![]() There was an obvious payoff in this instance. My favorite word to describe what the Bills look for in their defensive players is “versatility.” Buffalo has no qualms moving Milano around all over for support. ![]() Milano had dropped into coverage but saw the ball and made a beeline for it. Here’s another example of reaction time with Tim Settle deflecting the ball into the air. Milano already had the angle over Hunt and that’s how two Buffalo Bills ended up getting a sack on Tua Tagovailoa. Hunt reacted to try and stop Milano, which freed up Jones. Right guard Robert Hunt (68) started off doing fine against DaQuan Jones. The blitzing Milano created the right chaos on this down. Working with your teammates to execute together is another trait that can lead to highlight-level execution. Milano’s half-sack (with DaQuan Jones) vs. Reaction time is a great trait to have and Milano’s is highlighted quite well here. The intended target tipped it rather than making the catch, and Matt Milano was quick to adjust. I’m a little higher on Mac Jones than many fans but, to be clear, I still feel this overthrow is a pretty decent representation of the New England Patriots quarterback. A big factor in the “luck” of the first two clips is that the Buffalo Bills frequently swarm to the ball as a team. Notably, if Milano didn’t have it, Jordan Poyer would have. Damar Hamlin was set to make the stop, popped the ball loose and Milano was there again. There was a little luck involved here as well, but some of it was created luck. A botched snap and a loose ball rolled toward Matt Milano and he was paying attention enough to fall on it. Sometimes a highlight isn’t much more than being in the right place at the right time. But no worry, let’s find some reasons to be excited. ![]() ![]() That’s right, get ready to be amped up for Matt Milano All-22 (mostly) highlights! Milano will have extra pressure on him this season without his partner in dime (and nickel) Tremaine Edmunds. Our Buffalo Bills hype machine sights turn to the remaining half of the dynamic duo manning the middle of the team’s defense. ![]()
