Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Pro Football Focus @PFF28m Highest ranked linebacker in coverage? Daryl Smith (+8.5) followed by Kiko Alonso (+7.6) & Stephen Tulloch/DeAndre Levy (+7.3) Kiko allowed Smith to be the highest ranked LB out of pity for Smith, and to give himself some kind of nominal goal to play for.
boyst Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 I really wanted Smith on this team. Daryl Smith at SLB. Lawson at WLB and Alonso at MLB. Smith could have been had for very cheap.
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Kiko only allows a reception when he wants to tackle.
Dibs Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I really wanted Smith on this team. Daryl Smith at SLB. Lawson at WLB and Alonso at MLB. Smith could have been had for very cheap. I think there might be a bit of "in hindsight" with that concept. It seems that the general view around the league was that he was well past his prime and would only offer him 1 year deals for minimal dollars.....which he chose to take that deal with the super bowl champs. 1 year $1.125M deal, so yes he certainly could have been had for cheap......but there must have been good reasons why he ended up with that deal with the Ravens.

He had a better chance to go there and perform setting him up for success in year 2. Potentially with the Ravens who could retain him to work on filling other Defensive gaps. Its not Hindsight, I spoke out many times saying he was the only FA I wanted Lawson was on my list but I didn't know much about his game after having trouble last year innCinci.

I guess my point is that even though you may have seen that he was a legitimate option, the situation unfolded as if your view was not mirrored by any NFL team. This might mean that your assessment had extraordinary insight(and I do highly respect your assessments when given on the board).....or it could mean that you were lucky. As no NFL team thought that he was worth a 2+ year deal at the time I don't feel that the Bills can be looked at in any negative way in regards to not signing him up for relatively cheap money.

With Bryan Scott let go already and a thin LB unit his veteran leadership would have helped and been valuable when we were looking at Lawson-Alonso-Sheppard-Bradham. Replace Bradham or Shep with Smith and you've got a good backup and package LB. Since Shep left, well, it changes a lot but I'd like him on this team

bigK14094 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Well, Kiko is a real player for sure.....butttt.......he missed a couple of big ones up in Toronto that resulted in Falcons TD's.....he was chasing at the end because he overran the play to start. Still a rookie and learning ...Bills lucky to have him, but, still a rookie.
Iraq Vet Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Kiko vs. Wolverine. Kiko in the second round with a knock out. Kiko vs. Superman... Kiko in a knockout then he dated Lois Lane and Supergirl at the same time.
