Forum allgemein » All-22 analysis: Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano I

n case you haven’t heard Womens Kyle Williams Jersey , this Matt Milano guy has been playing the ol’ linebacker position pretty darn well for the Buffalo Bills. After about a year of splitting snaps with Ramon Humber, Milano was on the field for all but one play against the Tennessee Titans. This will hopefully become a pattern. Milano wasn’t perfect against the Titans, but he maintained a high level of play with his increased role. Let’s over-analyze some highlights. Play 1The Bills frequently have Matt Milano around the line of scrimmage to bring some extra heat, or at least the illusion of it. One key to the success of the defense against the Titans and recent weeks is the willingness to sell out for the anticipated play call. Both things harmonize on this play. As Marcus Mariota is all alone in the backfield, Milano creeps up from his spot in the middle to become an edge rusher. The linemen are aligned wide as they sell out to stop the pass. Milano’s quick pressure forces an incompletion and the Bills are off to a great start. Play 2If this play looks familiar, it was used in the Taron Johnson analysis from this week. Here we highlight Milano’s piece of the puzzle. As the slot receiver moves across the formation he leaves a sizable gap off the tackle. Milano slides over and shows blitz, which has already pressured Mariota into one bad pass. Even with the running back staying in to block, this would put the Titans at a disadvantage. Milano actually falls into coverage but the uncertainty on what Milano is doing on any given snap has begun.Play 3Milano made some really nice tackles in this game and it’d be easy to have a strict highlight reel. This play was selected to show a little of the Devil in the details. The, ahem http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/micah-hyde-jersey , blatant hold on Milano pairs nicely with the lineman’s position. Milano is at risk of being tossed to the turf as a result. However, as he’s being shoved he twists his body weight to fall into the running lane and shut the play down. This isn’t a textbook tackle by any means, but the MacGyver strategy works. Play 4Harrison Phillips takes up two blockers in the middle of the line while Kyle Williams occupies the third interior lineman. This leaves a nice gap for Matt Milano to occupy. Milano steps up and puts himself in place to help Phillips out if necessary and jump in front of the runner if he goes left. As a result of the work put in by all three, Milano shuts the run down. Play 5Ben Jones pulls to his left to block for this run. He finds Matt Milano and looks to be winning the match-up. As Dion Lewis runs for the edge, Milano shoves off of the block from Jones and accelerates into Lewis to help make the tackle. Play 6Individual victories pretty much across the board set up a near disaster for the Titans. Kyle Williams and Star Lotulelei beat the three interior offensive linemen. The pair create a large gap that the running back gets funneled into. Lorenzo Alexander come clean into the gap and is ready to make a play. As quickly as he gets there though, Alexander is beaten to the tackle by Jerry Hughes from the edge and Matt Milano. In Milano’s case, he weaves through the traffic and bursts into the back. Williams has also shed his block and the running black is blanketed.Bills-Ravens Rookie Report: Allen and Edmunds provide hope for the future The Buffalo Bills got thrashed by the Baltimore Ravens in their first game of the 2018 season on Sunday. If there’s anything positive to take away from the game however, it was the play of the Bills’ two 2018 first rounders. Read about the performance of the Bills’ entire 2018 rookie class below.QB Josh AllenAllen came into the game while it was already out of hand and while the stat sheet doesn’t really show it, his performance was more positive than negative. On certain snaps Womens John Miller Jersey , such as the would-be touchdown to Kelvin Benjamin in the third quarter, the rookie quarterback demonstrated an ability to stay in the pocket, go through his reads and deliver accurate passes. On others, Allen’s internal clock would go off and he would decide to abandon the pocket too early, just as wide receivers were earning separation. His offensive line and his wide receivers didn’t do him many favors. Regardless, Allen peppered in NFL-level throws during his time on the field and gave Bills fans at least some hope.LB Tremaine EdmundsAfter a shaky first quarter, Edmunds found his groove in the second. To start the game, the Ravens offense featured a lot of misdirection runs, weak-side runs and faked sweeps that made the rookie linebacker hesitate and react late. Edmunds http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/jordan-poyer-jersey , and the defense as a whole, seemed to adjust in the second quarter and started to make some positive plays. On the same series, Edmunds tackled a fleeing Joe Flacco for a sack, broke up a pass intended for the tight end, and then forced a fumble. Like Allen, this was a performance to build off of.DT Harrison PhillipsPhillips was in a rotation with the rest of the defensive tackles and really failed to make much of an impact with his limited time on the field. While the game was still competitive in the first few quarters, Baltimore tended to avoid him on run downs and the former Stanford Cardinal only had a few opportunities to rush the passer, which were largely ineffective. CB Tarron JohnsonJohnson was called for pass interference on a Ravens first-quarter drive that eventually resulted in a touchdown. It did not appear to be warranted. While his effort in the run game was noticeable on a few plays in the first and second quarter, Johnson was forced to exit the game halfway through the second quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return. S Siran NealNeal notched the first stat his NFL career Womens Ryan Groy Jersey , adding one assisted tackle in his debut. He played three defensive snaps.WR Robert FosterThanks to the blowout, Foster saw time on offense, playing 25% of the team’s offensive snaps. He was targeted twice but failed to come down with a reception.P Corey Bojorquez The newly-acquired rookie punted 8 times for an average of average of 49 yards, with a long of 58. Those are impressive numbers. Although he fumbled early in the second half, the conditions on the field were likely to blame. NotesG Wyatt Teller and WR Ray-Ray McCloud were inactive.
