Kelly the Dog Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Anesthetic would be redundant. Kiko doesn't feel pain. Pain, rather, feels Kiko Alonso. Never rule out Kiko. Not even Kiko rules out Kiko. Kiko never rules out. Kiko only rules in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Fan in MD Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It's not his job to rule out playing this year. That's why there are doctors, coaches, and a training staff. Hell, with his attitude, I'd be surprised if he said anything else. I'd also be furious if the team does anything to risk his long term health.

Bob in Mich Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It is great that the guy is working hard in rehab but in my opinion it would be a mistake to rush him back. At 4 months post surgery the knee will likely feel pretty good but the danger lies in the fact that the tissue used to make the ACL graft is still weakening (middle third of the patella tendon). Between 3 and 6 months the body is able to form blood vessels to feed the relocated tissue and thereafter the new ligament gets stronger over time. Relying on the ligament before it is strong enough usually causes stretching to occur rather than an immediate failure. Given that the purpose of the ligament is to keep the bones together, a stretched ligament is soon little better than no ligament as it will allow giveways to occur. Giveways very often cause damage to other parts of the knee - meniscus (cartilage), bone, and the other ligaments. So, rushing him into service, even if he feels wonderful, would be a mistake that could cause him further problems down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Kiko shouldn't play this year. If we value his long term health and want him to be a face of the Bills defense you sit him for the season and bring him back when he is 14 months removed from the injury next year.

Keep him out. Let him line up in spirit. I fully expect his spirit would still lead the team in tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBaumer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It's a win win. Either Bills are in contention and a tough decision is made or they are out of it and he gets all the rest he needs. I think I'll take the former Thank you. ...
