Buffalo Bills linebacker Dorian Williams feels he's 'ready' to fill the hole left in the wake of Matt Milano's bicep injury.
The Buffalo Bills' defense was dealt a substantial blow Thursday morning as the team received word that former All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano is set to be sidelined “” with a torn bicep.
McDermott confirmed on Thursday that he’ll be the one receiving first-team reps now that the defense is sans Milano’ Alex Brasky that he feels well prepared for the moment. “I feel ready,” Williams said. “That’s what we’re brought here to do, is to be the next man up, do our 1/11th. That’s something Coach Bobby does a good job of, teaching us our 1/11th.”Williams has a bit of scheme experience, as he’s in his second year with the team; Buffalo defensive coordinator Bobby Babich, who was promoted to that post in January, was previously the team’s linebackers coach and, thus, worked closely with Williams and understands his strengths and deficiencies.
“I’ve learned a lot,” Williams said. “Just from the scheme, from all the different coaching, things I’ve learned from Matt, things I’ve learned from , , all those guys. The vets in the room there, they continue to help me and I appreciate it.” Williams isn’t necessarily the dynamic talent that Milano is, but he’s a capable player who, when deployed alongside Terrel Bernard, should be able to effectively man the interior of the Bills’ defense. The Buffalo faithful will get their next opportunity to watch Williams in the team’s preseason clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers this Saturday.
