I based it on last yr tape...his speed...closing ability...pure tackling skill and hustle and his loose hips and being probably the most fluid db we had practicing moving in and out of cuts and change of direction..and ability to redirect....wasn't a hate on Holm like others claimed....just a matter of he was a better refined db with way more upside to boot...many moaned and rolled eyes...said hadn't played in 2 yrs...what makes u think he any better...on and on and on....proof in the pudding and he likely saved our season taking down Rhymes...as if we lost that..we weren't getting first and doubt we pulled off 2 straight just to get to the cup I was referring to you being hired as special consultant....but yeah.

Every single stretching session involved him sitting on his helmet talking to Milt and the other receivers while everyone else stretched lol. He’s the greatest natural football talent I’ve ever seen. 5’6 171 the dynamic change of direction speed was insane, the ability to instantly be at his top speed unreal, but the strength and toughness he possessed was truly freakish. Like grant now, he was just soo hard to take down once you did get a hand on him. He fumbled soo much the first two years just because he would fight to the death for a chance to get a few more inches. It was common place to see him bounce off and fight off tackles from macs and dl. It was also especially hilarious when mike sellers would use him like a battering ram in pass pro at times lol.

Super Duper Negatron Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) There was nothing quite like watching Charlie dissappear into a pile, only to miraculously appear on the other side.

17to85 Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Never seen a guy able to go from not moving to going full speed like that guy. And as said above, one tough dude too. He broke tackles, he fought and scraped for yards, and a solid receiving back too. As much as I am supremely disappointed by his 07 grey cup performance, Charles Roberts was an all time type player who I don't think gets talked about enough as such.

Noeller Posted October 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Brady O episode of Handled Internally.... They mentioned how he ran into Harris when he was in high school, and Harris told him he'd (Brady) eventually break all of his (Harris) records one day. Cameron says "funny thing, Andrew had the exact same conversation with Charles Roberts when he was really young ...of course it was at The Palamino, but still...." I chuckled.... No surprises there.
