Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
Very disappointing we lost him for this year.
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
i wonder if bradham would have emerged like he has if kiko hadnt got hurt. youd like to think so since he put in all the work already, but he might not have been noticed nearly as much
the good news is kiko-bradham-brown as a lb corp is bonerific

I think Brown would've been relegated to backup if Kiko wasn't hurt.
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
probably but hes played more snaps than literally anybody on the defense so hes gonna be miles ahead of where he woulda been. i doubt they will be able to keep him off the field
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
Bradham, Brown, Kiko
Next years starting lb's.
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
Kiko will be even better at wlb.
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
We don't have a first next year, but we get Kiko back.
I'm happy with that.

No now, obviously. Which is the silver lining of Kiko getting hurt. They got Brown, and he's played, and shown he's probably the steal of the draft for the Bills.
Remember when the Bills' linebackers used to be so crappy? I don't miss those days.

Whatever happened to Spikes?
It wasn't long ago that it was force fed to us by many here about how great he was going to be.
Another scratch of our biggest free agency move?
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
He has been a force ... as a two-down LB, just like everyone said.

Poz , Ellison , Mitchell *yuck*
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
Anyone remember Chad Pennington's rushing TD against us where he did this slow lame juke move that made Eddie Robinson fall flat on his face? Those were the good old days.

no not at all. if they bills think they can manage keeping him along with everybody else then thats great, he can be a key part of the rotation and especially for run heavy games/downs
but the reason brown has played so much is bc he can cover. kiko can cover, and honestly i dont know know if bradham can cover but i havent been hearing his name getting burned so i expect hes better than spikes in that dept
interestingly, ive seen spikes make quite a few decent plays in coverage this season. but you can also see why hes a liability there, he seems like hes always a step slow and if he does make the play its out of pure anticipation (or luck at being at the right place). which is kinda opposite how he plays the run, like hes a step ahead of everybody else

Like his tip on Leodis' first INT against the Vikings. Every time I watch that play, I fail to identify the moment in which he looks back for the ball. I'm not even sure there was such a moment.
I think Brandon Spikes might be a wizard.
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
Bradham is our fastest linebacker.... haven't noticed his cover skills but he can run with just about anybody.
Re: Kiko Alonso progressing
I tore my ACL when I was 32 and it took a full 12 months after surgery before I could really think about playing anything competitively after surgery. I'm sure Kiko will have the best therapy and training that money can buy...he'll be OK for the start of Training Camp 2015. The biggest obstacle for me was the mental part of cutting and running full tilt on my new knee.

At a McDonald's in Oregon, Keith Ellison just shed a tear while flipping a burger.

2nd, 3rd, 4th round picks. Whaley.
