Kiko Alonso: The Missing Link to the Bills Defense

Could the Buffalo Bills have finally found an every-down man in the middle?If the last month of training camp and preseason—albeit a single game—is any indication, they may just have their guy.
Kiko Alonso was the team’s second of two second-round picks in this past April’s draft, and he was expected to immediately come in to a defense that ranked 22nd in total yards per game last season and help out.
It's a lot of pressure to place on somebody who wasn't a first-round pick, but the Bills obviously feel that Alonso can handle the responsibility.

I havent heard a ton about him honestly, has he really been impressing as much as this article suggests?

Re: Goor Article on Kiko

My only concern is that he looks smaller than I expected for a middle linebacker.

I would say that his play is the opposite of the Holocaust.

Re: Goor Article on Kiko

He has shown the potential to be a very good NFL player for years to come...because he has practiced awesome, and that first preseason game was amazing.

Look...I really want to root for these guys, but things like this are just a product of having to talk about something all of the time. The amount of information is staggering, and there are a million people trying to right about sports and get the next big story...so much so that it makes them laughable. Hopefully the guy works out...it would sure be nice, but if he gets himself injured in week two and is out for the year, then he gets forgotten like the many that have come before him.

Re: Goor Article on Kiko

My casual impression is that he's been in for a lot of snaps so far. Which is a good thing IMO for a rookie more or less penciled in as the starting MLB.

Re: Goor Article on Kiko

I think his biggest weakness is his size. He's often the first to make contact but he needs help to secure the tackle. I hope that improves but his agility and pursuit to the ball are very impressive.

Re: Goor Article on Kiko

just like Gilmore, I expect feast or famine with Kiko in his rookie year.

This is nothing but a desperate fan having a premature wet dream over a player having a few good practices.

Let the guy play in a real game first before talking about building a D around him.

I like his pursuit to the ball, too. Always seems to be in the picture.

Hey it is what it is.... Start a thread talking about how EJ sucks and doesn't have the toolkit to make it in the NFL.

Everyone will say that it's too soon and you have to give him a chance..... And they'd be right.

But, if someone writes an article anointing Kiko as the next Spikes before he even plays a real game, people eat it up.

Can't have it both ways.

Opi, who's seriously saying that the D is going to be "built" around him? So far, I see a kid that zooms to the action. Maybe he doesn't personally make the stop. But if you're there, you may well be the body that opens the door for your teammate that does.
