cba fan Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Boldin bolted after Beane shipped out Watkins and Darby. He said that had nothing to do with it. lol That he wanted to pursue his human rights work. That it is more than football. Sure Boldin sure. Then weeks later tried to unretire to join a contender. Beane roadblocked that as he was mad he left Bills low on WR. Bills then broke the drought and made playoffs lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 3 minutes ago, Logic said: I think it was more so the "I was just waiting for Bernard to get hurt and Kirksey to take over" wording that I objected to. Also, Kwon Alexander is 227. Fred Warner is 230. Lavonte David is 233. Matt Milano is 225. Bernard is a bit slight, yes, but he's not tiny. His size compares reasonably well to some top flight linebackers around the league who have managed to have good to great careers. I get it and kind of agree. But there's 225 and then there's 225, and they don't always look the same Fwiw, when the Bills paid Milano, my only concern was about his durability. That concern appears to have been unfounded and I hope it is this time as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still an effective player in that period. Bernard is smaller than ideal, no question. But remains to be seen how much that hurts him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Wonder if it was a combination of Bernard looking like he might be solid in the spot and Kirksey not feeling like he came back as well as he expected too from his injury.

Milano is as much 225 as I am, his quads weigh 60lbs each. That guy came to camp closer to 250 than 225. I bet he plays around 235. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Blank Stare said: Hate to lose him. Great depth behind Bernard. Bernard is really small so hoping he can stay on the field all year. Don’t know that bringing back AJ Klein is the best move though. Yeah, he knows the system, but are there no other linebackers available with some athleticism on the street that are under 70 years old? Well I see you failed 5th grade math. How many times did you fail or can't you count that high? Christian Kirksey did not need to retire. He could have asked to be released and try another PS or wait for someone to work if he did not want to be paid to practice and provide veteran leadership.

He only played full steam and it took its toll on his he a lot so I'd rather he enjoy his retirement and hopefully his future health doesn't take a really bad turn. It is hard to tell how much his current injury history will impact his future health no sense gambling on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
