  1. they only get pay during half the year too, its basically like a regular person losing almost a month of salary. Quality player, great person. No matter how his career goes, he has done the team and city proud.
  2. That ass hole has got to go. holy crap how was this not bigger news. QFT. the job of the media is not to pander to the team or step softly. its been rare, but a couple of times we've seen bob question the leadership of the organization in dark days. no media should ever sell out their integrity. have you seen some of the roasting local NFL affiliates dump on their teams and players? What he said isnt edgy at all.
  3. Id be happy if he did, but even more surprised if he did. He isnt a burner by any means. He's got jamie stoddard speed. He's a polished possession wr. You have to put his college tape into perspective. Samford is a legacy team being over 100 years old. Before the 80s they had football for like 2 years at d3 in the 70s and thats it. They went from d3 to iaa in the 80s. Theyve won 2 play off games all time, and both where in the same year. They are a kick around team for other small schools like delaware and kennesaw state. If any thing, think robert gordon for his upside. Not fast or flashy, but a tough, smart, polished guy with hands. His fast 40 time is mid 4.65 which is wolitarsky zone, and his slow 40 was 4.83 which is great if you are a 300 lbs lineman. Illness, oh snap crapple and pop I hope its not covid. Love seeing woli full time. Wonder if sergio will draw out in favor of maruo.
  4. I thought McKnight might get the look. Though I hoped other wise. Yeah don't see many diminutive possession wrs. I'd a rather seen agudosi. Namaan is low risk low reward. He'd a been my 2nd choice. Honestly idk why we would keep namaan around if he'd behind McKnight. He doesn't have a high upside and if he's still figuring things out after a month plus he probably isn't a good fit. We move guys around a lot. We did it even more vs bc but ya.
  5. Idk I struggle with free time especially right now. Profession and family leave me with few big blocks of time right now.
  6. touch down, winnipeg blue boomers!! 😆
  7. He's a high 4.5 guy. It's pretty fringe speed. His field speed is a bit better than that number, similar to demski, but he'd be on the mid to slower end of imps on most any cfl wr core. He has a really well tuned stride. He's clearly put a ton of work into it. He changes gears better than most any one. He uses the speed cut, and pressure step expertly. Like milt, he's maximized his physical tool set to an exceptional degree. He doesnt have the quickness to make guys miss from a stand still (like blink), or the acceleration to gash through cut back lanes (like stokes), but his top gear is pretty good. With his ability to create cushion and his top gear, past the 40 yard mark, he can escape guys who are faster than him. He isnt a speed tool guy. He isnt a guy you could toss a screen to and watch him run away from the entire defense and score, or out run an angle with just speed. He isnt explosive and able to jump cut to make defenders look stupid. He's a smooth, crafty, professional wr. If lucky had his polish and craftiness, (or if darvin had luckys speed tool) he'd be a pro bowl wr. Its kind of funny, we have such freak athletes at DB and on D, but at wr we look for a totally different package. the 5 fastest players on our team are all on defense. Kyrie probably out run all of our wrs in the 40. Grant is explosive with great acceleration and top end speed. But nick taylor is easily our fastest guy. He'd roast any of our wrs in a foot race. even grant. Idk. On one hand I can kind of get why he was fired. But on the other, he doesnt work for the elk. In this situation steele comes off sympathetic for being honest and reporting the truth. The elk come off poorly but the radio station comes off smelling like a turd imo.
  8. gotta be honest though. most of our wrs, basically all of them out side of demski are in the duke level of speed. We got a lot of high 4.5 to 4.7 runners who are well balanced big and strong rather than quick or fast. (as of yet grant isnt a wr he's just a kr) But yeah I mean he's a horrible fit for them. I dont think he's gonna be very happy in sask. I read today he's not yet reported and they are hoping he will be in for the game after their bye. He's barely gonna end up playing at this rate. Thats his secret. If wr's dont have a chance to catch your deep ball, dbs sure as hell wont either. crazy like a fox.
  9. Hands of stone cloman too. It worked out for him in the end. He wasn't much of a qb but man he's had a good coaching career afterwards.
  10. Doesn't matter if your qb can't get it in your area code.
  11. Qft. It was one of the wildest championship runs ever. What a ride.
  12. Hes never maintained it but he's been a really good deep threat. He's like Chris brazzell
  13. before the injury sure. 😛 Mookie mitchell should be on the list too.
  14. https://www.goelks.com/injury-report/ Looks like the elks will be fairly healthy, to start at least.
  15. hope we get an injury update today.
  16. I loved him as a player. Always wanted him in blue n gold. Friggin beast of a man. SJ green had some hands on him too.
  17. Stegall. Jake Wieneke has the sickest grabs in the league today. But even his great leaping efforts are stuff you expected Milt to make. The end zone hit in mid air and snags the ball while falling to the ground vs the riders is in the top 2 craziest catches ive ever seen. Against toronto, he tipped a deep ball with his left hand then secured it with the same hand while extended, but maintained stride and scored a td burning 3 argos defenders. Every year for atleast 12 or 13 years you could argue milt had the best catch of the year. And half the years, you couldnt even argue against it. On top of the circus act, he had the fewest drops of any wr ive ever seen. Pass thrown well behind him? No problem he will just reach back and catch it with his off hand with out breaking stride. Shoe laces? no matter he got it. Hung out to dry way up in the air, he will get it take a hellacious hit and keep possession. The joe jurevicious tip catch and randy moss one hand stab with the raiders got nothing on milt. Also, milt played in an era when you could mug receivers. The only era harder to be a WR was before the 5 yard bump rule. He played with the weakest assortment of qbs of any hof wr in any league.
  18. To also put this into perspective, the guy who maimed my mother for life had his drivers taken away for 1 year. Then he had to pay a very high cost to get it back, 2-3 grand. His parents paid it. He didnt miss any days of work or get fired. He wasnt arrested or charged. I lived in a small town and went to school with his younger brother, and at an earlier point he dated my sister. He bitched and moaned endlessly to all who would listen about not having his license and the cost of his insurance. My ex's dad got soo many tickets and DUI's they took his drivers permanently. (he was intoxicated and flipped his truck on a back road in the middle of summer for the "final straw") Only he drove long distances for work. And his boss hired a high end lawyer who was able to get it knocked down so he could drive for work for 3 years then got his full license back. They listed his residence as his cabin, and since he worked all over basically every car ride could be considered work. I can share too many stories like that. I take DUI very seriously, and personally. Our society does not. Drive around the south east of the province and youll see more intoxicated drivers than drivers on their phone on the weekend. Most people arent good or bad. Every one makes a bad decision every now and then. Lawlers actions past this point will forever come under a greater deal of scrutiny. If he has a minor issue, he may get passed over completely by the NFL and miss out on his window. Half way through this year he's on track to get an NFL deal. If this went worse, he couldve been out of football for good. Id say the punishment, and potential further punishment is in line with the crime. Far, far more so than it is for most civilians.
  19. 1 game is not the equivalent of 1 day though. 16 weeks including byes. 1 game cheque is 1/16th of his years pay. Thats nearly a month of work for a regular person. Leonard was suspended 2 games for failure to test and 1 game for assaulting a league official. Guess he couldve killed that official too, or who knows roid rage in a car and he couldve killed a dozen people.
  20. Hamilton is one of my least favorite places in canada. I hate having to go there and wont stay over night unless some ones gonna die. Hamilton, regina, edmonton and toronto. No joke 100s of better small cities and towns in mb, bc, quebec and the maritimes. Even western ontario. The bottom tier for me. Winnipeg has a lot of charm and some really great areas. I can see how outsiders would miss it all together if they dont know a pegger. Their loss. The guy has a huge heart. And he loves the game. I thought he showed a good bit last year early on. Id love to see him turn the next corner. Right. Demski, Harris, and Brady on the field at once. Good luck defending that.
  21. Im not surprised. Dude is like 5'9 tall by 5'9 wide and 5'9 thick. And he is far from sloppy. You dont see DTs built like him often. I loved in the pre game show where he talked about reviewing his own film. Thats a guy who clearly expects more of him self than any one else could possibly expect of him. Sheed is motivational, but Stove is motivated. I mean he had a couple fantastic run down from behind plays that game too. That man can RUN too. He's like a 2/3 scale version of larry allen.
  22. he also said he doesnt expect the league to add to it. And I think you and mos are right about it. Unless it comes out he blew some crazy high blood alcohol level. I hope it all also involved some sort of counseling or substance abuse program to support him. Every one makes bad decisions. Its also easy to be penitent once youre busted. (unless youre ac leonard) I hope he can keep his nose clean. I cant imagine a guy who would chronically make bad decisions like that would survive the fifo nature of the team. So Im hope full it will work out. And yes, I bet he has a serious chip on his shoulder and plays his best football going forward. He's also 27 and on a 1 year deal. So im sure he is looking for an NFL shot with some guaranteed money after this year.
  23. 500 wouldnt even be high for him. those legs are like the torso of a good size rb each. Idk if hes a gym rat type of guy. But im sure he'd physically be capable of 650-700 lbs. Top world numbers are in the 1000s now. Wouldnt be surprised if he could squat as much as he could dead lift.
  24. cant, you can only go back like 8 or 9 years on here.
  25. Plus other than the game you'd be in hamilton. eww.
