Damar is good at the run and a liability on the pass. 10 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: A reminder.... Dodson was ahead of Bernard at the point Bernard got hurt in camp.

CNYfan Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I have been unhappy with Bernard, but in deference and respect I will wait to see how it plays out. I hope I am wrong about Bernard's ability to play ok enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I’m hoping Kirksey is called up from the practice squad for game day. 5 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He filled in a bit when Edmunds was hurt. The guy looked lost and couldn't shed a tackle. Let get honest here. There is absolutely nothing that indicates he is an effective starter. Kirksey will be there shortly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amusing that some have disagreed and disliked this comment when it's just a simple fact. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 My take with linebacker is that at least we will see what we have early. If we start to struggle with him starting we have that Kersey guy, Paul kersey??? That, and make room to bring AJ back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 If Bernard can break up a pass, tackle for a loss, possibly intercept a ball or shoot to the correct gap, he'll be an upgrade at MLB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Bills fan base hate a draft pick more than Bernard? Holy smokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Starting Bernard at MLB is a total indictment of Dodson, Klein, and whoever else we saw at the position all summer. That said and even though we didn’t see it this summer, Bernard is probably the better cover guy of anyone else at the position. Front four has to keep him clean on run downs because he can’t shed a block worth a damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said: Bernard was expected, and I will be rooting for him to rise to the challenge, but I have a feeling it will be short lived and Kirksey will take over in the next few weeks. Seemed like Dane was leading for CB2 most of camp and preseason, so the late push by Benford was a bit of a surprise and considering Dane had a great camp, that is encouraging that Benford did enough to still over take him. I still think Elam gets mixed in when they are going man/press type coverages or need more speed on the field, but what a story for Benford to be a late pick and over take a quality vet and a first round pick. O'Cyrus was a no brainer, he looked the part all camp and preseason. Really looking forward to seeing him in action and he is going to get thrown into the fire out the gate with his Jets front line. Really excited about Ocyrus It normally takes a little bit of time for line to acclimate. He took that job over a seasoned vet. Can’t wait to see what it looks like in year two 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's undersized and for being so you would expect him to be super athletic which he's not. If he would have played in the preseason we would have all seen that. I definitely don't like the idea of them experimenting with him in a live game. This is going to be bad. Hopefully Kirksey will be available but I doubt it If Bernard is one thing it's a above average athlete Edited September 6, 2023 by noacls 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 15 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: Bummer about Elam Bummer the Bills drafted Elam when there were so many other quality players at positions of need. Benford panning out from the 6th round is helpful to the Bills, but it makes it all the more harder to take that the Bills drafted Elam instead of players like Devin Lloyd or Breece Hall with that 1st round pick. As for Torrence, really excited for him....a great pick in the 2nd round by Beane as I see him as a starter on this O-line for the next decade.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
