Did he even play? It looked like Dodsen and even Rapp were getting most of the snaps.

Re: Dorian Williams
Dorian Williams did not have any snaps on defense, 18 on special teams. He tends to be over-aggressive on defense.
Von Miller had 27 snaps on defense (40% of all defensive plays.) He is not credited with any tackles or assists.

But, who are we kidding, they will let both go, re-sign Shaq Lawson and call it a day. Don't get me wrong, I love Shaq.

Re: Dorian Williams
Willams is not ready for prime time. He has plenty of upside and should develop into a decent (if not good) LB. His playing time will probably increase as the season progresses.
Dodson's experience and and better early down defensive ability vs the run makes him the smart decision giving Williams breathing space to develop.
Dodson's weakness is pass defense. So, on clear passing downs, Dodson was replaced by Rapp for a 3 safety look, with the added wrinkle that Poyer shifted into the LB position while Rapp played S.
The Bills unitized that look on a whopping 35% of defensive snaps (25 of 72). Hat tip to Joe Buscgalia (of course) for that observation.

It's too bad Spector can't stay healthy because this is his chance to get the field.

Originally posted by Forward_Lateral View PostI'd like to see more of the "3 safety" look, personally. Poyer is better than any other option at Milano's spot right now. That's unfortunate, but it's the truth. Dodson won't be in the NFL in 2 years. He's absolutely terrible.

The other noticeable defensive use is Taron Johnson coming to the line and blitzing (or at the least, threatening to blitz).
