I don’t know how far some of the released players will get before the injured lists are composed..

SBTP - stay by the phone.

Bob was pretty adamant about that; I mean as adamant as Bob gets.

Unsurprisingly, Lucky disagreed😂

Straight line fast? Or break-your-ankles-on-a-cut fast? 

Janarion Grant was with the #Ticats in camp. Inside Info perhaps. 👀. Kid can return the ball though. #CFL

Maybe top end speed- but watching Lucky, he's got that amazing acceleration. 

It's akin to most players being ford mustangs, and Lucky being a Tesla. 

Like Lucky said -"My goal is to let every DB know it’s a different type of speed that I’m about to bring at you. And every time I go on the field I want them to feel that.”

Good question.

I think Lucky has made me say "holy ****!" With his cuts, in every game. The guy is just fun to watch once he gets the ball.

I was let down watching Walker on returns. He certainly didn't look fast like Lucky does, but maybe he just didn't have the openings. I would probably rather have someone quick than fast. Charles Robert's was never fast, but man was he quick and he got a lot of yards because of it.

the problem is Walker hasn't returned kicks/punts in a really really long time. He's a track star, and there's a lot more to returning kicks/punts than just being fast...

Yeah, change of direction is what makes a guy good

Punt returns are a bad indicator of speed, usually not much space to be had and tough to get into the clear.  I always wondered what made Fogg  a good punt returner, he had deceptive speed but I think it was more his vision that made him an above average punt returner.

This does not bode well for Chris Matthews' future here. 

He's already been cut and released....what more do you want?

 

This appears due to Nelson being out long term. Seems like a good add. Is it me or has our scouting gotten better since Rigmaiden joined us?

At least he tried to split the cover team rather than Lankford it. Thought he had some pretty ballsy bursts (yes we're doing phrasing) through coverage for a track star.

I would agree. Walker has better top end speed. Lucky is still stupid fast in high gear. The huge difference maker is that Lucky is worlds quicker and more explosive in small spaces. His Change of direction is drastically better as well.

are you copying the embed code?  Because the "copy link" or whatever used to appear when I hit the down arrow has disappeared.  

Have you switched to "New Twitter"? They've moved the "Copy link to Tweet" option from the top right corner to the funny icon to the right of the 💗.

I think I finally got it figured out...I wasn't understanding what I needed to "copy" from the Twitter end before pasting here. Got it now...

agree.running in a straight line at high Speed  is not enough

Lucky's change of direction at near full speed is top tier.
