All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

One item of note - according to him, the terminology was very similar to Bama, to the point they were amazed he picked it up so quickly on his visit. To me, that signals Coach Wannstedt wasn't lying when he said he'd kept the terminology and just simplify everything. Dareus said the same last year.
You won't see him making big interceptions or running picks back for touchdowns. But he's a very solid cover-corner that doesn't let up many completions and is an excellent tackler after the catch.
With all of the "check down" and "pick down the field" passers in the NFL today, I think he's the kind of cornerback we need.

I can't listen to the interview at work, but I've always liked Kirkpatrick as a player. I've read that he's a really hard worker too, is well liked by his teammates and coaches, and seems to have a high football IQ. I also like that he's played on a couple championship teams in college and apparently in high school also. The guy has only lost a handful of games in the last 6 years or so. I like players that have a championship mentality and expectations. I think it's the kind of thing a team like Buffalo could use more of. I really believe it makes a difference compared to guys that have never won anything at any level.
Can you describe his game, skills, pros, cons, etc?
In other words, please give me your comments about him.
Gracias,
+Tall, well built CB
+Physical at LOS, not afraid to press
+Active in Run Support and attacks screen passes
+Solid Tackler
+Great athleticism, when combined with his size he'll be able to go up against even the tallest WR's
-Hips may be a bit stiff which limits his man coverage ability
-Doesn't attack the ball as aggressively as CB's like Claiborne or Gilmore
-Technically can get caught taking false steps and looking into the backfield too long
I think he has #1 CB potential and rank him above Gilmore.
COMING SOON...

If he can cover welker or gronk, id be ok with the pick.

So the Bills should be prepared to draft Tee Shepard to replace Kirkpatrick in four years when his contract's up and we let him walk as an UFA?
