PokerSteve Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 And he's gone. Very short stay, to say the least. Here's the link: https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/kim-zolciaks-husband-kroy-biermann-210200435.html Edit: This is all about his wife, lol, but this is the first source I happened across for the story. Guess Ms. Zolchak went off the deep end right before he got his pink slip. Edit 2: From the Bills website: "...undrafted free agent linebacker Bryson Albright made the team over veterans Manny Lawson and Kroy Biermann... http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2016/09/buffalo_bills_announce_full_list_of_cuts_for_53-man_roster.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things will play out and we'll know with this "new" regime. Basically Quinn and whatever he brings and can influence. We still don't know yet. He took over a depleted roster that's for sure. Hope he has the juice to affect change. That's what we have at this point. I wish him well. New Season. Leave it on the field... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what we know and from what Arthur Blank's elite search party could figure out, Dan Quinn was the top HC candidate among the bright young coordinators. Other than Dan Reeves, that would make him by far the most promising incoming HC we've ever had. And his expertise is defense to boot, which has been a glaring problem for years. He's got a lot going for him, just hope it all comes together and quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trubirdfan4life Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 They have lost multiple linebackers and he is still gone.....people here still think he and Goodman and Mass and Starr and worrilow are players.....we simply waste time hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a lot going for him, just hope it all comes together and quickly. I agree PS. This is his chance to make his name. Funny thing is guys like Bill Belichick and Pete Carrol had early failures in the NFL and were afforded other head coaching opportunities. Times have changed. Quinn needs to make this work. He'll not likely get another opportunity. He has to have a dominate voice on this team. There has to be a clear chain of command. (If he's even allowed to be that type of head coach). That remains to be seen. It remains to be seen if he's capable. This is what we have to root for. Hope for. I'd like to see a clearly defined plan. It takes time but not a lot of time in today's league. This organization is all over the place. I can't help but be skeptical from the top down. Quinn has a ton of pressure. I'll let it play out. Looking back doesn't help as fans but I'd like to think the organization can learn from looking back at the debacle of player research and development. If Quinn truly is the man for the job then folks in the Falcons front office need to get out of the way. Quinn needs to push them out of the way. (If he can). I believe he's trying to put his mark on the team. It shows in the last two drafts. Theorettically speaking... I hope it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biermann scored his first NFL touchdown on November 2, 2009 in a Monday night game at the New Orleans Saints. He returned a Drew Brees fumble five yards for the score. On December 27, 2009, Biermann stepped in as the team's placekicker after an injury to the punter Michael Koenen during a game against the Buffalo Bills. Biermann, who had not kicked since high school, had kickoffs of 67, 58 and 54 yards. On October 10, 2010, he made headlines as he tipped a Jake Delhomme pass to himself for an interception and returned it 41 yards for a touchdown.[3] " -- the above came from wikipedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we know Quinn does have a plan and he's rapidly reshaping the roster with the speed guys he likes. His contract is for four years and I believe he'll be given the full four seasons to put it all together. With these improved drafts you mentioned as a positive indicator, you have to feel optimistic he'll get it done and get the Falcons to the SB in the next few seasons. Very interested in seeing how the real team looks in a real game situation in a few days. It would be nice if the winning began immediately.

It's still very early in his tenure. New blood on this team. That's refreshing. This is a young team. There will be growing pains. Doesn't mean they can't win but folks need to chill out. Quit over analyzing rookies. Young players. It's ridiculous. Quinn deserves the 4 years. This is like a college football rebuild. It will take time. I hope it works.

falcons4life Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 He's a nice guy and I wish him well. He was gracious enough to give me an interview back in 2010 and I always thought he would break out one of these years but he never did. Hope he had a post football life plan in place because he's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why some of our fans have a penchant for Rudy projects like Biermann is something to behold. Why Dimitroff and Smitty was keeping him on the roster for so long just goes to show that one of them is a bullsh*tter when it comes to knowing how to find talent from the draft after the second round.

I don't think a 5th rounder is a Rudy project. He isn't a UDFA who nobody expects to make the team, and he also isn't an elite player who should be expected to be top 10 in sacks. He is who we (should have) thought he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
