Bills “see a difference” when Matt Milano is in the lineup

The Bills lost to the Jets on the road in Week Nine, but they avoided a season sweep on Sunday with a 20-12 win in their building.

One of the biggest differences between the two games was the presence of linebacker Matt Milano in the Buffalo defense. Milano led the team with nine tackles and he also had two passes defensed, a tackle for loss, a forced fumble, and a quarterback hit.

That hit sent Jets quarterback Mike White to the locker room with injured ribs and the Bills forced Joe Flacco to fumble one snap later. That led to a field goal that helped them secure the win and it also led to praise for Milano from defensive end Shaq Lawson.

“Game changer when we have him,” Lawson said, via Katherine Fitzgerald of the Buffalo News. “You can tell when we’ve got Matt Milano. He’s flying around the field making plays, TFLs, hands on the balls, he’s just all around the ball. So, it changes. You see a difference when we don’t have Matt Milano and when we got him.”

They should experiment with him in Von Millers spot. He would be a terror. We can fill his spot with one of the back ups.
He is a wrecking ball

Pretty sure they like him right where he is.

Re: Matt Milano

I've gotta admit we've obviously missed Edmunds when he's been out. Still not sure they'll re-sign him. Between him, Poyer and Oliver I don’t think they can pay all 3.

Re: Matt Milano

Play of the game.

BTW. If Jets are really concerned about their players, they should have done Liver CT scans right away before they sent him out again. I know CT scan is usually not available in stadiums.

Yeah Edmunds' absences have made it pretty clear what they see in him.

Agree that it's still not clear whether we resign him though. Lots of Bills to pay (get it?).

That’s why NFL GM is a really, really tough job.

If (and that’s a BIG “IF”) the choice is two of the three, it’s fairly obvious you have to go with the two youngsters in Oliver and Edmunds. But, it’s McBeane’s decision to make. I do not envy them.

Re: Matt Milano

Also, just rewatched that Milano hit on Mike White. Was about to say that someone on the OL needs to be paying Mike's medical bills. But we really brought an overload blitz there--Edmunds rushed too (the RB mostly whiffed) and Milano just ran a totally unblocked 15 year dash directly into White's belly. There was no Jet anywhere near him.
