Mike Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 McGuffie is probably going to play receiver. It's been a while since he played tailback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Nice to see someone nab McGuffie. Had him on a list of future CFL players last fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I can't wait for the first time he hurdles somebody. He's like a real life version of the way I play offense in Madden. Hurdle spam. K-Shack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Interesting note: Apparently Kyle Jones also punted for the Argos before, too, so he's a safety-net for Arugula, should he falter in that capacity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 So it's safe to assume that Kyle Jones will draw to the lineup this week as STer and backup punter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 An interesting twitter post: Darrin Bauming @DarrinBaumingSigned to #Bombers practice roster this morning, Mike O'Shea says Kyle Jones can play special teams, punt, kick, kickoff, snap, and hold. And Mike O'Shea's humour: Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming O'Shea: ?The one thing he can?t do is snap to himself, hold it, and kick his own FG. But I haven?t asked him to do that so maybe he can."

gbill2004 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 By: Pete Davidson : April 17, 2013 1:06am After a few days watching Rice RB/WR Sam McGuffie on film, I have to say that I am pretty impressed. This guy really needs a nickname. If it wasn’t for Johnny Manziel, I’d call him Sammy Football. He’s that much of a natural football player. McGuffie is from Texas and his versatility reminds me of Randall Cobb. Maybe I could call him Randall “Tex” Cobb. Seriously though, he’s Manziel Light in the open field and he has Randall Cobb-like potential as a hybrid tailback/slot receiver. McGuffie is electric with the rock in his hands and he is bigger than he looks, tipping the scales at about 200 pounds. At 5’10” and change he may be best suited to play in the slot at the next level, but we would not discount his potential to play outside as well. This guy can jump through the ceiling which gives him a chance--even at 5’10”. The only real concern we have with McGuffie is his concussion history. He had three in one season at Michigan back in 2009 and while that was a while ago, and, while he has played well the last few years at Rice, it’s a red flag that can’t be brushed aside. This is especially true when you consider McGuffie’s reckless style of play. Red flags aside, it amazes me that virtually nobody is talking about this player. He is brimming with talent and he has the kind of multi-threat ability that the NFL currently craves. I doubt that the smarter NFL teams are sleeping on him. This kid is just a pure football player. He is fearless with the ball in his hands and we like his potential to stay healthy a lot better as a receiver than as a tailback. If you look at the the second video, you will see how quickly he’s made the transition to receiver. He’s still a work in progress, but the skills are there. Check out the adjustment to the football and the quick feet. If a team drafts him and can get him the ball in space, they could have a very good player on your hands. Things we like about Sammy Football.... Quickness. Just watch this kid’s feet. He’s a blur. Jumping ability. This kid has wings--jumping 40.5 inches at the regional combine. Vision. Look at the Michigan highlights. He sees the field very well. Speed. It’s right there on film, but any doubters were put to rest at the combine, where he ran a 4.37 forty. Though some had it timed even faster. After-the-catch ability from the slot. Great open field ability both from scrimmage and in the return game.

JuranBoldenRules Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Like McGuffie, hope his heart is into it, cause he's got a lot of potential in this league, like Dressler with some meat on his bones potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Packers fan that comment caught my attention immediately. It would be great if his skills transitioned well to the CFL game. Time will tell I suppose.

James Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 McGuffie is probably going to play receiver. It's been a while since he played tailback. It'll be nice to have a guy on the roster that is good at both and handle some return duties as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engelwood Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I would not mind seeing him getting matched up out of the backfield with a LB running a go or wheel type route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
