Kiko Alonso

[uk_dolfan]

We have heard a lot of talk on this forum about how Kiko Alonso is not very good at playing football (from multiple posters so do not call out any members.)

Here is another theory that I present for your consideration:

Damn good player when healthy. He has been involved in multiple good plays today and this is hardly a one off.

Look, i dont study tape nor make any illusions that Im a master talent evaluator but the guy makes plays.....right now (as in, last 3 games) we desperately needed one!

Yup. Has his issues for sure and I don't trust his health at all. But the guy is always making plays when healthy

If he would work on the the technical aspects of his game he would probably be in the top half of the LBs in the league

Edit: I can't spell lately

Kiko is a volume sack fumble for TD type of player. Volume tackle for loss too! Did you see that play on the reverse. He obviously feels confident free roaming and making plays in the middle.

I think he will be even better with higher quality linebackers around him.

Did you see Kiko break up that pass? Free ranging, roaming the field making plays. It is like he is saying don't bring that **** here or you will be "HAMMERED!"

 

[phinasota]

He is a beast out there today!!!

Yeah, I wonder if thats what we're seeing here. He knows the others will do their jobs and doesn't have to cover for anyone.

Yeah I've never understood the heat he catches here by some. To me, he's one of our best playmakers on defense and has generally played at a high level throughout his time here. He's also stepped up and made big plays at key moments.

Exactly. He doesn't have to try to do too much and focus on his game.

Kiko getting pressure forcing early throws. Lots of volume in the backfield. Looks like Rey Rey today.

 

[Travis34]

He has looked good today

 

[flynryan15]

Kiko and his play has ignited this defense. True leader.

Kiko is a good linebacker when he has good players around him. That's what I've seen of him in his career and his performance today doesn't change my mind. Having Timmons with him on the second level is a huge help to him.
