    Kiko Alonso progressing

    http://www.buffalobills.com/news/art...b-3e133075026f

    Two Mondays ago at One Bills Drive, Kiko Alonso was alone in the weight room. The rest of the roster was in player meetings preparing for the New York Jets. Alonso was doing wall sits. Now three months removed from ACL surgery the Bills linebacker is making steady progress and pleased with where he’s at in the process. “I’ve started running already,” Alonso told Buffalobills.com. “I’m just doing straight line running, so I’m doing everything but cutting right now. Obviously I’m progressing to full speed running. I’m doing everything, but I’m limited.”
    Alonso underwent surgery in late July to repair the ACL in his left knee after tearing it in a personal training workout in Oregon July 1st. He says the knee feels great, but he knows he cannot rush a process that typically takes seven to nine months for a full recovery.
    “My knee feels great,” he said. “It definitely doesn’t feel like there’s anything wrong with it. It’s just a matter of time. You’ve got to let that ligament heal and strengthen the muscles around it. It feels probably where it should be right now.”

    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.

    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?

    You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

    Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

    The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

    "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

    "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

    "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

    Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

    "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

    He has been a force ... as a two-down LB, just like everyone said.

    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.

    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.
