Kirby Jackson Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 He’s very close with Hyde and Poyer (like in wedding, travel together type of close). I’d absolutely think that the Bills will be in contention with that being out there. 1
TigerJ Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 His NFL.com profile coming out of college lists him as a Will linebacker. I think McDermott's scheme more or less treats the Will and Sam linebackers as almost interchangeable. The would be helpful since Matt Milano has pretty much been a fixture at the Will spot. He's fast and athletic. The knock on him coming out of college is that he was not a great tackler and didn't generate a lot of big, game changing plays. I'd be interested, but it would have to be at the right price.

However knowing his coverage skills are really good your Big Nickel could just be Kirskey instead of that big Safety. also his coverage ability gives Milano a break or no drop off if Injury. I think friends being here could also help recruitment too.
GoBills808 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 This one makes too much sense to me Kirksey has process coming out of his ears 1 1
Sherlock Holmes Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I also wish we'd alternate between 3-4 and 4-3... Rather have Joe Schobert 1
billsbackto81 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Whitehead in Oakland and now Kirksey is available. Out of the 2, I think I'd rather have................

B-Man Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Sounds good ! Maybe we can get a "Friends" discount on his salary too.................? .

It will be tough to replace him with just one player. 1

Only concern is if he wants to get back to being a 3 down backer, that role likely doesn't exist here. Not really familiar with most of the Browns roster, but it sounds like he's got a similar skill-set as Lorenzo Alexander. In Nickel, we often used Alexander as an extra pass rusher. Kind of a hybrid DE-LB. So it's quite possible that Kirksey would still play 50% or more of the snaps, depending on the formation we come out in.
