Why are we talking about Buck? The guy was great but he's a Colt now. There is no need to disparage the guy because he's no longer on the team. We just have to hope Kinlaw is just as good if not better.

I think Kinlaw will be better against the run but not quite as good rushing the passer. He will disrupt the pocket more but get less sacks, and that's completely fine with me. We're saving 15 million a year with this move which enabled us to keep some great players

I'm really high on Kinlaw myself. I REALLY did like Buckner. He was great ... but there were times that I thought, 'man, why doesn't he "show up" more during games?'

I know that is going to sound like I DIDN'T like Buckner, but those thoughts went through my mind at times.

I think it's going to show in mindset/style (call it whatever) attitude of play. Kinlaw just seems to be a "bad MOFO" with a nastier style than what Buckner displayed. If there is no falloff, then that would be awesome for a rookie without OTAs or a real TC. I think that is what we'll see. I hope I'm right.

... AND that's one of the big questions I had about the so called SUPERSTAR... there were moments of greatness then there were moments of the DISAPPEARING ACT..

.. before the season started last year, I repeatedly read how BUCKO would benefit MORE after drafting Bosa and signing FORD, instead, it was the Aweak ArmHurt who ended up benefiting.

Got beat 4 times in a row by Laken Tomlinson. He definitely has growing pains he needs to go through.

There's more to being a great d-lineman than being big and strong. Rook has a lot to learn.

We made a mistake trading away Buckner. Kinlaw better be a good player

Tomlinson is a pretty solid guard.
