  1. I’ll take the scrappy under sized over achiever vs the maybe wants it doesn’t need it over sized under achiever any day and twice on game day. Sums it up perfectly. Reminds me of collaros last year talking about being a freshmen in college and evading the rush running around and making throws. Only for his coach to tell him to knock it off because he isn’t that athletic.
  2. Gotta hope they are just keeping wear and tear or getting a good look at the new guys.
  3. I always have a bit of hesitance for guys like heavy balls. Heavy tall athletic with a big arm he’s got a lot of raw high value tools. Upside is sky high no doubt. But it won’t take much fulfilling of that to end up backing up in the nfl long term. And it’s hard to see guys like that also having the tangibles needed to become a star. If they had it they would’ve already stepped up.
  4. Well Darby wasn’t listed. As for holm we probably have 2 or 3 better rookies.
  5. Man it’s gonna be unfair to have schoen and lawler on the same side. A lot of them production was made by the guy playing out side of milt back in the day. Teams are gonna be blanketing extra coverage over that side so much woli might not see any one out side of blocking guys lol. We’ve brought in like 3 guys one at a time already I’m sure they are committed to having a nose this year. For the rotational edge I think Bennett will get all the opportunity in the pre season to take that spot. If he can make a go of it situationally when hansen gets healthy we will have it made. If not a di there is gonna be key.
  6. Camp is tough on the legs. We likely won’t know how knicked up any vets are till the first pre season game. Other than guys on the 6 game that is.
  7. They have bereavement lists etc as well though. Not sure we will ever get an answer other than him playing.
  8. First and foremost if the reporting was present they would know if he is in town, and if he was in town and left. That alone tells a lot vs if he never arrived. Other wise, they call his agent or him. It’s easy to a none citable tidbit that gleans wether he is being roster hidden or if an issue exists. In other words, investigative journalism. Their job isn’t to regurgitate what ever they are told and nothing more. I get it from mos perspective. They don’t need to worry about our fan bases engagement. We show up money in hand and support. It’s not his job or concern to inform us. It’s his job to maintain a high level of quality on the team. It’s the media that’s the issue. Half is directly owned by the bombers and do no work out side of fluff pieces. The other half is indirectly owned by the bombers and do nothing out side of fluff pieces.
  9. Strange, wonder why they wouldn’t hide grant on the ir. Disappointing that Taylor didn’t make it to pre season. Hope we bring in another pass rusher.
  10. They aren’t playing around with these guys. They can find nose tackles and Dts and know it. They identify fits very well. 26 tackles 6 tfl 3.5 sacks and 5 hurries in 11 games is really good. Another under 6’ and 300 lbs college nose tackle. Explosive quickness and strength. I’m sure the one they go with will be a gem for us.
  11. Pretty much. He’s still pretty young for an imp tackle. If he’s recovered then they probably hide him and he only draws in if yoshi/hardrick get hurt.
  12. 75 ground 25 db lol Only in the cfl can you fail as oc and qb1 with one team then go to another team to be hc and qb1. It’s even crazier to me that some one looked at that mess and wanted both. I could understand if the treadmill caused maas to be recycled as a hc. They could blame cf. and cf being a starter? Blame maas. But to take both is crazy.
  13. Hope fully they will use some guys versatility to keep Lawrence on the starting roster. I have this bad feeling they might let him go rather than shuffle guys around.
  14. idk how many imp ol aren’t starters but have that much service. But they would certainly be very valuable. Would it extend to globals? I think rotational de / pass rushers will be really big. Lots of those guys with enough years of service and lots of ni dl kicking around to create depth instantly. might be some rbs who can rotate with ni fbs who block on passing downs. could see lots of older dbs platoon with nis or function as a dime. Would Sergio Castillo count as a nationalized imp? How would that work with a kicker? Would he count as just a ni counter same with grant. If that saves us one or two di spots that would be pretty huge. Neither would play 49% of snaps in any case. Teams are gonna exploit the crap outta this one way or another.
  15. He was a total pylon at tackle in preseason twice and in the regular season. He could be better as a guard but man I wouldn’t want that guy starting for us at T under any circumstance.
  16. Honestly the first half when our run game struggled a lot our offense under achieved in general as well. If Brady ran in the first half like he ran in the 2nd half we would have been top by 100 more points.
  17. Don’t think any one was gonna rush to carry the don, old dave, or wiley. Quick way to end up on the ir.
  18. Honestly I don’t think any one is prepared. The league couldn’t keep the cats following the old ratio I don’t know how the league plans to enforce all this stuff with various subs and injuries. I expect some teams will cheat their face off until the league cracks down and maybe comes up with an easier way to moderate it.
  19. Depends on who and when you ask. Before the gcs it widely considered on here that our offense was great with low passing yards high 2 and outs etc by way of having high total points including fgs etc. The truth is extrapolation of offense to a further our point based on much worse field positions from less turn overs, a worse kicking game, or a worse running game, etc just doesn’t work. It’s like when the rider fans would say Kenton Keith was better than blink because he had more ypc and at his ypc with blinks touches he’d have more yards. We can’t know what would happen in the situations and how much tertiary values are worth. Agree with all that. I think he may be facing a bit of cognitive dissonance in his deterioration though. He certainly still thinks he’s the same guy who barley lost any games during his first few years. And that could make him look like he just can’t pull it off in the clutch any more when in reality he’s about as clutch as ever he’s just diminished over all.
  20. Thats true, they were still a solid offense.
  21. Another thing to remember is that the bombers took their foot off the gas with a few games to go as well. No one else was resting any where near as many starters.
  22. I’d say less than 50% chance one of those guys gets cut. And it probably won’t be the guy I’d cut. 0.00001% it’s grant. I think with our team it’s more surprise who’s hurt and won’t be ready for game 1. My pick is biggie or an ol.
  23. We’ve ran it occasionally with buck running the show. It’s really hard to pull off the pass pro to make it work for more than a screen. But the di wr / grant goes in. agree on clements. Eli it’s all about the shape he’s in. If he’s close to 100% he’s drastically better. Kolo at c is worse than clements at wil. they know Houston will start. Probably giving guys in a battle a better look.
  24. Hopefully they will all be practicing soon and aren’t hurt.
  25. the wr we added in all these moves Braxton Westfield. 6’4 205 4.5 40 37” vert 10’7 broad jump. Red shirt on an naia title team then went down to d2 to play. Physical specimen, productive in d2 but looked open by a mile all the time could’ve used higher competition levels. Very interesting none the less.
