Talented guy with the ball in his hands. But one of those guys who doesn’t have a great way to get the ball with out taking away from Brady. Good change of pace back but we don’t split Carries. And to be honest we can get better backs, he didn’t take the step he needed to as a pass catcher. It’s tough with that kind of hybrid talent. Lots of guys who are dynamic but not polished at any thing.

Strev with buck is gonna be nuts. Plop didn’t use Strev with much creativity, he is just that dynamic a player. Team is gonna be a nightmare to prep for.

He’s a beast. The best first year cfl prospect we have, and we have a bunch of guys who were on nfl rosters and very well thought of. He should’ve gotten way more looks down south.

I think he’s been put in the boat with jeffcoat but I’d love to be wrong about that.

I don’t think any one has 3 more talented QBs or a better set of QBs going into camp in the league.

Really good pick up. He made a Vikings team that had a good group of WRs, as a wr. He was a good kr in college, but isn’t a kr that plays wr. He’s a wr that does kr for touches. Great hands, attacks the ball and makes catches in the smallest windows. Great body control and balance. https://m.facebook.com/UAB.Blazers/videos/myron-mitchell-top-5-catches-from-2019/599405780924055/ Itd be great if we carry two guys like that one as the 5th wr and one as a kr while being able to interchange them on both kr and the offence.

Easily the best qb prospect we’ve brought up since streveler and maybe the best prospect qb we’ve brought up from the us in atleast 20-25 years. Likely means he will be cut in rookie camp, or a final tc cut lol.

https://3downnation.com/2024/04/17/dublanko-cracks-sixth-spot-in-final-scouting-bureau-rankings-ahead-of-2024-cfl-draft/ 9ol in the top 16. That bodes well for the league. Though I think as many as 5 of those will be nfl bound for now. That still is good for us who need to stock the cupboard but don’t necessarily need a body in camp this year. I think Duguay is better than the 7th best ol, but it is a strong top heavy group. I’m thinking 2-3 of those guys never reach the cfl. A couple more could be 2-3 year waits as well. Man it could be a huge power shift if a team can get 2-3 of those guys too. If I was a middling team I’d be trying to pack picks in the middle 1st to early 3rd to try and hoard some of those ol.

To be fair, stove missed half of 2021 too. I love the guy but I’ve got no expectations for him. He’d be a flyer at this point far from a projectable starter.

True, though they have even more reason to go with a good pass pro back which Stan field isn’t. Watching Hamilton and bc consistently go after washed backs is soo odd. They haven’t been punished for not holding him back to date why start now. The difference this year with jeffcoat is we get him for 1/3 less of a season. A lot of opportunity to improve from the guys we moved on from. Dl is one of those spots that’s easy to find high quality imps at too.

You think that’s a good job of replacing guys?

Seems like a lot of nfl experience among new guys too.

All great picks, and it seems like we’ve got a bumper crop of prospects this year. For me the position battle to watch will be db/wr. We’ve got plenty of openings and it’s likely rookies will fill those spots. 1 starting wr, 1 kr, likely 2 dbs. Here’s a few guys I think will be good watches and could have a big camp. Ronnie brown. 5 11 185lbs dual threat rb who tore up d2. Also damn near made the bucks active roster couple years ago as tcf. Don’t know how he would/could be fit in, but I think he’s gonna go off on camp and pre season. Db terrell bonds has a good chance to take one of the starting db spots. NFL experience, kick cover and kr experience, started in ufl very productive in college. vanterpool at T is a guy to watch in the replacement for bond. Played g and t, very highly regarded in the nfl for a bit, huge streak with out giving up a sack or taking a penalty with great size. lber Michael Ayers, dominated d2 and has prototypical wil size and athleticism Jordan Lewis is another prolific lower level de/wil tweener to watch.

Nope, or his gig selling surgical stuff. He’s one of the most under utilized assets around Canadian football. I do believe you are right and that the commish has to live in gta for head offices. I think bc would be good with it. Ssk honestly hates randy enough that they’d take Doug or wade happily. Bc I think would be good with him, Alberta wouldn’t like him but they are two dumpster fires with fractional fan bases rn. pinball in reality would likely get the first shot at that job.

Wouldn’t say no to that. any one worth a damn would be nice in the short term. Long term though yeah. Some one who could do the job for 10+ years would be great. id make that sacrifice for the league. I’m not sure if wade would want it though. Did cohon didn’t come with football experience. I’d be really open, we could take a sports business guy like him, or say victor cui, and pair him with a guy like Buono for a few years to bring them a long. It’s been no secret that I’m but on cui, hed for sure be on my short list. A long with wade, pinball (out side of all this Kelly stuff) would be good. a huge sleeper pick he probably wouldn’t want it and no one out side of the bomber fan base would think it, but Doug brown would be a fantastic guy to groom for it. I could see Austin being in the mix, and huffer too.

I wonder if this could be the final nail in his coffin sure as hell should be. The hypocrisy of the league trying to be progressive and inclusive plus coming down harder than before on creeps then acting like this is insane. Unless the league has some kind of hard evidence that this is all fabricated, wagons should start circling. maybe the league could hire Buono to source and investigate candidates for a new comish lol

It’s like the worst parts of basketball and track combined with all the fun of watching paint dry, with the worst time keeping in history. If kids are playing it that’s great, sports give a lot to those who play it. It’s a decent sport for cross training. But I can’t understand people who enjoy it. Good for the gappers making a nice profit. They’re gonna need that money if they aren’t a play off team (and I don’t think they will be). The worm has turned in Regina and people will be as happy to see oday fired as they would be to win a bjb. More and more the sea of green is turning into browns fans with paper bags. Apathy is the most dangerous thing for a sports team. This generation has seen the riders win and it has no novelty any more. They aren’t gonna keep coming out to watch a crap team. True. Especially since guys have started training to excel in just the tests.

Some of that has been true in the past, and d2/3 have a combined combine day, however even most of those schools and colleges specially the d1 no longer allow grouping of out side players. This has been the case for almost 15 years now. More d2/3 schools have the pro days now that you’d think. Ds is not the source, they draw their nfl prospect numbers from the nfl. They take fringe players numbers from all kinds of sources. That why you’ll see huge variances on some guys testing numbers and edits. Ras ras also brings all kinds of spurious numbers in. And you can enter data and entrees. Hand times are not reliable. even amongst those with amazing reflexes and expert level execution. I’ve personally seen manual times of professionals range from sub 4.2 to high 4.3 on the same pass. Guys who have never broken 4.5 suddenly running low 4.3s. Doesn’t matter who is timing it when it’s manual.

I’d give free tick drink and popcorn to schools and pack games with students. the soccer league and team are dead though even the what ever old guy basketball league we have now has more of a pulse. tbh if we are gonna put money and effort into some thing, it should be the bison and rifles use the ground swell of support to really grow the pipe line with in the province. Such a good bad movie lol. Wasnt his defence some thing like he didn’t know it was banned lol.

NFL draft page is the reliable page. Ds isn’t, unless it’s a draft prospect. They default to claimed times and don’t indicated official verifiable times. At big schools sure. But not at average schools. Do you know how many medium and small schools have a pro day each year? You’re talking north of 360 just in d1, at the same time of year. On top of that some atheltes and groups run their own pro days. You’d be stunned how many actually happen each year, we’re talking north of 500. Some juco, hs, and bush leagues even run pro day type events, though often aimed at d1 schools. Some of the position, and athletic testing/training camps have been doing them as well. I heard a horror story of an arena league team doing a combine at their try out day where they used yard sticks and foot over foot methods and a cell phone to time sprints. Lots of schools will gas up their major young guys tell them they ran or jumped some thing crazy in spring too. I don’t love a lot of the sprints, it’s hard to get an idea of a runner based on 10 20 40 times. The 40 was invented to only test guys for their ability to cover punts. Then later used for WRs to measure deep routes. The broad and vert aren’t as mechanically demanding as high and triple jumps. If any thing I’d love to see a time measurement added to broad and verts, as well as vert splits for no step 1 step 2 step and runway vert. The nba has long separated guys ability to jump with no gather Vs steps. Football could really learn from that.

This is a great point. Honestly the sum she’s suing for is soo relatively small I’m surprised mlse didn’t just write a cheque and slap a gag order on this.

yeah, and I think that’s always a concern when you’re looking at kids who fall to junior college for any reason. But I think it’s also super easy to weed (lol) those guys out in a single conversation. Really interesting break down of the star recruit system and a bit of the positional scouting anomalies. It’s interesting to compare to how we scout and what attributes we prize at different positions as well.

Not a terrible reliable source though, they post claimed numbers. They are good at updating nfl combine prospects but not none invites. Si has his official time at 4.9. They also have his claimed fast time incorrect. Vert is a better success indicator than 40 for de, broad even better. Problem is many schools for pro days do max vert and list as vert instead of no step. it’s dumb for sure. But I mean he was kid. Kids are dumb. Could also have felt he needed it for inflammation/pain. A lot of ncaa kids smoke weed or cbd to try and avoid opioids.

You mean 80% of the pro sports athletes in North America? Idc about the weed what so ever. More worrisome when a guy red shirts for academic reasons to me. If you can’t find and stick to the mail it in courses in football schools that’s scary. Though even that I think is over rated. I hate the ncaa development system for sports. It’s soo broken and out of place it’s not even funny. Remember when we had a db pop for mdma a couple years back? Better than that too. I’m pretty sure his reaction would’ve been oh crap they test for none peds? Habba ran a 4.9 pro day as well but at 240. Some guys don’t translate to track speed just like some track fast guys don’t translate to the field (Barrett the lber last year is a good example) he’s also more quick with an explosive first step like Habba. Idk if his quickness will be still be quick enough for the cfl. But if it is he could be a real gem. Habbas certainly does. He’s also got decent comparisons to jeffcoat, but JJ was faster and way more polished. Imp version of kongbo but with character issues. Though kongbo had run better 40s in the past. I think he tested post injury 4.8 but had run low 4.6 at some point. But college unofficial times are real suspect. can we sign kongbo too please? Some very interesting names still floating as fas.

I read the first sentence as images of matlock immediately sprung to mind lol.
