That toughness, selflessness, football iq, and drive is classic mafia stuff. I'd bet the house that's why he's still here instead of one of the other younger very talented young wrs from camp.

But those guys seldom get shots. Especially at the "skill" positions. Mbt did very little in HS or college but kicked around half the NFL based on practice performances and great raw tools. Once coaches turn over, or a year or two goes by and you see a bunch more of those high tools guys the old ones fall away. The nfl never really went crazy with the giant wrs. So despite their general bigger is better thing wrs don't seem to gain a lot of value for being above 6'3. Too many busts on guys like matt jones. Even in the XFL he didn't get much of a chance. He's a career PR guy with impeccable tools but who hasn't really gotten a chance. This is the best chance and probably his last chance if he doesn't show well. Respect your opinion, I’m just having a hard time seeing a coach ignore a 6”6” WR with all the tools. I hope he destroys the CFL 1 hour ago, Wideleft said: Just good enough to not quite be good enough? I'm thinking about Greg Carr. Dude had one good season here. Seemed like lightning in a bottle.

Booch Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) like the fact he seems to love ST's and looks damn good at it too Also I would say that he should be in a goal line/short yardage guy on the edge....perfect seal the edge guy and spin off for the easy lay-up TD....Just teams seeing that once will cause teams to pull guys away from the middle to guard against that...

M.Silverback Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 We might not have a burner at WR (Grant, kind of), but we really a big receiving core. Schemed correctly that's a problem for defenses. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he destroys the CFL Dude had one good season here. Seemed like lightning in a bottle. I’ll take it but he was overall just ok I get it. Usually for me the reverse is an exciting trigger. When I see a Wr signed of a milt stature (6'0, 190 range) I expect their skill set to be great. At most positions when I see a big athletic guy I wonder what the catch is. I just don't think the NFL is enamored with tall wrs. I wonder if when stanback gets healthy if he's on the block. He could be a guy ready for the play off push or he could be gone till next year, all depends on the nature of that break and how he recovers. But I could see the bombers being interested in acquiring him at the deadline. Send one of the two NI backs to montreal so they can lock in rb as a long term NI spot with Jeshrun.

Doesnt' look like you'd get much of a chance to score or get a big return. Also as a fan in the stands it's over soo quick it'd be kinda dull after the time it takes to line up.

Few things are more frustrating in football then watching a big, long wr body catch passes. A big guy can pretty much carve a career out of the bare minimum talent and athleticism by getting down field and attacking the ball with their hands. Kenny lawler has done it brilliantly. He has better then minimum athleticism and much better talent, but by no means is he a freak or a great athlete. He's polished, smart, tough, and knows that the key tradecraft of a wr is hands. If a guy is 4+" taller than you, even when he's blanket covered he has the same advantage as having a step on you. If hes much longer too, its 2 or 3 steps.

Don't get too attached, if he's as successful as it appears he will be with his extended height, he could be off to the NFL by next season.

Will McRae be used primarily on 1st down? Will he be in only when we are on a running down? Or will he just be a floater with Aqudosi the primary slotback? Ratios make it interesting. I was thinking we would use McRae when we are using a tight end formation. But honestly I'd keep Agudosi in due to his size he probably is a decent blocker.
