Simon Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Wonder if this says something really positive about Bernard in a way? If a seasoned vet like Kirksey is watching film on Bernard and coming to the conclusion that he can't unseat him, that would be sort of impressive. 9 minutes ago, Logic said: Respectfully...it's hard to overstate what an awful post this is.

I got the impression he was more of a run stopper and always thought he'd be role player in this D, not an every down player. For speculation on Bernard, I think this can only be viewed as a good thing. I was hoping they'd just roll with him all season anyway and let him grow through the struggles. That's the only way to turn him into the Edmunds replacement they desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only way to turn him into the Edmunds replacement they desire. I'm not sure about his athleticism at this point, but he is regarded as being extremely smart and instinctive running zones, recognizing how offenses are trying to attack and getting to exactly where he needs to be. Here's a pretty good article pointing that up with specifics 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Beane probably went to his Pinkalicious stories from bedtime with his kids and told Kirksey "You get what you get and you don't get upset." But just like Pinkalicious, Kirksey got very upset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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.

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.
