Oof I’ll take caretakers exit instead

I’m hoping Fortin is there at our pick and we take him. I’d take Alford if he’s available too, only an nfl camp invite good chance he’s here this year. Tremendous character, size, athleticism, good production down south too. We need to groom replacements for Demski and more depth. Shand and Saad would be great fits for our 30 front and as 3t in the 40. I think we have a good chance to get a project able db with big upside in the draft at a bunch of spots. Haie, cumberbatch, Findlay, Beauchemin etc a guy we can groom, use on teams and play in a limited role for now. Like ford did as a rookie. ol, dl, db, wr maybe more than 1 ol in the top few picks. Db and dl are deep with great athletes. Our top 5 picks could all make the team. Im hoping we can grab Pyle mid to late, and Sénécal late in the draft to develop as a super sub versatile Canadian.

Replacements is my favorite football movie lol

The three schools also integrated 6 years before the 3 teams were merged. Though not all equally. but the biggest one is Herman Boone him self. Who was at best regarded as a cruel bastard and was forced into retirement as apart of a multi year abuse scandal when his entire team including coaching staff mutinied. He was a monster of a person painted as an anti segregation hero. Yoasts depiction was accurate if under sold a bit.

As I’ve gone back and watched old football movies I’ve found most don’t hold up. The real story of titans over shadowed the movie heavily originally but it’s soo bad to try and watch titans now.

100%. I loved him in my name is earl. Seeing him in the hunt after his change in physique was tremendous. Idr where but I saw him talk about the process really interesting. Fantastic story, happy for the guy.

Aaaaaaannnddd the browns grab him in round 5. Brb going to buy a lotto ticket.

Lmao nice.

I don’t get his slide at all. He’s got a tremendous combination of size and athleticism with good production, and crazy upside. He’s one of the better nfl project players who could make an ar while developing early on. Most athletic developmental guys with the size don’t have the production, or ability to actually fulfill the potential he does. Also, im so over these drawn out pro drafts. First round in the nfl on one day at prime time and the rest the next? Fine. But the rest of the draft should be 2 hours ish tops. No need for the rest of the draft to be slower than the first round used to be. The mlb gets through was more picks per minute with way more prospects in a larger geographic area.

I thought he’d go up the draft a little not down. 4ths past half way over. It would be insane if this bumper crop of highly athletic skilled guys slide in the nfl market and ended up here. Usually we see the top end of weak drafts poached hard, we could use a bumper crop sliding past and ending up here early. A lot of value comes from seeing an nfl training camp imo, so if a bunch of guys go to udfa and down that list could be great for the league.

I think he will be drafted late ish 5th plus. Probably by the browns lmao. If not he will for sure get a fa deal. Idk if you can fix a guy like him. His dad isn’t just another bad sports micro manager, he’s the all time worst sports dad with the most power and leverage. This whole thing might ruin his confidence too, plus rookie year nfl tc is a brutal reality check. Im not a fan of his athleticism, arm talent, or any of his intangibles. Pretty much the prototype of what I wouldn’t want in a qb. Despite the hype, I think a lot of teams feel similarly. All the red flags, not nearly enough of the positives

So how much further does shedeur sanders need to slide in the nfl draft before the riders add him to their neg list? 🤣

Suitor would be a sour cream. Kate would be a Boston cream filled with axe body spray. Matty would be rum raisin. but most of this forum would be old fashioned.

over 10 times a game, and every single time they talk about up coming games and schedule during other teams games.

I'm not against a good story when it exists. But those times are rare. Forcing things makes it all so much worse.

I feel like the biggest sports media types succeed with a persona that is a very exaggerated version of themselves. Tony Kornheiser is a great example of this, and Michael Wilbon is as well. I think many of the newer generation of sports media types try to emulate them to a certain degree. Chris Berman and Stuart Scott also had larger-than-life on-screen personalities. Stephen A Smith has been entirely consumed by the persona (and ego) he created. It feels like she/they are trying to recreate this, but with zero success. I never watch more of the pre-game or post-game than I have to anymore. And I often mute the audio to listen to CJOB. I would rather listen to unsynced sound and awful cjob commercials, or nothing at all. I didn't mind the preseason games that were televised with no audio and stadium noise only. How can the league grow when die-hard fans (I know I'm not alone here or across the league) can't stand to listen to the presentation on TV? My wife isn't a die-hard fan, and she can't stand the panel or the booth most of the time either.

That does seem to be the case, honestly it doesn’t matter to me though. (I know she’s not like that with the raptors stuff she’s done, be it a small sample size) Idk if they can separate her from the gimmick. The bad taste is strong. Production/ direction needs change, and much of the tv talent needs to be replaced. Bo is better than any of the ex players in the panel and the booth. Lapo is excellent but under utilized. Ford should probably be In the limited role lapo usually has. Hes just not a natural speaker and hasn’t improved a lot.

That makes a lot of sense. TC is a hard time, aside from the declawed nature of the actual work, separating from family and settling into that intense work schedule is a lot mentally. Wish him well, Im sure it is a hard call. Probably no benefit for him in going onto the retired list. I feel like a lot of young guys who do this don't officially retire.

QFT, Laura is fantastic. She'd be a massive upgrade. Yep, just the worst kind of schtick. She's like a bland stephen a smith with out any hot takes.

The right way, the wrong way and the Max Power way! Isn't that the wrong way? Yeah, but faster! The tsn way is the wrong way, but cheaper.

Ol and Dl for me. Ol will be better than last year based on improved health alone. I am optimistic about the DL having Lawson back and adding Vaughters. If we could get a good Canadian who can play a 3-tech and end in limited reps out of the draft, that'd be excellent. The worry is, of course, that Jake is still here and might get the most reps. I don't want to see us give up on Adams, or Woods, or even Samson, because Jake gets the most reps again. I'm worried about QB, too. I think we have the assets in the draft and on the roster to make up for all our weaknesses. Though it will all come down to how the offence is run, and qbing. I like the direction in the coaching staff, and I believe in the talent of zach and Strevy. Their health and fit/usage is another thing, though. If Jake and Kola were off the roster tomorrow, my confidence in our roster would go up a lot.

Im not at all worried about our DBs, Lbers, or Rbs. Maybe we make some bad decisions at Lber but I kind of doubt it. Everything else is up in the air.

Whoooooo! Yeah Baby! TSN! Shout to everyone back home! Grunting noises. The whole show feels like someone's AV class homework. I can't imagine who would watch all of that each week. Or even once. Maybe if they made it a clip show of the best on field hot mic moments and included it in a highlight of the week package. You could even package it in a high energy segment like the old ESPN NFL "You been jacked up!" I thought yours was 20? 😉 An age ranking of posters would be hilarious. My money says Zach Schnitzer is the youngest, he knows how podcasts work. Gotta be right?

Yeah, he would be ideal as a sam IMO. It would be a worthy consideration to move Kramdi, but I don't think we would ever entertain that. But having Griffen and Nichols as the halfs would be an incredible luxury. Holm might really excel at field corner too. They love his quick hips, and he has elite closing speed. He doesn't have the physicality, but he also doesn't sell out for hits he knows his limitations and wraps up.

It's a great draft for us to restock on mid roster and up Canadians. If we have another draft like last year we will be in good shape for years to come. I might consider a QB in this draft, but only in a likely transition to WR, while still being able to do the QB sneak duties. Senecal would be the ideal target for that IMO. That guy needs to have some streveler type heart and work ethic, willing to make him self a useful player on teams as well.
