  Bills | Several expected to compete for MLB job    Sat Jul 20, 12:13 PM

Buffalo Bills LBs Kiko Alonso, Nigel Bradham, Arthur Moats and Bryan Scott are expected to be candidates for the middle linebacker job during training camp.

We like his awareness when dropping into coverage. Alonso needs to improve his diagnostics skills as too often he'll guess (and guess wrong) on where a run play is headed.
