Never listen to former team fans opinions on players when that player was cut

That's the truth. If you look at opinions of former players on TBD you'd think that no one of any ability has ever left the Bills. They all stink, whether they were a scrub or a pro-bowler.

Between his wife and the Bravo show very difficult to find images/articles on him.

 

Whatever happened to the advanced google search which allowed you to exclude words/phrases?

Found it, need to have specific URL now, not available from regular menu.

The Falcons selected Biermann in the fifth round of the 2008 draft, and he went on to play 114 regular-season games for them. He missed just 14 games in eight years, all of which came in 2013, when he suffered a torn Achilles.

 

Coming off a season-ending injury, he was forced into playing 939 snaps in 2014. The coaching staff (and front office) deserves blame for pushing a role player towards such a prominent position. Signing run stuffers instead of edge rushers left Biermann in a hopeless situation. His first step was sluggish, which is never a good sign for an undersized defensive end. Opposing tackles handled Biermann, if he couldn't beat them off the edge. It was an unfortunate situation for the once fan-favorite. He went from being a dependable role player into an overexposed starter that couldn't provide much spark as a pass rusher.

 

Biermann's days as a starter are almost certainly over—only twice in eight years did he start more than three games. While PFF gave him an 88.0 grade in run defense—seventh-highest among edge defenders—his inability to rush the passer is glaring. At 6'3", 255 pounds, he's also too small to move inside, where his skill set would be more effective.
To an extent, Biermann will always be a liability against the pass. In a more limited capacity, however, he can still help an NFL defense, as evidenced by his strong work against the run.
He's also a versatile defender, having played multiple positions in Atlanta. He has been a defensive end for most of his career, but the Falcons used Biermann as an outside linebacker occasionally in their 3-4 scheme. Head coach Dan Quinn said last offseason that he viewed Biermann as a linebacker/end hybrid when the team re-signed him, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

This guy played terrible. My wife is going to be upset because she watches those Housewives shows but I doubt he makes the team even with our starter out half the season. Should make for an interesting storyline on the show when his wife can't afford plastic surgeries anymore

I was going to start a thread on this but since this is here, here goes.

 

BIERMANN IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! The guy is incredible slow, weak and small. He literally must have done nothing the whole time since he had been cut by Atlanta. He was a whole step slow off the snap and was getting pushed around like a JV player out there. The guy seriously needs to hit the powerlifts, cleans, box jumps and kettlebell swings but it is probably to late now although he should still do this if he hopes to make any impact by midseason.

 

The Bills should seriously cut him and pooped the bed by not signing Kruger.

Ahem...

 

Dont expect anything great out of Biermann. Atlanta's D has been their problem, and he's been a part of that. He was all but run out of town.

 

That said, we need the body to get us through the next 4-6 weeks, and he's probably the best value vet available.

 

We cant cut this guy fast enough, imo. He's horrible.

My buddy in Atlanta, a Falcons season ticket holder, had this to say when I explained we signed Bierman because we're very thin at OLB because of injuries:

 

"That's great because Kroy is very thin at football because of brains."

Heh.

Never listen to former team fans opinions on players when that player was cut

Never?
