  1. In the other half he put up 320 yards in 9 games... remember how many qbs milt caught tds from? All of them. all of the qbs on earth. Hes a really good wr, legit go to no1 wr for the team. Im not sayin hes bad, but he sure isnt the no1 guy in the past 6 years.
  2. it was like the feeling every time kamau incompleterson caught a pass after he left wpg
  3. xD your right idk what i was thinking. From now on i shall call him santajesusgod.
  4. both games on tv? What is this madness? We arent even playing TO! 1290 continues warming up to take over the bombers coverage once knuckles retires. Nothing but my opinion behind that, but i hold to it. Westy and walby are pretty darn good too.
  5. I think just work outs. Back then that was mostly what cfl guys got. Hold a clip board and go get coffee. He did a bunch of that, threatened to request a trade one, threatened to retire, held out. Eh he was allways here for game time and allways kept the office stuff away from the field. Blink did a bit of that too.
  6. best wr for the past 6 years? Cmon man. hes got 1200 yards and change for 7 tds in the past 2 years. 1206 is his career high, and only been in double digits for tds once. 5/8 years in the cfl hes had 1000 yards. career average yards per season of under 1k. 3 year average of 750 and 5 tds. Plus some change.
  7. I think he explored them but I dont believe they amounted to much. He played his best after he hit 30, and its really tough for 30+ year old guys to get the jump to the nfl. 2000-2002 was his prime, and he was 30/31/32 in that time frame.
  8. The power generation comes from legs and hips and goes up. Lower body strength is more important, but great upper body strength can really bail a tackle out. Of course foot speed hip fluidity and such are all very important at tackle too. What ever a Ts weakest at is most important to him. Lots of linemen out there dont have particularly big arms for their stature. But they all have big legs. Its kinda taken for granted that when your 300+ and play a sport at a high level that your legs will be pretty damn strong. I think thats why 225 reps at the combine is thought soo highly of for linemen. If a guy has strong upper body and is that big his legs probably wont be lagging too badily. For me though ill take a quick/explosive tackle over any other single attribute.
  9. At a run jump position like wr ill take youth. Never know when a guy will lose a step. Some guys it happens kinda early others last pretty long. But with the average half life of a pro career, young and productive is about as good as it gets.
  10. The first play he runs by his defender and makes a great one handed catch then leaves his man in the dust. Lots of big plays, not that youd expect much else from a highlight reel. Looks like he tends to catch the easy between the numbers passes with his body. But when the ball is thrown low, high, behind or leading him he does a great job snagging it with his hands. There are a good few guys every year on nfl PRs that make a circus catch every practice or two, but body catch and have some drops on easy passed for this exact same reason. That said, this video is 5 years old and hes been around the nfl a good while. He ran a 4.6 40 which isnt blazing, but when you watch him in game and he reaches top speed with in a couple steps. Runs away from a lot of defenders too He looks really fast 0-20 yards and 40+. That and nifty foot work and good moves is why i imagine they tried to turn him into a KR. Clearly plays faster then 4.6, strong and a strong jumper too. Isnt a tackle breaker despite his size, but one of those guys who doesnt just fall over at contact. And he clearly isnt afraid of contact with lots of over the middle plays, and catches in traffic. The NFL knocks on him were not a good route runner, inconsistent with catches, Doesnt block, and isnt a high motor guy. But in college he looked like a solid STs cover guy. That and the length of time he stuck in the nfl I tend to think he isnt a low effort guy. Id say hes some where between chris brazzell and chris mathews. Clearly has all the potential in the world. Size, speed, hands, can jump and is big and strong. Really interesting to see what he will do.
  11. Its remnants of the long off season and people not having enough to freak out over xD
  12. Im betting both will be in camp on a wink wink type of deal but thats just me.
  13. Tbh i credit that mostly with khari's quick check downs. Its not some thing we saw make a big return when he came back as a HC and ran his own offense. I would love to see that return though. Id agree with that, but Imop he should have been fired before that. Turning a possible W we had no right earning into a L even if its a moral victory isnt gonna cut it in the cfl or any league. I didnt think it was just passive play calling, though that was a problem. Our offense under him seemed soo vanilla and lacking in diversity. Maybe it was plays to set up other stuff that never came to fruition but the offensive playbook/calling is my biggest concern for this team this year. I think our talent and depth is in a great place.
  14. Im waiting to see what we run and how we run it. Plop ran some awful offenses here at multiple points in time. The weapons we have should help prevent Ds from pinning their ears back and coming at willy every down.
  15. Personally id rather see us get the best OL out possible and make the ratio work else where. Im tired of watching our willy get smacked around.
  16. and a long list of other guys i can think of. not a rb but vinny sutherland seemed to fall over at the most flailing arm tackle attempt. Yeah it was a lot of what you see in mid level talent playing on low level teams. Didnt do any thing special hit holes and ran into tackles. Couple decent moves here or there not crazy speed or any great cuts. His 40 time was awful, but the first report from rookie camp was he looks quick. Its hard to tell some from video some times, how fast a guy is on the field. Guess we will see. But even if he isnt great im pretty excited to see the rest of our RBs in camp.
  17. hey the looking at their phones none stop and talking to each other is important stuff.
  18. He hadnt had a camp came in late in the season to a new team and new system and a team that over all wasnt good at all. Cant expect much in that situation.
  19. I guess he is still trying to get an NFL deal. Hes a really good player and a ratio breaker. Hes not doing him self any favors but im sure a couple weeks into the cfl season he will have a contract. We have 3 very strong Lbers. I wouldnt mind having leggett back at S and henoc at mlb but i dont think their is any chance that happens. So long as he doesnt end up a green rider idc too much.
  20. Flanders production was incredible. His nfl scout report is pretty messed up though. They say he has to break away speed, doesnt have strong moves, and goes down with first contact. 4.78 40 yard but a best of 4.65 Looks like a guy who isnt a josh ranek esq tackle breaker but not a guy who will go down with arm tackles. Maybe hes a guy who isnt a 40 runner but has football speed. Certainly doesnt look football slow in his highlights.
  21. Bombers add 6 and subtract 6. Released. Receiver Larry Pinkard Receiver Ernest Smith Running back B.J. Catalon Defensive lineman Jordan Stanton Defensive back Justin Green Defensive back Arthur Williams Added. receivers Gerrard Sheppard and Thomas Mayo, running back Carlos Anderson, defensive lineman Cameron Henderson, linebacker Duron Singleton, and defensive back Jarrid Bryant. All players are Internationals.
  22. I hope they get corney done before TC.
  23. We have 3 IMP Lbers that will start if healthy, thats the difference.
  24. that looks bloody solid.
