billsfan89 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 It's always tough to bounce back from a concussion early in the season. At least later in the year you don't have to go through the rigors of the season. At least he can get his head right for a few weeks in camp.
reddogblitz Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Kiko is soft and injury riddled. Gosh I hate that guy since we traded him to Philly.
ko12010 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I can only imagine how many concussions LBers get in their career. They have to be the most at risk of brain issues after they retire. They have contact on almost every play and it's after both they and the ball carrier have built up some speed. Lineman obviously get hit every play but it may not be as jarring as what LBers face.
DC Tom Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Kiko doesn't get concussions. Concussions get Kiko'd.
White Linen Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I really am going to miss this guy - fun player to root for - and the whole legend thing, awesome. Â He kind of reminds me of Dan Morgan LB from the Carolina Panthers in terms of his playing style. Played bigger than they are and get right in there and mix it up - but injuries/concussions come along with it. I'm not hoping that for Kiko but I could see injuries plaguing him.

BUFFALOKIE Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Kiko doesn't get concussions. Concussions get Kiko'd. Niiice!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Did someone drop a solar system on him? Doubt that would do it. I am thinking he figured out the meaning of life, and his brain kind of imploded a bit.
BUFFALOKIE Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Did someone drop a solar system on him?Maybe, but that wouldn't explain a concussion. Planets are ball shaped...... NOM NOM NOM NOM.  **** happens when an irreversible force meets an immoveable object. I'm thinking it was a black hole.  It's a brown hole now.

dezertbill Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Wish the best for the guy. Hope he isn't one of those "if he only stayed healthy" talents.

Junior Seau is a prime example eh?
Haslett_Stomp Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I was a big fan of Kiko when he was here and wish him the best but his durability is a concern as he looks undersized in the picture that accompanies the article. Do the Eagles have the DL to keep the big boys off of him?
YattaOkasan Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I was a big fan of Kiko when he was here and wish him the best but his durability is a concern as he looks undersized in the picture that accompanies the article. Do the Eagles have the DL to keep the big boys off of him? Eagles have a good DL. I think it was ranked ahead of ours in one of the terrible off season rankings posted on the forum.
