably going to need a couple of years to develop and he's not going to stick around if he's not providing value on the roster on special teams. Quote

What makes Andreesen someone worth taking a chance on is his athleticism. 9.35 RAS. That's elite level. Quote

He's a good athlete, he works hard, and he's produced at the college level (led UB in tackles in 2023 and was a Division I-AA All-American in 2022). He also got in a fortunate (for him) situation where Milano getting hurt and Dion Jones not performing well opened up opportunities at the LB position both in the pre-season and to make the 53. If Andreesen can provide value on special teams he's got a chance in 2026 to possibly work/develop himself into a starting role. Milano's just turned 30 and coming off back to back injuries he's not likely to be on the roster past 2025. Bernard is also going to be a free agent after 2025 and while I think they will make every effort to retain him there's definitely a need for the Bills to develop LB's. Quote

yall Posted August 30 Posted August 30 I popped into the Bills Store today, trying to find a 44 T-shirt. Sadly they aren't quite ready to capitalize on the hype yet. Betting some local will be selling one soon as I was hoping to wear one for the opener. Quote
