Bombertown reacted to Booch in Elks @ West Division Champs: The Game (that no longer matters) Day Thread
good advice if so....any draft profile I looked at said he was a FS or should be a possible prospect at FS....

Game speed and some fast guys aren’t 40 runners. Some guys are much faster 10/20 or 60/80 runners. 40 yards can fall between gears or some guys hit top speed too late. I find a lot of twitchy quick guys run 4.5 range. A guy like schoen has his speed line up perfectly for the 40. Iirc he’s our fastest wr by a lot in the 40. Have him race grant in a 60/80/100 and grant smokes him. Same in a 10/20. Not digging schoen by any means. He’s perfect for a certain range and incredibly good at playing that range.
wasn’t holm mostly a S in college too or am I confused? I think he or Parker would be excellent at s. But it is also great to have guys like that at Sam to chip in with the run game.
I really want to see us move on from some vets in the secondary next year. We know they can find turn key dbs in the league and in college. I love some of the vet dbs and what they’ve done for us and the mentality but yeah time to go young.

Last year at the end of one practice Holm, Parker, Ford, and Grant were all coaxed into a 40 yd dash race as the team cheered them on. Winner: Evan Holm by a hair. It was very, very close and from the stands you couldn't tell who won from all 4. However, Holm got all the high 5s from teammates afterwards.

Rose worries me....either giving huge cushion.....or having guys run by him.
Opposition's go-to guy right now....

@Booch take the L on Holm. Dudes a stud. Accept it.
Rose tho, dude is done. So is BA. I suspect those 2 are not back next season.

How though? He'll probably be looking for money starting at $300,000. The Riders may look at him as a starter. Ottawa as well.

Parker hadn't been perfect but he's out there trying to make plays. And that doesn't mean selling out for a pick. Sometimes he does bite a bit but then he's able to recover. He's also able to tackle which Rose can't do. He will get better. There is no way I'm taking him out of the lineup when Houston is back.

I really hope Parker stays in and Houston is an extra DB...

Ok fair.
I just thought it was unfair to point out the elks returner out running Holm, when he literally out ran everyone. I mean it is just one example, but you have been pretty critical of Holm.
WHat is it that you see Holm lacking that the coaches dont see

a viable replacement for the best receiver the league has seen in years........ **** YOU BOMBERS FOR NOT HAVING THIS READILY AVAILABLE!!!
The only viable replacement for Schoen is Lawler..... to paraphrase Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore "...man, I'm glad I called THAT guy..."

I also want to add that I was super impressed with Parker’s speed on that play but no one has mentioned that holm was hardly a step behind him and he was coming off the ground! I thought that was just as awesome. I don’t think he’d have been in position to make a tackle before the end zone but it does say quite a bit about his speed.

I thought he swished on that one but on further review the ball popped up a bit so he probably made contact. If he'd gone for the tackle initially I think he would have stopped him beyond White's FG range, but there is the possibility Rhymes carries him another 10-15 yards.

With agudosi i think it's a combo of the size and that first game. People get excited for that kind of thing.
Reality is he needed to do more when he got his chance

Bombertown reacted to wbbfan in 3 stars + HH No lead is safe
If holm takes the next step next year he is gonna be special. He makes boneheaded plays some times and just misses making a great play. But he’s got such a great instinct and reactive ability to make plays. It’s some thing you can’t teach. Combine that with elite athleticism and a clear love of playing and you have a great young dude. He isn’t Alford, but those are few and far between. Some guys gotta work more for it as a pro. I look forward to seeing what he does next year. One of the few guys playing for us who has his best football infront of him.

Doesn't really make for a good game when the reffing is always on the make-up for crap calls....AND if you watched closely regarding holds....the mugging by the leo o line was also pretty apparent

Olivera - MOP decision finalized. He carries this team. He can catch (one handed I might add), fake, run like a steam roller. Wow I grin like a little kid.
Holm - quiet until the end, had his guy locked up all night. Two potential picks at the end for him that would have been well deserved. Played smart at the end. An absolutely massive PKD at the end
Grant - versatile player that gets the job done. Finally a breath of fresh air to not cover my eyes during returns. Glad to have him back.
HH: Parker - he might have played far off of his man most of the game but who’s to say whether that’s richies call and he always followed up with soul crushing tackles. The tackle at the end felt heroic honestly. He got his **** rocked - thank you for your service Parker.
