Per Nyup, Dorian Williams is starting at MLB

[Cali512]

I dont have the article but i was listening to Ryan Talbot on youtube and he specifically mentioned that Dorian Williams has been starting in the middle of our defense. He also said he looks bigger in person and is flying to the ball, good sign


Im also interested in Baylon Spector, he apparently was pretty impressive last year and is honestly our most traditional MLB in terms of side and strength


Good news

[Forward_Lateral]

Interesting, usually McDermott likes to ease rookies in. Maybe he's changed his ways

[sukie]

Edmunds wasn’t eased in

[Chet]

I like this news. Hopefully this means he has stood out more than others have sucked.

Also liked the energy he (McD) had on the McAfee show about being DC again. Looking forward to some defensive fire now that the bot is gone

[TigerJ]

Interesting. Williams lacks Edmunds' size, but he's obviously fast and reportedly very football smart. There have been other small MLBs who have been successful so hopefully Williams can continue in that mold.

I never felt that Edmunds' size worked to his advantage, i.e. like he hit like a Mack truck. Maybe he affected the passing game with his height, I don't know.

I think Edmunds was the scarecrow on the F. Him lining up in the middle with his height and speed scared QBs from taking the read over the middle. His passes defended for his 5 years was what, 35 total? I think he took away space . Good QBs had less of an issue.

Bills LB Dorian Williams Set for 'Immediate Impact' as a Rookie, Says Insider (https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-dorian-williams-rookie-season-draft-pick-tremaine-edmunds-brandon-beane)


"He's a tackle machine, he's very athletic," Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said of third-round linebacker Dorian Williams after selecting him in the 2023 NFL Draft.

"Watch for third-round linebacker Dorian Williams to make an immediate impact," Fowler writes. "Buffalo needs a starter to replace Tremaine Edmunds. Williams is an explosive player (4.49 speed at 228 pounds) who was considered a late bloomer at Tulane: He weighed around 190 pounds when he enrolled in 2019."

Williams has his elite closing speed to thank, something he showed flashes of when he tied for the fourth-fastest 40 time among linebackers at the combine with a 4.49. This kind of 4-4 speed while rushing toward the quarterback or forcing running backs to cut it back inside could be a major reason why Beane said he'll be starting out at outside linebacker.

Bills Head Coach’s Sudden ‘Flip’ on Rookie LB Raises Eyebrows (https://heavy.com/sports/buffalo-bills/dorian-williams-linebacker-sean-mcdermott-brandon-beane/)



However, when McDermott addressed the media during organized team activities (OTAs) this week, he said that Williams was “playing the middle linebacker position” which throws him in what looks to be a five-man competition for the position with Terrell Bernard, Tyrel Dodson, Baylon Spector, and A.J. Klein.

SB Nation‘s Bruce Nolan tweeted, “I wish I knew what happened with Dorian Williams in the Bills’ eyes. Did Beane misspeak? Did they change their mind? Was there a disagreement on his future role? What changed their view of him between draft night and now?”

One person suggested on Twitter that Beane wanted to temper expectations for the rookie, “which would be understandable,” Nolan tweeted, “but it feels like there are much better ways to do that than saying Williams is an OLB and then having McD say on day one of OTAs that he’s beginning at MLB. It’s simply an odd thing.”

The switch-up gave The Athletic‘s Joe Buscaglia pause. “Beane said that they would likely begin with Williams taking reps at outside linebacker. But only a few weeks later, that initial diagnosis has flipped, as McDermott revealed they began OTAs with Williams working at middle linebacker. It’s a significant development due to the departure of Tremaine Edmunds and with a starting job open next to outside linebacker Milano.”

USA Today‘s Nick Wojton was also surprised by the Bills’ change of heart. “Whether it was prompted by Williams’ play on the practice field or just a simple change of plans, the coach’s word differ from the GMs a few short weeks ago,” Wojton wrote. “Regardless, both will be on the same page with the concept of the player who wins that job is the one that earned it.”

Williams is 6' 1". Please recall that London Fletcher was an incredible MLB who was only 5' 10" (https://www.bing.com/search?q=london+fletcher&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&ghc=1&lq=0&pq=london+fletcher&sc=10-15&sk=&cvid=1BFFB42E0DA941E9ACB6DDC91091AD8E&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl=).

Plans can change, even over the course of a few weeks. MLB is the signal-caller of the defense and a lot to put on a rookie. I'm guessing Williams impressed the Bills with his knowledge of the playbook after just a few weeks so they decided to make the change.

Fletcher was also 245 and ran a 4.38 forty. He has 25 lbs on Williams, and a good portion of the fan base didn't want him sticking around because too many of his tackles were 4-5-6 yards downfield.

Apples and oranges. You are comparing Fletcher's weight at the height of his career vs a kid who hasn't played yet. The Bills will have him put on some weight. But I don't think they want their MLB at 245 in this day and age of the pass, pass, pass. If they can get him to 235-238, they'd be happy. They'll do that.

[Cali512]

Ive said this a few times but most great LBs hover around the 6-1/6-2 230-240 range. Look at Werner who is 230 and 6-3

But about the post that mentioned Edmunds height being an issue, i agree with this 100%. As a LB, leverage is key. Its really hard to gain lower ground when your 6-5 because you have to get extremely low to take on most RBs who are nearly a foot shorter than him (most are around 5-9 to 6'0)

Say your 6-5, you get a clean shot at a 5'10 RB whos built like a truck. That RB always has the lower leverage on you and if your just disengaging from a lineman, your midsection is completely exposed. Which is probably why most of Edmunds missed tackles were him tackling high. This is why the ideal size is in the lower 6 ft range, it allows LBs to have the ability to get lower vs RBs to make the tackle.


Most LBs Edmunds size end up as DEs or edge rushers due to this and its the same reason you dont see a lot of 6-3+ RBs

[jamze132]

It’s OTAs. If he starting at MLB in training camp, I’ll take notice.

[Woodman]

Oh will you now. :bandwagon

[Albany,n.y.]

Interesting, usually McDermott likes to ease rookies in. Maybe he's changed his ways

I think that's a myth, which is perpetuated due to lower round picks being kept & developed (after the 3rd round, most picks are developmental players and the Bills have kept a lot of later rounders, especially when the team was being built) veteran depth at key positions which keeps rookies on the bench, and some mediocre draft picks like Epenesa & Basham. When there is a need for a new starter & a rookie shows something, McDermott puts him in.

[DraftBoy]

Not a huge surprise considering we did nothing else at LB and none of the other options are worth considering as starters.

Lots of pressure for a rookie, but we’ll see.

[Night Train]

It’s OTAs. If he starting at MLB in training camp, I’ll take notice.

Plus the media is getting just a few minutes to view the workouts. They are rotating others in to test, according to Chris Brown on the local Bills show. These are padless walk thru's for the purpose of playbook instruction. I'm rooting for all of them. The next test will be mini-camp in a couple weeks.

He's the same size and guys like Leonard, Warner, Roquan Smith, Kendricks, Wagner (height-wise) and White. And he's faster than all of them.

Every single one of those guys on the list is taller, heavier, or in half of the cases both. An inch or two and five-ten pounds is not insignificant.

C'mon. You know better. Many of these LBers come in on the light side. It's what the trainers are for. He may grow another inch and put on 10 to 15 lbs without too much trouble. Not worried about his measurables.

In this case it's less about Williams standing-out/sucking than hearing that he will be playing MLB and not OLB like where Beane was all but assuring us he'd start off. And that's a good thing because MLB is a huge void and he's the most talented of the prospects.

We'll see. Williams is yet to take a snap. Not ready to make the mold for Canton yet.

[cookie G]

idk...I think I remember Beane saying they'd try him on the outside first, because they didn't want to throw too much at him. McD has other ideas. As he said, "we'll see how it goes".

As others have said, its OTA's. You aren't going to know until opening day.

As far as a player and a daft choice, I like him. And probably like him more since the draft. 2 people whose opinions I trust really like him. Merk, the Range draft guru, is in love with him. Greg Cosell, one of the few commentators who actually watches game tape, really likes him. In particular, he commented that Williams plays bigger than his size. He quickly noted that he thinks Bernard looks like he plays smaller than his size.

When watching non-highlight games of him, I'm not seeing him get blown out very often. More often, much more often...he gets his long arms extended and disengages from a block pretty quick. Again, we'll see.

But when he plays, he's going to make rookie mistakes. But he's also going to make some plays, both in run support and against he pass. He'll turn some heads. I don't think he's going to be the massive hole in the D some think he's going to be.

And most important of all, he's going to be surrounded by talent on D.

Again, you have a D stacked with 1st and second rounders to build this perfect D. I'll take a quality player like Williams late in the third, over using a 1st AND a 3rd on an under performing Edmunds any day.

I like what they did in the 1st 3 rounds, although Torrence falling in the 2nd was more luck than anything.

But I'd much prefer taking a weapon on offense and much needed protection for Allen than wasting more 1st and 2nd round picks in this futile attempt to create a dominant defense.

The MLB calls the defensive plays. That's probably what Beane was referring to when talking about "throw too much at him." I opined above that he must have shown a good grasp of the playbook, allowing them to move him to MLB.

[notacon]

As usual, Joe B. provides (https://theathletic.com/4546802/2023/05/23/buffalo-bills-otas-von-miller/) a very unbiased, insightful and intelligent early analysis of the Bills’ OTA and how Dorian Williams might fit in...



Dorian Williams (https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/dorian-williams-dDpa7XyFhrrHukS6/) gets early work at MLB

When the Bills initially drafted linebacker Williams in the third round this year, general manager Brandon Beane said that they would likely begin with Williams taking reps at outside linebacker. But only a few weeks later, that initial diagnosis has flipped, as McDermott revealed they began OTAs with Williams working at middle linebacker. It’s a significant development due to the departure of Tremaine Edmunds (https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/tremaine-edmunds-JKo3MELPaAeeJbLo/) and with a starting job open next to outside linebacker Milano. With Williams placed in that distinction, at least early during OTAs, that puts him right in the middle of a five-man battle for that starting gig.

Williams is the closest skill set and body type to Edmunds of all the combatants, potentially giving the team the arm length and fluid movement skills that Edmunds provided last year. But practicing at the position and thinking he’ll walk into the starting role as a rookie are two very different things. It would be unfair to expect a late third-round pick to immediately work in ahead of other players who have been in the defensive scheme for longer. But it’s a smart move to see what he can do at middle linebacker in the early stages because it provides another possibility, rather than being pigeon-holed to one of the other options because they elected against finding out how Williams could do with those responsibilities. It’s wise to keep expectations in check for the rookie, but this is an encouraging early sign of their plan for him.



First OTA’s does not a season make. Still a LONG way to go. McDermott will most likely rotate LB’s into that spot, like he did last year at CB. Dodson, AJ Klein and Bernard will get their chances to compete.

Dodson and Klein will get plenty of playing time because of their years long experience with the defense.

I suspect the “starter” competition will be very much like the “starting” #2 CB slot was last season. No clear “starter” in that one player was sure to start every game and be on the field for more than 60% of the defensive snaps (barring injury).

Last season, both Milano and Edmunds were on the field either 100% of the defensive snaps or close to that (except when injured).

We will see the same next year for Milano. Probably not so for whoever plays opposite him.

Is it a positional thing or is Milano not capable to “QB” the defense?

I think well see a rotation the first 4-5 games, then halfway well see a more permanent starter


Probably see Williams in nickel a lot sprinkled into base formations with Klein being the primary MLB, then whatever happens happens

I honestly like what we saw from Dodson a few years ago, but he needs to be consistent

Spector is extremely interesting to me also. He is the truest MLB on our team

[DraftBoy]

Is it a positional thing or is Milano not capable to “QB” the defense?

I think Milano is at his best when he came play in space and focus on getting to the ball. The MLB position, even in our 2 LB system, has more responsibility in reading what's happening and reacting to it. Edmunds was pretty good at this, his issues were more getting through the traffic to make the play in the backfield or at the line. Milano also struggles in traffic and has shown past issues in disengaging from blocks.

Milano as an absolute piss missile just attacking the ball down hill is his best fit. He's gotten better in zone coverage, but still has some issues there. I think of Milano as a classic 43 WLB who is consistent and can make big plays happen when he's schemed correctly. If there is a guy I think could make the largest jump under McDermott taking over DC responsibilities it would be Milano.

Right now we are hoping that Williams can take over the MLB spot because we really don't have another option to go to. Dodson maybe could do it, but that's a risk and the other guys should only really be seen as depth/ST LB's.

I also wonder if they're going to try and go with a bigger Nickle look this year. The signings of Howard and Rapp make me think we could see Johnson get a little less time in the base package if they think they can read run and attack off that edge. Howard is a converted SS and Rapp has played a lot in the box and even inline in both college and the pros.

[Forward_Lateral]

Are they going to be playing the same base Nickel formation as last season, or will they play more of a traditional 4-3.

That will determine who plays LB, IMO. I'll wait to see how that shakes out before getting my hopes very high on anyone not named Milano

[ghz in pittsburgh]

The one who calls defense is the one who has radio communications with the DC. DC gets the call in and relayed to everyone on D by that guy. Also that guy is responsible to make adjustments.

So the guy usually plays every snap. Thus with rotation on D-line, it cannot be a D-linemen. Also secondary is too wide or far back to make adjustment call. Naturally it is a linebacker who does not get sub-packaged out.

LB position wise, MLB is better than OLB to communicate adjustment to everyone. Bernard and Dotson are likely one to start the season. I have to see how Williams play a game before even considering him at this point. Hyde said in his interview that pretty much if the MLB call is wrong, then we all go wrong because all 11 guys have to believe in and do their own duty to make it works. No half hearted trying to execute your own reads outside of your responsibility.

Maybe...maybe not. It’s the biggest open question of the season.

Just like CB was the biggest open question last season. The Bills never really came out of the rotation....who “started” the game is irrelevant. It’s all about the snap count.

Milano and Edmunds regularly played almost 100% of the defensive snaps when they were healthy. Milano had ten games with 100% snap count. Three others were over 90%. He rested some of the Pitt game with 66% snap count. He missed two games because of injury.

Edmunds was similar, nine games with 100% snap count, two others with 90%+ one 80%. He left the Minny game early after a groin injury. He was out three other games (17th game was cancelled of course)


Elam last season had only two games with 100% snap count....week #3 vs Miami, when injuries decimated the Bills defense, Dane Jackson was inactive and Benford and third stringer Ja’Marcus Ingram were splitting the other CB spot & vs Pittsburgh when Benford was inactive.

Elam was benched in the week 14 Jets game and played less than 50% of the snaps the remaining three regular season games.

He increased his snap count in the Miami playoff game to 61% and played well. His snap count increased slightly for the Cincy game to 65%.

It will be interesting to see how the percentage of snaps counts progress for each LB (except Milano....he will be on the field all the time). Hopefully, one of the four or five competing will rise above the others.


I doubt the LB opposite Milano will get 100% snaps in any game, much less most of them. We’ll see.

[notacon]

Are they going to be playing the same base Nickel formation as last season, or will they play more of a traditional 4-3.

+1

As I have detailed before (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/262847-McDermott-to-Call-Defense-in-2023?p=5015142&viewfull=1#post5015142), the Bills led the league in nickel snap count last season with 92%. They had the second highest percentage of nickel and dime formation with 95% (Dallas was #1 with 98%).

With the extension of Poyer and Hyde coming back (hopefully as strong as ever) from injury and especially the signing of S Taylor Rapp (plus Tre’ White hopefully in 100% form from day one, and Elam (hopefully) improving in year two) I suspect that the Bills will hardly ever play a “traditional 4-3” in 2023.

If anything, the percentage of dime may increase.

As I said before.... the idea of taking Taron Johnson, who was their most steady and dependable CB last season (and what they would most likely do if fielding a 4-3 defense), OFF THE FIELD and replace him with a LB that we do not have (fielding two LB’s is hard enough, since Milano is the only reliable one we have....putting three on the field is downright scary) is pretty doubtful.

[Woodman]

Seize the day ..... plenty of opportunities finally .... I see nothing but good things going forward!

LB's play better with a strong front 4 :check:
