Buffalo Beeeews Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I've been watching this team lose for 14 years now. But seriously, this kid is a bonafide STAR among boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivermont Mike Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I've been watching this team lose for 14 years now. But seriously, this kid is a bonafide STAR among boys! He's playing off-the-hook great, and I have a feeling he's pulling up the LB corps with him. Fun to watch. The dive over the line was classic. If he'd have hit the runner square, he would have crushed the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I will admit I was one of the fans saying "who is that guy" when he was drafted cuz there were other more nameworthy linebackers around.B But he has stud written all over him. He's another Urlacher, and is gonna make this draft class look stellar for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Was thinking last night while watching the draft bat some point last week someone asked the question, if we didnt draft EJ at 16, who would you rather have? Well, with what I saw last night, I would have kept my 8th pick and drafted Mingo. Having Kiko and Mingo in our line backing core would be axing for this defense.

Bills of Boston Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 If we had kept the 8th pick, we wouldn't have Kiko (most likely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never NEVER Give-up Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That was a dirty hit on Hoyer. I wonder if the hit on EJ was payback??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 All the more reason we should trade him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That was a dirty hit on Hoyer. I wonder if the hit on EJ was payback??? not really. It was a player rushing head first and just as EJ doesn't know how to go out of bounds, Hoyer doesn't know how to slide. In the end, Kiko hit him over the top but didnt mean anything from the hit. Hoyer hurt his knee, not his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 not really. It was a player rushing head first and just as EJ doesn't know how to go out of bounds, Hoyer doesn't know how to slide. In the end, Kiko hit him over the top but didnt mean anything from the hit. Hoyer hurt his knee, not his head. The hit was clean. A QB should know everyone wants to hit him. All he has to do is slide and Kiko jumps over him. Instead, Kiko made the smart play, hit him, personally I was hoping for a fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 oh. Haha. My bad The point remains, though. We could use a physical freak like Mingo roaming the field. Options in this year's draft? Between Alonso and Lawson, our LB's are still only half way to being elite. Don't get me wrong, they're very good right now. But Moats and Bradham aren't exactly world beaters out there.

bobobonators Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That was a dirty hit on Hoyer. I wonder if the hit on EJ was payback??? I disagree. Hoyer half-assed his slide and it appeared as if he didn't know what he wanted to do - slide head first, slide feet first or keep running. Kiko was already on his way to hit him. Both plays were clean, and unfortunately both QB's got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I can't wait to see a healthy D with Mario, Dareus, K. Williams, Kiko, Byrd and Gilmore all lined up. It'll make my eyes water with joy to have a player on all three levels that have to be accounted for on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both plays were clean, and unfortunately both QB's got injured. If he slides like a baseball player, Kiko goes right over the top of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
