Fixxxer Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Congratulations Kiko. Hopefully this is the beginning of more to come, not only on a personal level but a team level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblehead Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Love the way Kiko plays, but he has a lot to improve on if the Bills are going to shore up the run D. And that is exactly where I would want a rookie like that to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concrete Buffalo Feet Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Well deserved!!! Hopefully next year it's DPY or MVP of the Super Bowl... Well one can dream right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 About 15 LBS more would really help It will be interesting to see how he emerges from his first pro off-season of workouts. I am sure that is in the plan. He was a rail by the end of the season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I truley believed this would happen after Week 1! Congratulations, Mr. Alonzo! 1st since Shane Conlan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Love the way Kiko plays, but he has a lot to improve on if the Bills are going to shore up the run D. Always with the overcast conditions. Could rain or snow anytime. No one in the world expected this kid to come on as strong and carry that mojo till the end of the season . Just one of the most impressive personal efforts i have been a witness to during my NFL experience . This kid is/ should be a Buffalo hero. Detractors be damned. Nose meet face Dorkington. I hoped for better from you in this elusive moment of joy for Bills fans. Dont listen to him Kiko ! Keep doing your thang kid !!!! please retort. My arsenal is loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Malooga Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I hope Chuck Driesbach is smiling somewhere at the moment over this news. It's a feather in his cap. GO BILLS!!! I want to acknowledge this, and agree...I came to this post looking to comment the same thing. Especially after reading the article about how he is "shocked," and got "positive comments" (texts) from Kiko Alonso and others. ("I miss being part of that organization." - Chuck Driesbach) Anyways...hopefully now the NFL can get this "Rookie of the Year" thing right. #Kiko4DROY Edited January 15, 2014 by DJshnooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 About 15 LBS more would really help He needs help ? He needs to add weight ? Okay. maybe you could mention that to him : ) I suspect the Bills will gather up a thumper for 1st and second down since neither Moats nor Bradham can fill that role. wish we scored Dansby last year. And that is exactly where I would want a rookie like that to be. Check that brother !! I would like to see him kill fewer people out there next year. I know it will be hard for him to improve on this, but nobody deserves to die. I disagree. on principle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Congrats Kiko...love watching you play, appreciate your intensity on (and off) the field...no glitz, glamour or showboating.

Dont think it has not crossed my mind after his fairly successful season this season .If it isnt him , I hope Pettine looks at it as might be someone similar in skill set. Should be interesting as i bet Mike is chomping again for key additions. PS just say NO to Spikes for anyone who might even consider it.

Dragonborn10 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Kid played every snap and for that he deserves high praise. I hope he is able to get bigger. I hope he is part of the solution and not part of the problem stopping the run. I still have my doubts. I look at the Seahawks and 49er's LB's and every one of them is bigger than Kiko - inside and out. Perhaps a major upgrade playing next to him will help him as well. Moats and/or Bradham might be the two worst starting line backers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Not to rain on your parade, birthday boy, but Richardson had a very good year for the Jest and the media machine that is NY City just may influence some of the lazier writers out there. I think Kiko deserves it as well, though. Go A-Rod! (that was just for you and the clerk down at the Hess station). GO BILLS!!! Pajamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It's odd watching Kiko play. His body type makes him look like a safety. Then you see him standing next to the D-linesmen and he's taller than they are. I think he could add a little weight and be just as fast and quick, and a little better against the run, but what will really make him even better than this year is experience. His main flaw this year was that he guessed wrong on gap assignments sometimes and took himself out of plays. When he fixes that, he's going to be fantastic.

Dorkington Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I guess next time I'll bold the positive part of the statement, so you people don't take the constructive part of the statement too negatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always see Brian Urlacher when I look at him. Urlacher was a safety in college, if I recall correctly.... and converted to MLB. Am I the only one who sees this similarity?

YoloinOhio Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Link to interview yesterday with Kiko on John Murphy Show podcast about the award, last season and next season: (interview starts at 8:12 mark) http://www.buffalobi...b7-38f77f59bcf4 Interesting that he said no one has talked to him about moving from MLB to OLB and he has not even thought about doing it.
