The Jokeman Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 28 minutes ago, WEATHER DOT COM said: Is Kirksey versatile enough to be a starting LB on this defense? Seems like an alright player but is he going to be a liability in nickel? Does he even play nickel? 17 solo tackles on 3rd down, 2 sacks and 1 interception. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/1759547/christian-kirksey/splits/2022/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a proven vet and young guy (Bernard) for this year, Dorian potentially next year. Keep 5 LBs (Kirksey, Milano, Bernard, Williams, Big Red) and bring back a combo of AJ/Spector/Dodson to Practice squad Wrong. Klein is a coach. Players call him a coach. And old man. The guy knows this defense. Can coach it on the field, knows the situations, and very capable of playing. We know his floor, we know his ceiling. We need a proven player in this system on this roster at the position. Dobson can go to the PS, Klein would be taken off of the PS. For some reason the MLB position this year is end over end different. Look around the league and you'll see why Edmunds made a boatload of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) 9 hours ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Yeah. He’s tight with Poyer and Hyde. He’s probably on his Buffalo now. He’ll start week 1. He’s not what he once was though. Last season he he put up very good numbers: Games- 17 Tackles- 124 Sacks - 3 Int's- 2 TFL- 7 AV- 9 Now whether he's a fit next to Milano is unknown. He's coming off a hamstring injury.

He's coming off a hamstring injury. He still seems to be able to start. LB stats are weird. It’s not hard to put up decent numbers. He definitely makes more splash plays than our previous starting MLB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) 11 hours ago, YodaMan79 said: Watch him sign with the Eagles PS and they develop him into a starting RT when Lane Johnson starts to decline. I think a good coaching staff could turn him into a NFL player. I say it's worth a shot on kicking the tires. Use the winning culture get guys like this into the program and hopefully develop into something. Your thought above makes total sense, unless of course Leatherwood is injured, or having other problems. In the short video I posted, he was a freshman stepping in for an injured Jonah Williams. He was also a teammate of Eagle guard Landon Dickerson in the 2021 title game. Leatherwood has plenty of experience at guard as well. Again, I have no way of knowing what type of problem he may or may not have but I agree with you in that he really might be worth a look. The NFL isn't for everybody but he was an excellent college player. Edited August 29, 2023 by Bill from NYC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I REALLY wanted the Bills to take him but of course McDermott puts defense first. That said, we did well taking Rousseau but I really do think that Dickerson would have made a HUGE difference on our Bills. Did you see him carrying Coach Saban on the field after title game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s an experience limit for being put on practice squad. Crowder has been around a while. Whoops, I was wrong.
