How time has changed? Kiko Alonso would be perfect in McDermott's defense. He's a RFA though.
Time to bring Kiko back?

Re: Time to bring Kiko back?
I don't think he's a perfect fit for the D. Size wise he lines up but McDermott's D asks for the front four to penetrate quickly which means the LB's need to be able to work through blocks and fill the holes. Kiko is a down hill LB who struggles to work through blocks.COMING SOON...

If he still has the speed he had after those injuries, I think he can be very good at WLB, going to where the ball is. If the Bills re-sign Zach Brown, he will be that guy. But I still like Kiko's instincts being better than any Bills linebackers we have in the last 6 years.

Right now, Ragland will be pegged to be the MLB, but off the field on passing downs, sort of like a younger Brandon Spikes. Of course we have not seen anything from the guy in NFL. Maybe he surprises all of us with his speed and coverage ability.

He simply doesn't fit.
But, signing a Kiko Alonso then makes your intentions fully known that Reggie Ragland was a wasted pick and that he's not in your future plans.

Re: Time to bring Kiko back?
Speed is what's missing in Bills LB corp. In a 4-3 scheme, it will be more so.
I personally like LBs with instincts, not just pure speed. My favorite, Ray Lewis has it. Kuechly has it. And I think Kiko has it, too. All of them listed around 240lb, ideal size. But I suspect Kiko's playing weight might be in the 225lb range; he is not that hard to be knocked off balance.
They say Ragland has the nose for the ball, just not the ability to get to where the ball is thrown to.

Kiko had a good first half to 2014, then vanished the 2nd half. Then to Philly and Miami since, McCoy is a far better player and we won that trade by a mile. Salary means nothing.
If you have his jersey, congrats but he's too small. Move on.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
