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.
Footballguys view: Alonso likely will enter camp as the favorite to win the job because he worked with the starting defense during offseason workouts. 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. |
