John from Riverside Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Dont have a link or anything like that....just speculation - Successfull cold weather 3-4 linebacker - Nix made a comment in his radio interview this morning talking about how "there are players out there that are going to be available but are not yet" Im paraphrasing there It makes sense.....and Nick Barnett was older is a LEGIT 3-4 linebacker....If we can get him we can start Barnett/Davis in the middle and bring Kelvin on slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think Nix is talking out of his butthole. He has no plan other than the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only concern is the injury history. Make the deal Buddy before he has options after being released from GB!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stl Bills Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Don't know much about him but sounds like he had a pretty solid year last year......94 tackles, sacks, 2 FF, 2 ints and a TD. I think this could be a solid pick up. Edited July 27, 2011 by Stl Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stl Bills Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Link........... http://boltbeat.com/2011/07/25/the-chargers-should-____________-post-nfl-lockout/ The key un-restricted free agents on the Bolts are safety Eric Weddle; line backer Kevin Burnett and Stephen Cooper, and wide receiver Malcolm Floyd. All four players played key roles for the team last year. Weddle, Burnett, and Cooper helped anchor a much improved defense that ranked #1 overall. The Chargers next priority should be attempting to retain Kevin Burnett. Burnett racked in 95 total tackles, only 1 off the team lead. He is known for his ability to help clog up the run and read defenses well. However, Burnett can get around the edge and get sacks, he had 6 last year. The linebacker need is glaring for the Chargers; I would expect him to fill that need nicely. As bad as they do need Burnett, makes the need for teammate Stephen Cooper much less. So wait he's good against the run and at rushing the passer from inside? Sounds better by the second. Sign this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stl Bills Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The Bolts signed Spikes too didnt they? Looks like he is on the way out Yup and Weddle, looks like they won't have the money for Burnett. Article states that two different sources claim his asking price is north of 5mil/year...... Chargers back off Burnett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 MAKE THIS HAPPEN, BUDDY!! Signing Burnett would make me feel much better about losing our leading tackler and starting ILB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds better by the second. Sign this guy. Thanks for the link! Definitely worth more than the new Jacksonville MLB ... so if we can get him for less we are ahead of the game. Sounds like the BOLTS will also be in this race but with Buddy and Merriman's SD connections we just might get this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreReed83 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 MAKE THIS HAPPEN, BUDDY!!

DanInUticaTampa Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Fwiw, Someone sent this tweet to merriman, and he retweeted himself on his twitter: @Davejr51179: @shawnemerriman We lost Poz to the Jags. It's time to give a call to your boys in SD (Cooper, Siler and Burnett) and get them to Buffalo. might be a sign that he might try to influence some. and with buddy's influence, it might be possible. Would be even cooler if we signed two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreReed83 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 He wasnt our leading tackler? He wasnt a starter? ooh yea you're right. 100% right. I was mistaken. He was our leading tackler and a starter on one of the worst defenses in the league. Lets give him a medal. Give me someone who has half his tackles and more game changing ability and I'll take that any day. Quality over quantity. But obviously you don't understand that concept bruh.

Lets give him a medal. Poz makes better tackles than you make jokes, that's for sure. Your post STILL makes no sense, no matter how you spin it. And if they do sign burnett, that would be awesome. Instant upgrade over poz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clancynut Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If he does sign with the Bills, who is the other starting LB Davis or Sheppard? I think Davis starts the first four or five games, until Sheppard gets a better handle on the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
