“He was a very quiet kid; didn’t say three words,” Cattolico said. “But he was a tremendous football player. … He was one of the few kids I coached that I said could have a future to play on Sundays. He was that dominant. “When he hit people, they went in the other direction in a hurry.” Like the quarterback of Milpitas High in a league championship game. Alonso lit the young man up as he tried to scramble during one ill-advised play. “The kids on the [Los Gatos] sidelines went crazy,” Cattolico said. “The guy who was holding the chains was the kid’s father. He got up, started yelling at the kids. He was ready to fight everyone on the sidelines. The poor quarterback wasn’t able to play the rest of the game.” When Alonso returned to the sidelines, a big grin was on his face. “You’re always causing trouble,” his coach told him with a chuckle. Alonso’s response: “He shouldn’t have tried to run.” That type of controlled violence impressed Aliotti, who recruited Alonso to Oregon. “Kiko to me is like a heat-seeking missile — see ball, hit ball,” Aliotti said. “He did that in high school. He did that in Oregon. He did that in his first year in Buffalo.”

Just hope he can stay healthy.

I sure hope an improvement on his rookie year is what we start getting from him.
 
He may be a longshot at this point, but Alonso was the only positive part of that trade in my eyes
 
If he can be close to what he was in 2013 then we'd have ourselves a true playmaking instinctual Mike backer.
 
Alonso and Jordan coming into the season healthy and playing at full speed seems like a long shot.

But people have forgot just how damn fast these two on the field together were at Oregon. We need that speed desperately.

This is also longshot, but I wonder what chip would give us if we packaged them and sent them to SF?
 
You would have to think we kind of watch out for him ilhim in TC, just let him focus on strengthening his knee and minimal reps in the preseason.

I won't even allow myself to think about anything related to Jordan scenarios until (IF) he gets reinstated.

I don't blame ya, I'm not either.

But I did watch some video of him and kiko earlier, and they really complimented each other extremely well. Dion applied the pressure and kiko cleaned up the mess.

Off season pipe dream - likely Kiko done...

Dolphins have failed ONCE AGAIN to deal with our guard problem and linebacker problem...and our secondary problem....

I like Gase and the coaching staff - I like the hold out and wait for talent at an affordable rate approach...

The team needs to get serious about rebuilding our offensive line and our linebackers or we will be in the basement of the AFC east AGAIN!

Personally I cannot take it...just sayin...can't take it...

That's because there's a 0% chance that Jordan does.

Thanks doc :up:
 
would be really great to see a resurgence of kiko here in Miami he seems like he'd fit well, and we need mlb in the worst way

he has a chance to shine w suh on the line but unfortunately i find myself having these rationalizations with our injured/fell from grace selections year after year. at least this one has competed at a high level.

longshot though, we're more likely to get consistent production at cb2 from maxwell
